Table 3 - Tasks in Mathematics
Substantial blocks
Numbers:
Integers; common and decimal fractions; whole numbers; relationships, percentages and
proportions
Algebra:
Dependencies; algebraic expressions; equation / expression and function
Geometry:
Geometric measurement; geometric figures; location and movement of the figures
Data and likelihood:

Thematic block of the
Number
for students of the
8th grade
includes not only
an understanding of integers and natural numbers, common and decimal fractions,
proportions and interest, but also a demonstration of skills, their use in solving
various problems.
Tasks of the substantial block
Algebra
contain questions aimed at identifying
numerical patterns and the use of algebraic symbols in solving mathematical
situational tasks.
Completing the tasks of the substantial block G
eometry
, students should be able
to analyze the properties and characteristics of two and three-dimensional geometric
shapes, lengths of the sides, angles, dimensions and represent reasonable answers.
The substantial block D
ata and the probability
includes the tasks for
presentation and interpretation of data, graphs and tables.
The following instruction is offered at performing tasks in scientific and
mathematical literacy as a guideline.
1. Read the task and try to extract key information.
2. Carefully read the drawings, diagrams, graphs and tables to the tasks.
3. It is necessary to consider to simplify the sentences, which will make easy the
solution of the problem.
4. If necessary, try to make a schematic drawing or a picture.
5. In most cases, it is useful to solve the problem in a general way, denoting all
values with the corresponding letters and making with them the necessary.
6. After receiving the solution in general way, try to verify its reasonableness, by
analyzing dimensions and comparing it with the the solved similar problem.
