| The Standards of Mathematical Practice (SMP) apply throughout this course and, together with the content standards, prescribe that students experience mathematics as a coherent, useful, and logical subject that makes use of their ability to make sense of problem situations. | |
| Content (Course Goals) | What skills will be covered?
|
| The Complex Number System | Perform arithmetic operations with complex numbers; and Use complex numbers in polynomial identities and equations. |
| Seeing Structure in Expressions | Interpret the structure of expressions; and Write expressions in equivalent forms to solve problems.
|
| Arithmetic with Polynomials and Rational Expressions | Perform arithmetic operations on polynomials; Understand the relationship between zeros and factors of polynomials; Use polynomial identities to solve problems; and Rewrite rational expressions.
|
| Reasoning with Equations and Inequalities | Understand solving equations as a process of reasoning and explain the reasoning; and Represent and solve equations and inequalities graphically. |
| Interpreting Functions | Understand the concept of a function and use function notation. Analyze functions using different representations; and Interpret functions that arise in applications in terms of the context.
|
| Trigonometric Functions | Extend the domain of trigonometric functions using the unit circle.; Model periodic phenomena with trigonometric functions.; and Prove and apply trigonometric identities
|
| Creating Equations | Create equations that describe numbers or relationships. |
| Building Functions | Build a function that models a relationship between two quantities; and Build new functions from existing functions.
|
| Linear, Quadratic, and Exponential Models | Construct and compare linear, quadratic, and exponential models and solve problems. Interpret expressions for functions in terms of the situation they model
|
| Interpreting Categorical and Quantitative Data | Summarize, represent, and interpret data on a single count or measurement variable.
|
