Published September 2014

Tools for this Unit:

Appendix A

Implementing State Standards

Number and Quantity

Quantities (NQ-Q) (1, 2, 3): Reason quantitatively and use units to solve problems. [Foundation for work with expressions, equations, and functions]

Algebra

Creating Equations (A-CE) (1): Create equations that describe numbers or relationships

Functions

Interpreting Functions (F-IF) (6, 7, and 9): Interpret functions that arise in applications in terms of the context.

Building Functions (F-BF) (1): Build a function that models a relationship between two quantities.

Statistics and Probability

Interpreting Categorical and Quantitative Data (S-ID) (7): Interpret linear models.

Common Core State Standards for Mathematical Practice

  1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them
  2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively
  3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others
  4. Model with mathematics
  5. Use appropriate tools strategically
  6. Attend to precision
  7. Look for and make use of structure
  8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning
