Mathematics
  Standard 1. Uses a variety of strategies in the problem-solving process
   Level   III   [Grade:  6-8]
    5.Represents problem situations in and translates among oral, written, concrete, pictorial, and graphical forms
   Level   IV   [Grade:  9-12]
    7.Understands connections between equivalent representations and corresponding procedures of the same problem situation or mathematical concept (e.g., a zero of a function corresponds to an x-intercept of the graph of the function, the correspondence of binary multiplication to a series electrical circuit and the logical operation "and")
  Standard 2. Understands and applies basic and advanced properties of the concepts of numbers
   Level   IV   [Grade:  9-12]
    3.Uses discrete structures (e.g., finite graphs, matrices, sequences) to represent and to solve problems
  Standard 6. Understands and applies basic and advanced concepts of statistics and data analysis
   Level   Pre-K   [Grade:  Pre-K]
    1.Knows that concrete and pictorial graphs represent information
   Level   I   [Grade:  K-2]
    1.Collects and represents information about objects or events in simple graphs
   Level   II   [Grade:  3-5]
    4.Organizes and displays data in simple bar graphs, pie charts, and line graphs
    5.Reads and interprets simple bar graphs, pie charts, and line graphs
   Level   III   [Grade:  6-8]
    6.Organizes and displays data using tables, graphs (e.g., line, circle, bar), frequency distributions, and plots (e.g., stem-and-leaf, box-and-whiskers, scatter)
    8.Understands that the same set of data can be represented using a variety of tables, graphs, and symbols and that different modes of representation often convey different messages (e.g., variation in scale can alter a visual message)
   Level   IV   [Grade:  9-12]
    1.Selects and uses the best method of representing and describing a set of data (e.g., scatter plot, line graph, two-way table)
   Level   V   [Grade:  13]
    3.Identifies patterns in graphical displays of data
  Standard 7. Understands and applies basic and advanced concepts of probability
   Level   IV   [Grade:  9-12]
    5.Understands the properties of the normal curve (i.e., the graph used to approximate the distribution of data for many real-world phenomena) and how the normal curve can be used to answer questions about sets of data
  Standard 8. Understands and applies basic and advanced properties of functions and algebra
   Level   III   [Grade:  6-8]
    3.Understands various representations (e.g., tables, graphs, verbal descriptions, algebraic expressions, Venn diagram) of patterns and functions and the relationships among them
    5.Solves linear equations using concrete, informal, and formal methods (e.g., using properties, graphing ordered pairs, using slope-intercept form)
    10.Solves simple systems of equations graphically
   Level   IV   [Grade:  9-12]
    4.Understands properties of graphs and the relationship between a graph and its corresponding expression (e.g., maximum and minimum points)
    7.Uses a variety of models (e.g., written statement, algebraic formula, table of input-output values, graph) to represent functions, patterns, and relationships
    9.Understands the effects of parameter changes on functions and their graphs
    10.Understands the basic concept of inverse function and the corresponding graph
    11.Uses a variety of methods (e.g., with graphs, algebraic methods, and matrices) to solve systems of equations and inequalities
   Level   V   [Grade:  13]
    3.Understands graphs of solution sets of quadratic inequalities
    10.Understands periodicity in the trigonometric functions and their graphs
    12.Understands the graph of a function of the form f(t)=Asin(Bt+C)+D or g(t)=Acos(Bt+C)+D, in terms of amplitude, frequency, period, and vertical shift, and phase shift
  Standard 9. Understands the general nature and uses of mathematics
   Level   II   [Grade:  3-5]
    2.Understands that mathematical ideas and concepts can be represented concretely, graphically, and symbolically
