      1.1.A1A Assessed Indicator equivalent representations of rational numbers and simple algebraic expressions, e.g., you are in the mountains. Wilson Mountain has an altitude of 5.28 x 103 feet. Rush Mountain is 4,300 feet tall. How much higher is Wilson Mountain than Rush Mountain?
      1.1.A1B fraction and decimal approximations of the irrational number pi, e.g., Mary measured the distance around her 48-inch diameter circular table to be 150 inches. Using this information, approximate pi as a fraction and as a decimal.
      1.1.K1 knows, explains, and uses equivalent representations for rational numbers and simple algebraic expressions including integers, fractions, decimals, percents, and ratios; integer bases with whole number exponents; positive rational numbers written in scientific notation with positive integer exponents; time; and money (2.4.K1a-c) ($), e.g., 253,000 is equivalent to 2.53 x 105 or x + 5x is equivalent to 6x.

      1.2.A1D symmetric property of equality, e.g., Sam took a $15 check to the bank and received a $10 bill and a $5 bill. Later Sam took a $10 bill and a $5 bill to the bank and received a check for $15. $15 = $10 + $5 is the same as $10 + $5 = $15.
      1.2.A1E additive and multiplicative identities, e.g., Bob and Sue read a number of books. During the week, they each read 5 books. Compare the number of books each read. Let b= the number of books Bob read and s= the number of books Sue read, then b+5=s+5
      1.2.A1F zero property of multiplication, e.g., Jenny was thinking of two numbers. Jenny said that the product of the two numbers was 0. What could you deduct from this statement? Explain your reasoning.

      1.2.K4 uses and describes these properties with the rational number system and demonstrates their meaning including the use of concrete objects (2.4.K1a) ($):

      1.2.K4C zero property of multiplication (any number multiplied by zero is zero);
      1.2.K4D addition and multiplication properties of equality (adding/multiplying the same number to each side of an equation results in an equivalent equation);
      1.2.K4E additive and multiplicative inverse properties. (Every number has a value known as its additive inverse and when the original number is added to that additive inverse, the answer is zero, e.g., +5 + –5 = 0. Every number except 0 has a value known as its multiplicative inverse and when the original number multiplied by its inverse, the answer will be 1, e.g., 8 x 1/8 =1.)

The goat needs 200 square feet of grass to graze. Does the goat have enough pasture? If not, how long should the rope be?
      1.3.A3 determines a reasonable range for the estimation of a quantity given a real-world problem and explains the reasonableness of the range (2.4.A1a), e.g., how long will it take your teacher to walk two miles? The range could be 25-35 minutes.
      1.3.K3 recognizes and explains the difference between an exact and approximate answer (2.4.K1a).
      1.3.K4 determines the appropriateness of an estimation strategy used and whether the estimate is greater than (overestimate) or less than (underestimate) the exact answer and its potential impact on the result (24.K1a).
