The 1996 Show-Me Standards were used as a reference to develop the current Missouri Learning Standards, which outline general academic achievements for students in nine subject areas, including mathematics. These standards provide a framework for what knowledge students should know, and the skills they should be able to demonstrate after completing each grade level.
!!!Elementary Math Standards in Missouri
Elementary students can review their math skills using the course [Math for Kids| http://study.com/academy/course/math-for-kids.html].
!!Kindergarten
Kindergarten students will learn how to count to 100 and will be able to determine numbers of items. They will be introduced to the addition and …show more content…
Students will be also be introduced to the concepts of positive, negative, and rational numbers. Furthermore, they will begin to implement variables into mathematical equations and gain a basic understanding of statistics.
!!7th Grade
In the 7th grade, students will examine relationships between proportions and apply this concept to solve word problems. They will learn multiple ways in which mathematical relationships can be expressed, and how to solve equations with several variables. Students will be able to represent geometric concepts with drawings to solve problems. They will also expand on statistical concepts such as sampling methods, probability, and make assumptions about the similarities and differences between two groups.
!!8th …show more content…
They will learn how to explain linear and other relationships using mathematical equations. Students will also be able to solve linear problems that contain up to two variables. Furthermore, they will consider the principles of congruence and transformation as it applies to geometric figures, and will be introduced to the Pythagorean Theorem.
!!!High School Math Standards in Missouri
!!Number and Quantity
Concepts of exponents, rational, and irrational numbers previously learned will be expanded at the high school level. The application and selection of appropriate units of measure is also considered. Students will graph and solve equations using abstract numbers, different powers, and more than two algebraic expressions. They will also be introduced to vectors and matrices.
!!Algebra
At the high school level, students will learn how to describe complex numerical expressions and translate words into mathematical equations. They will find zeros of polynomial equations, and learn how to solve and graph inequalities. Students can further review algebra concepts using the courses [Algebra I|http://study.com/academy/course/algebra-i-high-school.html] and [Algebra II|
