Algebraic reasoning. The student applies mathematical process standards to develop concepts of expressions and equations. The student is expected to:

​

(A)  identify prime and composite numbers;

​

(B)  represent and solve multi-step problems involving the four operations with whole numbers using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity;

​

(C)  generate a numerical pattern when given a rule in the form y = ax or y = x + a and graph;

​

(D)  recognize the difference between additive and multiplicative numerical patterns given in a table or graph;

​

(E)  describe the meaning of parentheses and brackets in a numeric expression;

​

(F)  simplify numerical expressions that do not involve exponents, including up to two levels of grouping;

​

(G)  use concrete objects and pictorial models to develop the formulas for the volume of a rectangular prism, including the special form for a cube (V = l x w x h, V = s x s x s, and V = Bh); and

​

(H)  represent and solve problems related to perimeter and/or area and related to volume.
