Here are the major units with the number of indicators. I know we don't teach to the indicators but there was NO where in the any documents on breakdown of percentage spent on each unit.

And I left out the Research Project since my students will be handing it in right before final exam time.

Measurement -- Chapter 8 23 Indicators 26%
Geometry -- Chapters 2 and 3 15 Indicators 17%
Number and Logic -- Chapter 1 and 4 and Puzzles 23 indictors 25%
Statistics -- Chapter 5 15 indicators 17%
Relations and functions -- Chapters 6 and 7 13 indicators 15%
Total 89 indicators 100%

Again this is just a rough break down. What are your thoughts on this?

Some of the indicators for chapter 6 (quadratic functions) seemed fairly arbitrary (1.2 and 1.3 in particular), and you could write a series of indicators that satisfy the general outcome.

Weighting Chapter 8 at 26% seems a bit heavy to me. I would personally scale down some of Chapter 8 and scale up chapters 6 and 7.
