Cluster:
Generate and analyze patterns.

Standard:
Generate a number or shape pattern that follows a given rule. Identify apparent features of the pattern that were not explicit in the rule itself. For example, given the rule “Add 3” and the starting number 1, generate terms in the resulting sequence and observe that the terms appear to alternate between odd and even numbers. Explain informally why the numbers will continue to alternate in this way.

Cluster:
Write and interpret numerical expressions.

Standard:
Use parentheses, brackets, or braces in numerical expressions, and evaluate expressions with these symbols.

Cluster:
Write and interpret numerical expressions.

Standard:
Write simple expressions that record calculations with numbers, and interpret numerical expressions without evaluating them. For example, express the calculation “add 8 and 7, then multiply by 2” as 2 × (8 + 7). Recognize that 3 × (18932 + 921) is three times as large as 18932 + 921, without having to calculate the indicated sum or product.

Cluster:
Write and interpret numerical expressions.

Standard:
Express a whole number in the range 2–50 as a product of its prime factors. For example, find the prime factors of 24 and express 24 as 2 × 2 × 2 × 3. CA

Cluster:
Analyze patterns and relationships.

Standard:
Generate two numerical patterns using two given rules. Identify apparent relationships between corresponding terms. Form ordered pairs consisting of corresponding terms from the two patterns, and graph the ordered pairs on a coordinate plane. For example, given the rule “Add 3” and the starting number 0, and given the rule “Add 6” and the starting number 0, generate terms in the resulting sequences, and observe that the terms in one sequence are twice the corresponding terms in the other sequence. Explain informally why this is so.

Cluster:
Develop understanding of statistical variability.

Standard:
Recognize a statistical question as one that anticipates variability in the data related to the question and accounts for it in the answers. For example, “How old am I?” is not a statistical question, but “How old are the students in my school?” is a statistical question because one anticipates variability in students’ ages.

Cluster:
Develop understanding of statistical variability.

Standard:
Understand that a set of data collected to answer a statistical question has a distribution which can be described by its center, spread, and overall shape.

Cluster:
Develop understanding of statistical variability.

Standard:
Recognize that a measure of center for a numerical data set summarizes all of its values with a single number, while a measure of variation describes how its values vary with a single number.

Cluster:
Summarize and describe distributions.

Standard:
Display numerical data in plots on a number line, including dot plots, histograms, and box plots.

Cluster:
Summarize and describe distributions.

Standard:
Summarize numerical data sets in relation to their context, such as by: Reporting the number of observations.
