Jan 26, 2016 - The focus in this topic is on polynomial arithmetic and how it is analogous to operations with integers. The module opens with a lively lesson that engages students in writing polynomial expressions...
Jan 26, 2016 - This topic focuses on factoring polynomials and the advantages of factored form of a polynomial to both solve equations and sketch graphs of polynomial functions. Students solve problems involving...
Jan 26, 2016 - Students solve polynomial, rational, and radical equations, and apply these types of equations to real-world situations. They examine the conditions under which an extraneous solution is introduced...
Jan 26, 2016 - Students extend their facility with solving polynomial equations to working with complex zeros. Complex numbers are introduced via their relationship with geometric transformations. The topic...
Jan 26, 2016 - Students will use trigonometric functions to model periodic phenomena (F-TF.B.5) by fitting sinusoidal functions to data (S-ID.B.6a). Students use the properties of the graphs of sinusoidal...
Jan 26, 2016 - In this topic, students develop an understanding of the six basic trigonometric functions as functions of the amount of rotation of a point on the unit circle (F-TF.A.1), and then translate that...
Jan 26, 2016 - In Topic A, students both review what they already know about exponential expressions and functions with integer exponents, and extend the meaning of an exponential expression to allow for first...
Jan 26, 2016 - At the beginning of Topic B, students apply the properties of exponents to solve exponential equations numerically (F-BF.1a) as a way to motivate the need for logarithms, which are first introduced...
Jan 26, 2016 - In Topic C, students graph logarithmic functions, identifying key features (F-IF.4, F-IF.7) and discover how the logarithmic properties are evidenced in the graphs of corresponding logarithmic...
Jan 26, 2016 - Topic D opens with a hands-on simulation and modeling activity in which students gather data and apply the analysis of Lesson 22 in Topic C to model it with an exponential function (A-CED.2, F-LE.5...
Jan 26, 2016 - Topic E is a culminating series of lessons driven by MP.4, Modeling with Mathematics. Students apply what they have learned about mathematical models and exponential growth to financial literacy...
Jan 26, 2016 - Chance experiments, sample space, and events such as unions, intersections, and complements are explained. Probabilities of unions and intersections are calculated using data in two-way tables and...
Jan 26, 2016 - Smooth curves are used to model given data distributions, eventually using the normal distribution to model data distributions that are bell shaped and symmetric. Tables and technology are used to...
Jan 26, 2016 - The purposes of and differences among observational studies, surveys, experiments are explored along with how randomization relates to each. Data from random samples are used to estimate a...
Jan 26, 2016 - Conclusions are drawn based on data from a statistical experiment. Simulation is used to explore whether an oberved difference in group means is significant. Published reports based on statisical...
