RP: Ratios and Proportional Relationships

(Framing Text): Analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems.

RP.M.7.1: Compute unit rates associated with ratios of fractions, including ratios of lengths, areas and other quantities measured in like or different units. (e.g., If a person walks 1/2 mile in each 1/4 hour, compute the unit rate as the complex fraction 1/2/1/4 miles per hour, equivalently 2 miles per hour.)

NS.M.7.4.b: Understand p + q as the number located a distance |q| from p, in the positive or negative direction, depending on whether q is positive or negative. (i.e., To add “p + q” on the number line, start at “0” and move to “p” then move |q| in the positive or negative direction depending on whether “q” is positive or negative.) Show that a number and its opposite have a sum of 0 (are additive inverses). Interpret sums of rational numbers by describing real-world contexts.

EE.M.7.8: Understand that rewriting an expression in different forms in a problem context can shed light on the problem and how the quantities in it are related. (e.g., a + 0.05a = 1.05a means that “increase by 5%” is the same as “multiply by 1.05.”)

EE.M.7.9: Solve multi-step real-life and mathematical problems posed with positive and negative rational numbers in any form (whole numbers, fractions, and decimals), using tools strategically. Apply properties of operations to calculate with numbers in any form; convert between forms as appropriate; and assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies. (e.g., If a woman making $25 an hour gets a 10% raise, she will make an additional 1/10 of her salary an hour, or $2.50, for a new salary of $27.50. If you want to place a towel bar 9 3/4 inches long in the center of a door that is 27 1/2 inches wide, you will need to place the bar about 9 inches from each edge; this estimate can be used as a check on the exact computation.)

EE.M.7.10: Use variables to represent quantities in a real-world or mathematical problem and construct simple equations and inequalities to solve problems by reasoning about the quantities.

EE.M.7.10.a: Solve word problems leading to equations of the form px + q = r and p(x + q) = r, where p, q, and r are specific rational numbers. Solve equations of these forms fluently. Compare an algebraic solution to an arithmetic solution, identifying the sequence of the operations used in each approach. (e.g., The perimeter of a rectangle is 54 cm. Its length is 6 cm. What is its width? An arithmetic solution similar to “54 – 6 – 6 divided by 2” may be compared with the reasoning involved in solving the equation 2w – 12 = 54. An arithmetic solution similar to “54/2 – 6” may be compared with the reasoning involved in solving the equation 2(w – 6) = 54.)

Graph the solution set of the inequality and interpret it in the context of the problem. (e.g., As a salesperson, you are paid $50 per week plus $3 per sale. This week you want your pay to be at least $100. Write an inequality for the number of sales you need to make, and describe the solutions.)

SP: Statistics and Probability

(Framing Text): Use random sampling to draw inferences about a population.

SP.M.7.17: Understand that statistics can be used to gain information about a population by examining a sample of the population; generalizations about a population from a sample are valid only if the sample is representative of that population. Understand that random sampling tends to produce representative samples and support valid inferences.

Polling: City
Polling: Neighborhood

SP.M.7.18: Use data from a random sample to draw inferences about a population with an unknown characteristic of interest. Generate multiple samples (or simulated samples) of the same size to gauge the variation in estimates or predictions. (e.g., Estimate the mean word length in a book by randomly sampling words from the book; predict the winner of a school election based on randomly sampled survey data. Gauge how far off the estimate or prediction might be.)

Populations and Samples

SP.M.7.21: Informally assess the degree of visual overlap of two numerical data distributions with similar variabilities, measuring the difference between the centers by expressing it as a multiple of a measure of variability. (e.g., The mean height of players on the basketball team is 10 cm greater than the mean height of players on the soccer team, about twice the variability (mean absolute deviation) on either team; on a dot plot, the separation between the two distributions of heights is noticeable.)

(Framing Text): Investigate chance processes and develop, use, and evaluate probability models.

SP.M.7.23: Understand that the probability of a chance event is a number between 0 and 1 that expresses the likelihood of the event occurring. Larger numbers indicate greater likelihood. A probability near 0 indicates an unlikely event, a probability around 1/2 indicates an event that is neither unlikely nor likely and a probability near 1 indicates a likely event.

Theoretical and Experimental Probability

SP.M.7.24: Approximate the probability of a chance event by collecting data on the chance process that produces it and observing its long-run relative frequency, and predict the approximate relative frequency given the probability. (e.g., When rolling a number cube 600 times, predict that a 3 or 6 would be rolled roughly 200 times, but probably not exactly 200 times.)

Probability Simulations
Theoretical and Experimental Probability

SP.M.7.25: Develop a probability model and use it to find probabilities of events. Compare probabilities from a model to observed frequencies; if the agreement is not good, explain possible sources of the discrepancy.

SP.M.7.25.a: Develop a uniform probability model by assigning equal probability to all outcomes, and use the model to determine probabilities of events. (e.g., If a student is selected at random from a class, find the probability that Jane will be selected and the probability that a girl will be selected.)

SP.M.7.25.b: Develop a probability model (which may not be uniform) by observing frequencies in data generated from a chance process. (e.g., Find the approximate probability that a spinning penny will land heads up or that a tossed paper cup will land open-end down. Do the outcomes for the spinning penny appear to be equally likely based on the observed frequencies?)

SP.M.7.26: Find probabilities of compound events using organized lists, tables, tree diagrams, and simulation.

SP.M.7.26.a: Understand that, just as with simple events, the probability of a compound event is the fraction of outcomes in the sample space for which the compound event occurs.

Independent and Dependent Events

SP.M.7.26.b: Represent sample spaces for compound events using methods such as organized lists, tables and tree diagrams. For an event described in everyday language (e.g., “rolling double sixes”), identify the outcomes in the sample space which compose the event.

Independent and Dependent Events
Permutations and Combinations

SP.M.7.26.c: Design and use a simulation to generate frequencies for compound events. (e.g., Use random digits as a simulation tool to approximate the answer to the question: If 40% of donors have type A blood, what is the probability that it will take at least 4 donors to find one with type A blood?)
