Students will reason about order and absolute value of rational numbers and the location of points on all four quadrants of a coordinate plane. Students understand the use of variables in mathematical expressions. Students will use real world situations to aid in developing their ability to think statistically. Students will find area, surface area and volume of a variety of polygons. Emphasis will be given to developing the student\u2019s mathematical vocabulary<\/span><\/p>\n
