Unit 1: Real Numbers Subject/Course: Pre-Algebra Grade Level: 8th School Year: 2013-2014

This section completed once per whole unit. (Its purpose is to clarify the unit’s big idea and connecting standards.) Big Ideas: Why is this learning important? What generalization or principle do you want to know/do? The big idea resides at the heart of the discipline, and has value beyond classroom. These may come from the cluster deconstructing process. Know that there are numbers that are not rational, and approximate them by rational numbers. Work with radicals and integer exponents like Scientific Notation. Common Core Standards / State Standards Content Standard: Domain: Number System including CODE + Cluster: Know that there are numbers that are not rational, and (Rigor) approximate them by rational numbers Standard Code:  8.NS.1. Know that numbers that are not rational are called irrational. Understand informally that every number has a decimal expansion; for rational numbers show that the decimal expansion repeats eventually, and convert a decimal expansion which repeats eventually into a rational number. (Apply/DOK 2)  8.NS.2. Use rational approximations of irrational numbers to compare the size of irrational numbers, locate them 07248ea3290173b920ed71ac382e1a02.docx Page 3 approximately on a number line diagram, and estimate the value of expressions (e.g., √2). For example, by truncating the decimal expansion of √2, show that √2 is between 1 and 2, then between 1.4 and 1.5, and explain how to continue on to get better approximations.

Domain: Expressions and Equations Cluster: Work with radicals and integer exponents. Standard Code:  8.EE.1. Know and apply the properties of integer exponents to generate equivalent numerical expressions. For example, 32 × 3–5 = 3–3 = 1/33 = 1/27.  8.EE.2 Use square root and cube root symbols to represent solutions to equations of the form x² = p and x³ = p, where p is a positive rational number. Evaluate square roots of small perfect squares and cube roots of small perfect cubes. Know that √2 is irrational.  8.EE.3. Use numbers expressed in the form of a single digit times an integer power of 10 to estimate very large or very small quantities, and to express how many times as much one is than the other. (Apply/DOK 3)For example, estimate the population of the United States as 3 × 108 and the population of the world as 7 × 109, and determine that the world population is more than 20 times larger.  8.EE.4. Perform operations with numbers expressed in scientific notation, including problems where both decimal and scientific notation are used. Use scientific notation and choose units of appropriate size for measurements of very large or very small quantities (e.g., use millimeters per year for seafloor spreading). Interpret scientific notation that has been generated by technology.

Standard Code:  8.EE.7.Solve linear equations in one variable. o Give examples of linear equations in one variable with one solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solutions. Show which of these possibilities is the case by successively transforming the given equation into simpler forms, until an equivalent equation of the form x = a, a = a, or a = b results (where a and b are different numbers). o Solve linear equations with rational number coefficients, including equations whose solutions require expanding expressions using the distributive property and collecting like terms.  8.EE.8. Analyze and solve pairs of simultaneous linear equations. (Analyze/DOK 3) o Understand that solutions to a system of two linear equations in two variables correspond to points of intersection of their graphs, because points of intersection satisfy both equations simultaneously. o Solve systems of two linear equations in two variables algebraically, and estimate solutions by graphing the equations. Solve simple cases by inspection. For example, 3x + 2y = 5 and 3x + 2y = 6 have no solution because 3x + 2y cannot simultaneously be 5 and 6. o Solve real-world and mathematical problems leading to two linear equations in two variables.

For example, given a linear function represented by a table of values and a linear function represented by an algebraic expression, determine which function has the greater rate of change. Domain: Functions Cluster: Use functions to model relationships between quantities. Standard Code: o 8.F.4. Construct a function to model a linear relationship between two quantities. Determine the rate of change and initial value of the function from a description of a relationship or from two (x, y) values, including reading these from a table or from a graph.

(Analyze/ DOK 3) o 8.SP.2 Know that straight lines are widely used to model relationships between two quantitative variables. For scatter plots that suggest a linear association, informally fit a straight line, and informally assess the model fit by judging the closeness of the data points to the line. o 8.SP.3. Use the equation of a linear model to solve problems in the context of bivariate measurement data, interpreting the slope and intercept. (Analyze/ DOK 3) For example, in a linear model for a biology experiment, interpret a slope of 1.5 cm/hr as meaning that an additional hour of sunlight each day is associated with an additional 1.5 cm in mature plant height. o 8.SP.4.

From scatter plot display have students interpret the relationship by determining line of best fit, determine an approximate linear equation, identify the slope. Students work in small groups or in pairs to construct and interpret data by creating two- way tables using Word, Keynote or other program. Have students share their two-way tables with other groups for comparison of group analysis. Teacher can provide data through survey or extend by having students create their own two question survey.
