Expressions, equations, and relationships. The student applies mathematical process standards to use equations and inequalities to solve problems. The student is expected to:

identify and explain how changes resulting from the Industrial Revolution led to conflict among sections of the United States;

Economics. The student understands how geography influences economic activities. The student is expected to:

model and solve one-variable, one-step equations and inequalities that represent problems, including geometric concepts; and

understand the connections between levels of development and economic activities (primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary);

identify reasons people moved west;

determine if the given value(s) make(s) one-variable, one-step equations or inequalities true.

identify the factors affecting the location of different types of economic activities, including subsistence and commercial agriculture, manufacturing, and service industries; and

identify significant events and concepts associated with U.S. territorial expansion, including the Louisiana Purchase, the expedition of Lewis and Clark, and Manifest Destiny;

identify the causes of the Civil War, including sectionalism, states' rights, and slavery, and the effects of the Civil War, including Reconstruction and the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments to the U.S. Constitution;

Measurement and data. The student applies mathematical process standards to use coordinate geometry to identify locations on a plane. The student is expected to graph points in all four quadrants using ordered pairs of rational numbers.

assess how changes in climate, resources, and infrastructure (technology, transportation, and communication) affect the location and patterns of economic activities.

explain how industry and the mechanization of agriculture changed the American way of life; and

Measurement and data. The student applies mathematical process standards to use numerical or graphical representations to analyze problems. The student is expected to:

Economics. The student understands the economic importance of, and issues related to, the location and management of resources. The student is expected to:

analyze how the creation, distribution, and management of key natural resources affects the location and patterns of movement of products, money, and people; and

identify the challenges, opportunities, and contributions of people from various American Indian and immigrant groups.

represent numeric data graphically, including dot plots, stem-and-leaf plots, histograms, and box plots;

use the graphical representation of numeric data to describe the center, spread, and shape of the data distribution;

evaluate the geographic and economic impact of policies related to the development, use, and scarcity of natural resources such as regulations of water.

History. The student understands important issues, events, and individuals in the United States during the 20th and 21st centuries. The student is expected to:

summarize numeric data with numerical summaries, including the mean and median (measures of center) and the range and interquartile range (IQR) (measures of spread), and use these summaries to describe the center, spread, and shape of the data distribution; and

analyze various issues and events of the 20th century such as industrialization, urbanization, increased use of oil and gas, the Great Depression, the world wars, the civil rights movement, and military actions;

Government. The student understands the spatial characteristics of a variety of global political units. The student is expected to:

summarize categorical data with numerical and graphical summaries, including the mode, the percent of values in each category (relative frequency table), and the percent bar graph, and use these summaries to describe the data distribution.

interpret maps to explain the division of land, including man-made and natural borders, into separate political units such as cities, states, or countries; and

analyze various issues and events of the 21st century such as the War on Terror and the 2008 presidential election; and
