Room E10

The Georgia Standards of Excellence places a greater emphasis on problem solving, reasoning, representation, connections, and
communication. Instructional time will focus on four critical areas: (1) connecting ratio and rate to whole number multiplication and
division and using concepts of ratio and rate to solve problems; (2) completing understanding of division of fractions and extending the
notion of number to the system of rational numbers, which includes negative numbers; (3) writing, interpreting, and using expressions
and equations; and (4) developing understanding of statistical thinking.
