Description
The second half of a modern high school algebra sequence with a focus in seven major topics: transition from arithmetic to algebra, solving equations & inequalities, probability and statistics, proportional reasoning, linear equations and functions, systems of linear equations and inequalities, and operations on polynomials. High school students enrolled in this course must take the WA State End of Course Assessment. Prerequisite: Attempted Algebra 1-2, earned .5 high school credit of Algebra 1, or HSC060; must be a student working toward a high school diploma. |
Intended Learning Outcomes
Represent a quadratic function with a symbolic expression, as a graph, in a table, and with a description, and make connections among the representations
Sketch the graph of a quadratic function, describe the effects that changes in the parameters have on the graph, and interpret the x-intercepts as solutions to a quadratic equation
Solve quadratic equations that can be factored as (ax + b)(cx +d) where a, b, c, and d are integers
Solve quadratic equations that have real roots by completing the square and by using the quadratic formula
Use and evaluate the accuracy of summary statistics to describe and compare data sets
Make valid inferences and draw conclusions based on data
Describe how linear transformations affect the center and spread of univariate data
Find the equation of a linear function that best fits bivariate data that are linearly related, interpret the slope and y-intercept of the line, and use the equation to make predictions
Describe the correlation of data in scatterplots in terms of strong or weak and positive or negative
Find and approximate solutions to exponential equations
Express arithmetic and geometric sequences in both explicit and recursive forms, translate between the two forms, explain how rate of change is represented in each form, and use the forms to find specific terms in the sequence
Solve an equation involving several variables by expressing one variable in terms of the others
Analyze a problem situation and represent it mathematically
Read and interpret diagrams, graphs, and text containing the symbols, language, and conventions of mathematics
Use inductive reasoning about algebra and the properties of numbers to make conjectures, and use deductive reasoning to prove or disprove conjectures
