Topic
Operations
Benchmark MA.PA.2.1
Apply the order of operations when calculating with rational numbers

Numbers and Operations
Standard 3: Numbers and Operations: COMPUTATION STRATEGIES: Use computational tools and strategies fluently and, when appropriate, use estimation
Topic
Computational Fluency
Benchmark MA.PA.3.1
Add, subtract, multiply, and divide numbers with whole number exponents
Sample Performance Assessment (SPA)
The student: Uses arithmetic properties (e.g., associative, commutative, distribute, identity properties) and the Law of Exponents to calculate numbers that have whole number exponents (e.g., 42 x 44 = 46), and when appropriate, use the properties to make it easier to perform the calculations (e.g., instead of multiplying 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 to calculate 34, the student represents 34 as 32 x 32 which becomes 9 x 9 which can be more easily computed with mental math).
