Perform calculations with place value systems 2. Evaluate the equivalence of numeric algorithms and explain the advantages and disadvantages of equivalent algorithms in different circumstances. 3. Apply algorithms from number theory to determine divisibility in a variety of settings. 4. Analyze least common multiples and greatest common divisors and their role in standard algorithms. 5. Explain the concept of rational numbers, using both ratio and decimal representations; analyze the arithmetic algorithms for these two representations; and justify their equivalence. 6. Analyze the structure and properties of whole, rational, and real number systems; define the concept of rational and irrational numbers, including their decimal representation; and illustrate the use of a number line representation. 7. Develop and reinforce conceptual understanding of mathematical topics through the use of patterns, problem solving, communication, connections, modeling, reasoning, and representation. 8. Develop activities implementing curriculum standards.Outcomes Analyze the equivalence of numeric algorithms and explain the advantages and disadvantages of equivalent algorithms in different circumstances.
