-fundamental numeral operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication
division of whole numbers, fractions, and decimals
-ratio and proportion
-percent
-systems of measurement
-an introduction to geometry

Use the data to see if you can answer the question, "Is there evidence that the Saratoga Creek restoration in 1999 was successful at reducing the Phragmites invasion?"

Use this data about shy and bold fish to talk about statistics in a real situation while emphasizing percents and making predictions and graphs.

Do smells influence the attractiveness of a mate as much as the color of feathers for birds? Use this data nugget to determine your solution.

What makes an invasive species so problamatic? Review this summarized data, work with finding means and percents and create a bar graph to determine a solution.

Use a two-way table to answer the questions, "Why do most male crickets on Kauai have flat wings? Could parasitoid flies have contributed to the loss of song for male crickets?"

"At what latitudes do caterpillars do the most damage to pokeweed?" Review this data to determine a solution.

"How did replacing the narrow culverts with wider culverts change the growth of Phragmites in the marsh?" Use this data to find a solution to this question and see statistics in action.

Is mud more than just wet dirt? Review this data and look for any trends to determine relationships between organic matter and phosphorus in different muds.

Does the diameter of a tree determine how suseptable it is to a fungus? Use this data to create a scatterplot and see if there is any correlation.

Electric Cars: Standard 7.RP.3: Use proportional relationships to solve multi-step ratio and percent problems.
This formative assessment exemplar was created by a team of Utah educators to be used as a resource in the classroom. It was reviewed for appropriateness by a Bias and Sensitivity/Special Education team and by state mathematics leaders. While no assessment is perfect, it is intended to be used as a formative tool that enables teachers to obtain evidence of student learning, identify assets and gaps in that learning, and adjust instruction for the two dimensions that are important for mathematical learning experiences (i.e., Standards for Mathematical Practice, Major Work of the Grade).

The CyberSquad has to find a crystal that is between 65% and 85% orange to power up their escape from Hacker in this video from Cyberchase.

Are all atoms of an element the same? How can you tell one isotope from another? Use the sim to learn about isotopes and how abundance relates to the average atomic mass of an element.

In this interactive Flash version of the familiar game Concentration ("pelmanism" in the UK) a single user practices finding equivalent forms of fractions, decimals and percents, while developing memory and focusing skills. The player can choose an array of 16, 20, or 24 cards, which appear face down. The goal is to flip two cards at a time to match all pairs of equivalent values as efficiently as possible. A scoring feature discourages random guessing. Printable versions of the game cards are available to download. The Teachers' Notes page offers suggestions for implementation, discussion questions, and ideas for support.

This problem provides an opportunity for students to reason about ratio and proportion in the realistic context of mixing a fruit drink from concentrate. The Teachers' Notes page offers suggestions for implementation, discussion questions, ideas for extension and support, and links to related problems (Blackcurrantiest is cataloged separately).

Students design and carry out a procedure to find the percentage of sugar in bubble gum, which then easily translates to percent composition for chemical analysis.

WNBA athletes discuss attendance at basketball games in terms of percentages in this video segment from TV 411.

This TV 411 segment features a lesson from Question Man on how to informally calculate 15% tips at restaurants.

The principal purpose of the task is to explore a real-world application problem with algebra, working with units and maintaining reasonable levels of accuracy throughout.
