Implementing Common Core State Standards
Mathematics Content Standards
8.F.1: Understand that a function is a rule that assigns to each input exactly one output. The graph of a function is the set of ordered pairs consisting of an input and the corresponding output.
8.F.5: Describe qualitatively the functional relationship between two quantities by analyzing a graph (e.g. where the function is increasing or decreasing, linear or nonlinear). Sketch a graph that exhibits the qualitative features of a function that has been described verbally.
8.SP.1: Construct and interpret scatter plots for bivariate measurement data to investigate patterns of association between two quantities. Describe patterns such as clustering, outliers, positive or negative association, linear association, and nonlinear association.
Mathematical Practice Standards
Standard 1: Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
Standard 3: Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
Standard 4: Model with mathematics.
Standard 6: Attend to precision.
Standard 8: Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
ELA Standards (Writing)
8.W.1: Write arguments to support claims with clear reasons and relevant evidence.
8.W.2: Write informative/explanatory texts to examine a topic and convey ideas, concepts, and information through the selection, organization, and analysis of relevant content.
8.W.7: Conduct short research projects to answer a question (including a self-generated question) drawing on several sources and generating additional related, focused questions that allow for multiple avenues of exploration.
