10. Rigor/Relevance Framework 6 • Obtain historical data about local weather to predict the chance of snow, rain, or sun during year. • Test consumer products and illustrate the data graphically. • Plan a large school event and calculate resources (food, decorations, etc.) you need to organize and hold this event. • Make a scale drawing of the classroom on grid paper, each group using a different scale. • Analyze the graphs of the perimeters and areas of squares having different-length sides. • Determine the largest rectangular area for a fixed perimeter. • Identify coordinates for ordered pairs that satisfy an algebraic relation or function. • Determine and justify the similarity or congruence for two geometric shapes. D C 5 4 3 • Calculate percentages of advertising in a newspaper. • Tour the school building and identify examples of parallel and perpendicular lines, planes, and angles. • Determine the median and mode of real data displayed in a histogram • Organize and display collected data, using appropriate tables, charts, or graphs. • Express probabilities as fractions, percents, or decimals. • Classify triangles according to angle size and/or length of sides. • Calculate volume of simple three- dimensional shapes. • Given the coordinates of a quadrilateral, plot the quadrilateral on a grid. 2 B A 1 1 2 3 4 5
