Learners can analyze information and formulate a flexible, systematic plan to problem-solve authentic situations and reflect on the reasonableness of the solution, making revisions when necessary.8.MA.P

Learners can create connections within and across concepts and provide examples of how they relate to other learning and ideas using supporting evidence.8.MA.C

Learners can reason logically, citing evidence to evaluate and explain what they see, think, and conclude through exploration and justification.8.MA.R
