Mathematics, Science, and Technology
Intermediate Level

Analysis, Inquiry, and Design
Students will use mathematical analysis, scientific inquiry, and
engineering design, as appropriate, to pose questions, seek
answers, and develop solutions.

Information Systems
Students will access, generate, process, and transfer
information using appropriate technologies.

Mathematics
Students will understand mathematics and become mathemati-
cally confident by communicating and reasoning mathematically,
by applying mathematics in real- world settings, and by solving
problems through the integrated study of number systems,
geometry, algebra, data analysis, probability, and trigonometry.

Science
Students will understand and apply scientific concepts,
principles, and theories pertaining to the physical setting and
living environment and recognize the historical development of
ideas in science.

Technology
Students will apply technological knowledge and skills to
design, construct, use, and evaluate products and systems to
satisfy human and environmental needs.

Interconnectedness: Common Themes
Students will understand the relationships and common
themes that connect mathematics, science, and technology and
apply the themes to these and other areas of learning.

Interdisciplinary Problem Solving
Students will apply the knowledge and thinking skills of
mathematics, science, and technology to address real- life problems
and make informed decisions.
