| How can polynomial functions model real-world or mathematical situations as seen in tables, graphs, and equations that represent these situations? | | In Algebra 1, students worked to make connections between representations of functions. They observed that different forms of symbolic representations of linear and quadratic functions revealed different features of the functions and vice versa. Factored form, for example, revealed rational zeroes and x-intercepts while vertex form more readily connected to translations of the curves. Students also examined recursive patterns in linear, quadratic, and exponential functions. In this unit they will make connections to these prior experiences as they extend similar reasoning and explorations to power and polynomial functions. Many standards that were introduced in Algebra 1 will be further developed and/or utilized across Algebra 2 units; look for these standards under the Unit Level Standards heading. Power functions have the general form f(x)= axn. The study of power functions includes exploring the impact of changing the values of the coefficient a and the exponent n. (In this unit, n is kept to positive whole numbers. In unit 4, the study of these models will include values of n that are negative and fractional, as well as whole numbers.) Numeric patterns in tables will be contrasted to linear and quadratic patterns of change and connected to features in the graphs. As n increases students will also note similarities and differences in shapes of the graphs and examine rotational or reflectional symmetry. Attending to the structures in both the graphs and equations will lead to generalizations about power functions with even exponents compared to power functions with odd exponents. End behavior is introduced as a way to compare and contrast the ranges. Students will use multiple representations to first explore and then generalize that the ranges for odd degree power functions are all real numbers and the ranges for even degree power functions is restricted. Polynomial functions are the sum of power functions and can be represented symbolically by: f(x) = anxn+ an-1xn-1+…+ a1x1+a0x0, where n is a whole number, and the coefficients, an,are real numbers. Looking for patterns in tables, graphs, and equations will help develop an understanding of characteristics of odd and even degree polynomial functions as an extension to power functions. These patterns show the relationship of the degree of the polynomial function to the possible number of zeroes and the general shape of the graphs. The key features of the graph and the relationship to the equation and table provide the basis for developing understanding of this broader class of polynomial functions. Students will also perform arithmetic operations on polynomials. They will rewrite polynomials in factored form to reveal the zeroes using clues from the tables and graphs and structures in equations of the functions. They extend their understanding of the relationship between zeroes and factors from quadratics to polynomial functions. They see that for a polynomial p(x), and a number a, p(a) = 0 if and only if (x-a) is a factor of p(x). (Division by (x-a) is postponed for unit 4 where the Remainder Theorem will be used.) This unit could also include an introduction to the Binomial Theorem and Pascal's Triangle to demonstrate expansion of (x+y)n. In Algebra 1, students solved systems of linear equations both approximately, with tables and graphs, and exactly using algebraic strategies.They found approximate solutions for systems of equations consisting of both linear and exponential equations. In addition they found both approximate and exact solutions for systems that include linear, exponential and quadratic equations. In this unit, students will extend these concepts to include systems containing polynomial functions. | There are standards listed in this section for two reasons. - The standards have been modified to be appropriate for this unit.

| How can visual displays and statistical calculations be used to organize, analyze, and evaluate data sets? | | In this unit, students will build on the knowledge and experience developed in the 6th grade and 7th grade univariate statistics units. (Bivariate data was the statistical focus in 8th grade and Algebra 1.) “They will develop a more formal and precise understanding of statistical inference, which requires a deeper understanding of probability. Students learn that formal inference procedures are designed for studies in which the sampling or assignment of treatments was random, and these procedures may not be informative when analyzing non-randomized studies, often called observational studies.” (Progressions for the CCSS-M High School Statistics and Probability, p. 2)“Students now move beyond analyzing data to making sound statistical decisions based on probability models.” (Progressions for the CCSS-M High School Statistics and Probability, p.8). In addition, students will deepen their understanding of summarizing, representing and interpreting data on a single measurement variable by applying more complex measurement tools. As in past data units, students: (1) formulate questions, (2) design a plan to collect data, (3) analyze data, and (4) interpret results/draw conclusions. This unit will build upon students’ understanding of statistical variability (quartiles, range, mean absolute deviation*(MAD), outliers) and their capacity to summarize and describe distributions (measure of center, shape) that were developed in middle school. They will now learn to give more precise answers to questions like deciding on which is the more appropriate measure of center, mean or median, and show their deeper understanding by justifying this choice using statistical reasoning. Two major shifts in focus and complexity from middle school to Algebra 2 are the ability to distinguish among distributions that were skewed or approximately symmetric to whether or not they are approximately normal as well as building on their understanding of MAD and applying it to the concept of standard deviation as a measure of variation. Students will study data sets with generally normal distributions. In a normal distribution, the relationship between the mean, median and the percentages within one, two and three standard deviations from the mean are key to calculating and interpreting data. For a normal data set, students should be able to sketch a graph of the data distribution given information about the measure of center and the distribution and the reverse, describe the measures of center and distribution given a graph. With respect to random sampling, students move beyond analyzing data, as they did in middle school, to making sound statistical decisions based on probability models. For example, students will apply their understanding of the mean and standard deviation of a data set to fit it to a normal distribution in order to estimate population percentages (S.ID.4). They will use their understanding of calculating margin of error in estimating a population quantity and extend it to the random assignment of treatments to available units in an experiment. Students will recognize the purposes of and differences among sample surveys, randomized experiments and observational studies as they make inferences and justify conclusions from real world contexts. *NOTE: The mean absolute deviation (MAD), also called the average deviation of a data set {x1, x2, ..., xn}, is the average of the absolute deviations and is an abstract statistic of statistical distribution or set of data. | There are standards listed in this section for two reasons. - The standards have been modified to be appropriate for this unit.

| What is the connection between exponential and logarithmic functions? What patterns of change are modeled by logarithmic functions as seen in real-world situations, and the tables, graphs, and functions rules that represent these situations? | | The study of exponential functions begins in grade 8 and is a key component of the Algebra I curriculum. In Algebra II, students use their understanding of exponential functions with the definition of inverse functions to explore logarithms. The concept of function inverses is linked to composition of functions. Introducing and using composition of functions in this unit provides the opportunity to verify whether one function is the inverse of another. Recognizing the inverse relationship between exponential and logarithmic functions will help students to understand the definition of a logarithm; to know and be able to use the properties of logarithms; to make graphical connections between the two functions; and to solve exponential equations not only by using graphs and tables, but also the properties of logarithms. Connections to real-world situations are found in looking at situations that use a logarithmic scale to report values such as the Richter scale, the pH scale and the measurement of sound intensity using a decibel scale. | There are standards listed in this section for two reasons. - The standards have been modified to be appropriate for this unit.

| How does understanding polynomial functions (and other function families) aid in making sense of rational functions? | | This unit introduces students to the family of rational functions by building on knowledge of linear, quadratic, and polynomial functions studied extensively in previous units. These familiar function families are used as expressions and combined using the four arithmetic operations in a way that is similar to how integers are combined to form rational numbers. This leads to a general form: f(x)=g(x)/h(x), where g(x) and h(x) are polynomial functions. The study of rational functions also creates opportunities for students to engage with beginning concepts of limits, that will be studied in future courses, as they examine the end behavior and behavior near asymptotes. Because of the content and algebraic complexity in this unit, technology plays a vital role in allowing students to investigate key features of rational functions and the relationships between representations. Technology opens access to concepts early in the learning trajectory and facilitates problem solving allowing more students to make connections and reason about this new function family. For example, technology allows students to efficiently create and move between various representations in a fraction of the time it would take to generate the representations with paper and pencil. The development of a deep understanding of function classes and their characteristics as called for in the CCSS-M's function domain requires the effective use of technology in teaching and learning. In a functions-based approach to algebra, each family begins with a parent function, in this case f(x)=1/x, that can be transformed into other members of the function family by "replacing f(x) by f(x)+k, kf(x), f(kx), and f(x+k) for specific values of k (both positive and negative)" (CCSS-M, HSF-BF.B.3) In the case of rational functions, k may also take on the form of a polynomial function. Students should examine and discuss the effect of these changes (e.g. multiplying by a factor of 1/(1x+2) would, in effect, create another asymptote and change the end behavior in a similar way to that of a polynomial function moving from odd to even degree). These two algebraic forms of rational functions (i.e., the general form, f(x)=g(x)/h(x), and the parent function, f(x)=1/x) are useful in different situations. The general form is useful for many applications (e.g. forming a "rate" with two functions, one representing profit based on number of attendees for an event and one representing ticket price based on number of attendees, with the rate function representing profit per ticket) while the parent function is useful when examining ideas of transformation in the plane, and algebraic relationships between different rational functions. Students should experience both during this unit and be provided with multiple opportunities to use and make connections among graphic, tabular, and symbolic representations of rational functions. In this unit, students also learn to operate on rational expressions and relate to experiences with rational operations. The analogous set of properties with rational numbers provides the rationale for the use of synthetic division and polynomial long division. Operations on rational expressions are presented as tools to better understand features and behaviors of rational functions (e.g. zeros, asymptotes, and end behaviors). Students should have experiences that drive home these ideas and foster both a need for and understandings of procedures. | There are standards listed in this section for two reasons. - The standards have been modified to be appropriate for this unit.

| How can algebraic and geometric ideas be used to explore and connect representations of quadratic relations from the conic sections? | | This unit is an extension of the Quadratic Units from Algebra 1. Students will build on prior experiences with quadratic functions (parabolas) graphing, factoring, completing the square, solving and transforming parabolas graphically and algebraically this time encountering equations with imaginary solutions (no real solutions) since not all solutions to quadratic equations are real numbers. Therefore, the study of complex numbers will be included in this unit. They will also explore quadratic relations, more commonly known as conic sections, by making connections between algebraic and geometric relationships.
Conic sections are all considered quadratic curves because the highest power of any variable is two. Slicing a double napped cone (two cones with a shared apex) with planes at various angles will yield a parabola, circle, ellipse, or hyperbola. Students explore the locus of points that determine the four conic sections and use the distance formula along with geometric descriptions to generate equations for each of the conic sections. Observing the equations (both standard and transformation form) and the resulting graphs should include identifying type of conic section shown and all of its special properties.

| How can the unit circle be used to develop a circular definition of trigonometric functions? | | Previous studies of trigonometry have included right triangle trigonometric relationships and the Laws of Sines and Cosines.

| How can the ideas of independence and conditional probability, along with expected value, be used to evaluate the outcomes of decisions in a variety of contexts? | | Although students have had informal experiences with probability in elementary school, their first formal introduction to the study of probability begins in seventh grade. Students conducted experiments or simulations and learned about calculating empirical (experimental) probabilities from their results. They made comparisons of empirical and theoretical probabilities and used theoretical probabilities to predict relative frequencies for a simple chance event. Students learned to set up probability models from a theoretical perspective (such as rolling two dice) or modeling a situation with or without technology and using the empirical data as an estimate of the theoretical outcomes. With compound events, students used tree diagrams, organized lists, or tables to generate the sample space for the event. They use the sample space to calculate the probability of a particular event occurring. At the high school level, students will extend their knowledge of probability and use their previous experience with simulations as a basis for more complicated ideas. Students will use their experience in making sample spaces in middle school and extend the use of these sample spaces to determine the probability of an event occurring to including the probability of event A and event B occurring, of event A or event B occurring; and the probability of an event not occurring. Students will study a variety of problems in order to develop an understanding of independent and dependent events. They learn that the second event has not been influenced by what occurred in the first event when the two events are independent. The idea of conditional probability, i.e. finding the probability of one event occurring given that another event has already occurred, is studied in this unit and can be used as another way to view independence. In terms of probability notation, conditional probability can be expressed as P (A/B) = P (A and B)/P (B). In determining independence of events A and B, when P (A/B) = P (A) and P (B/A) = P (B), then A and B are independent. Another way to determine independence is through the construction of a two-way frequency table, used when two categories are associated with each object being classified. After all of these calculations, it is important to be able to recognize and understand conditional probability and independence and be able to explain theses concepts in everyday language. Following exploring and understanding the ideas of conditional probability and independence, students are introduced to the rules of probability. These include the Addition Rule P (A or B) = P (A) + P (B) – P (A and B), and the Multiplication Rule P (A and B) = P (A) P (B/A). They should be able to use and interpret these rules. Additionally the use of permutations and combinations will help in determining probabilities and solving problems. Use of Pascal’s Triangle is particularly helpful in determining combinations. When using applications of probability to solve problems, often a numerical quantity is more useful than a description of possible outcomes. Graphing a probability distribution gives a different perspective. This is where the expected value is introduced and interpreted as the mean of the probability distribution. Students will develop a probability distribution from a sample space in which the probabilities were assigned either theoretically or empirically. They will then calculate the expected value. The use of expected values and probabilities are widely used to solve problems and evaluate decisions. Probabilities can be used to weigh decisions depending on the probability of outcomes. For example how much a company charges for an extended warranty depends on the cost of repairing or replacing an item and the probability that that item will fail. Games of chance depend on the ideas of expected value. Analyzing decisions and strategies involve probability concepts. Students should recognize the wide impact that probability can have on decisions they make. | There are standards listed in this section for two reasons. - The standards have been modified to be appropriate for this unit.

| How can matrices and vectors be used to solve problems in mathematics and other related fields? | | In this unit, students first use matrices as a way to organize and display data. After constructing matrices, students can then use the properties of matrices to analyze data and solve a variety of problems from different contexts. Students, without the use of technology, can attain understanding of basic matrix operations. However, one important use of matrices is to solve systems of equations. In doing this, the use of technology to find matrix inverses significantly simplifies the process. This can be accomplished by the use of a graphing calculator or computer software. Using matrices to solve systems of equations provides students tools to solve linear programming problem situations that can be very complex. Another important application for matrices is the representation of geometric shapes in matrix form. These matrix representations can be used in combination with matrices representing various transformations in the plane to show movement and animation of objects mathematically. Matrices are often used to solve problems involving vectors. Because students have studied matrices in this unit, it makes sense to include the study of vectors and using matrices to help solve these problems. Students should understand the components of vectors, how to add and subtract vectors, and how to multiply a vector by a scalar. Problems related to vectors are commonly used in solving physics problems. Although vectors are designated as STEM standards, it would be worthwhile for exposure and interdisciplinary cooperation to include vector problems in instruction. | There are standards listed in this section for two reasons. - The standards have been modified to be appropriate for this unit.
