Appendix
District Academic Standards
The unit will address the following focus standards and supporting standards for Math 1, as well as standards from the Integrated Math 2 course.
ESUHSD Curriculum Unit Focus Standards
Focus standards for this lesson include the following:
F-LEA: Construct and compare linear, quadratic, and exponential models and solve problems
ESUHSD Curriculum Unit Supporting Standards
F-IF-A: Understand the concept of a function and use function notation
F-IF-B: Interpret functions that arise in applications in terms of the context
F-IF-C: Analyze functions using different representations
F-BD-A: Build a function that models a relationship between two quantities (linear & exponential)
Students will be able to understand the use of variables, inequalities, linear equations, and linear inequalities given a story context and use units as a tool for understanding problems.
I also see the content of this unit being applied to my Math Analysis course, as the first three chapters are devoted to developing the idea of a function and study of polynomial and exponential functions. With a stronger understanding of what is a function and how to analyze polynomials, the students will be better prepared for AP Calculus and AP Statistics.
