10.10.2. Describe the recent history of the regions, including political divisions and systems, key leaders, religious issues, natural features, resources, and population patterns. 10.10.3: Discuss the important trends in the regions (the Middle East, Africa, Mexico and other parts of Latin America) today and whether they appear to serve the cause of individual freedom and democracy. Common Core Mathematics Standards: CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSS.ID.A.1 Represent data with plots on the real number line (dot plots, histograms, and box plots). CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSS.ID.B.6 Represent data on two quantitative variables on a scatter plot, and describe how the variables are related. CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSS.ID.B.6.C Fit a linear function for a scatter plot that suggests a linear association. CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSS.MD.A.4 (+) Develop a probability distribution for a random variable defined for a sample space in which probabilities are assigned empirically; find the expected value. For example, find a current data distribution on the number of TV sets per household in the United States, and calculate the expected number of sets per household. How many TV sets would you expect to find in 100 randomly selected households? California English Language Development Standards, Grades 9-10 Part I, Strand 1: Exchanging information and ideas with others through oral collaborative discussions on a range of social and academic topics.. Part I, Strand 6: Reading closely literary and informational texts and viewing multimedia to determine how meaning is conveyed explicitly and implicitly through language. Part I, Strand 9: Writing literary and informational texts to present, describe, and explain ideas and information, using appropriate technology. California Common Core Standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies, Grades 9-10 RH.2 Determine the central ideas or information of a primary or secondary source; provide an accurate summary of how key events or ideas develop over the course of a text. RH.7 Integrate quantitative or technical analysis (e.g. charts, research data) with qualitative analysis in print or digital text. WHST.7 Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects to answer a question (including a self-generated question) or solve a problem; narrow or broaden the inquiry when appropriate; synthesize multiple sources on the subject, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation. WHST.8 Gather relevant information from multiple authoritative print and digital sources (primary and secondary), using advanced searches effectively; assess the usefulness of each source in answering the research question; integrate information into the text selectively to maintain the flow of ideas, avoiding plagiarism and following a standard format for citation. |
