In this unit the students will learn to identify properties of dilations and compositions of dilations, describe the effect of dilations on two-dimensional figures in general and using coordinates. They will apply the Pythagorean Theorem to two and three dimensions using real world examples.
Students will extend their understanding of equations to represent real world contexts to consider linear equations. Students will leave this unit able to solve linear equations and recognize the number of solutions to a linear equation.
Students will study how economic and environmental disasters in the 1930s created hardships for many Americans. In addition, students will investigate, despite much debate about the appropriate role of government, how President Franklin D. Roosevelt helped to create intensive government interventions in the United States economy and society.

In addition, students will have the opportunity to explore how economic activities in New York State are varied and have changed over time, including improvements in transportation and technology.
Students will learn to define, evaluate, and compare functions. They will solve real-world and mathematical problems involving volume of cylinders, cones, and spheres.
Students will solve real-life and mathematical problems involving angle measures, area, circumference, surface area and volume.
Students will study the aggression of the Axis powers that threatened United States security and led to its entry into World War II. Students will explore the nature and consequences of warfare during World War II and how it transformed the United States and the global community. In addition, students will investigate the damage from total warfare and atrocities such as the Holocaust and how they led to a call for international efforts to protect human rights and prevent future wars.
Many people have immigrated and migrated to New York State contributing to its cultural growth and development.
