Implementing District Standards

In many permutation and combination calculations, there may be a need to consider the computational limitations of a calculator. With such cases, students would need to define appropriate quantities and levels of accuracy for their numerical answers. These standards are addressed in the Common Core High School Number and Quantity standards HSN.Q.A.2 and HSN.Q.A.3. The East Side Union High School District (ESUHSD) standards are based off of the Common Core State Standards. ESUHSD math standard N-Q-A, reason quantitatively and use units to solve problems, is addressed throughout the scenario and context based problems as described in the examples and problem sets above. The culminating project incorporates standards F-BF-A, building a function that models a relationship between two quantities, and F-IF-B, interpreting functions that arise in applications in terms of the context, by having students examine real-world problems.
