This document outlines a 13-week course in mathematics AI (SL). Over the course, students will cover topics including arithmetic and geometric sequences/series, logarithms, linear and nonlinear functions, and modeling with functions. They will learn to graph functions, find their key features, and model real-world scenarios. Students will be assessed at the end of term to evaluate their understanding of the material.

Axis of symmetry, vertex, zeros and roots, intercepts on the -axis and -axis. ● Exponential growth and decay models. ● Equation of a horizontal asymptote. ● Direct/inverse variation: ● The -axis as a vertical asymptote ● Cubic models: ● Sinusoidal models: Week 11 ● Modeling skills: ● Use the modeling process described in the “mathematical modeling” section to create, fit and use the theoretical models in section SL2.5 and their graphs. ● Develop and fit the model: ● Given a context, recognize and choose an appropriate model and possible parameters. ● Determine a reasonable domain for a model. ● Find the parameters of a model.
Week 12 ● Test and reflect upon the model:
● Comment on the appropriateness and reasonableness of a model. ● Justify the choice of a particular model, based on the shape of the data, properties of the curve and/or on the context of the situation. ● Use the model: ● Reading, interpreting and making predictions based on the model.
Week 13 ● Assessments and revision of the work done during the term .
