Mathematical Practice

The Standards for Mathematical Practice describe varieties of


expertise that mathematics educators at all levels should seek
to develop in their students.

1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.


Show Details

2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. Show Details


3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of
others. Show Details
4. Model with mathematics. Show Details
5. Use appropriate tools strategically. Show Details

Interpreting Functions

F-IF Understand the concept of a function and use function


notation.
1. Understand that a function from one set (called the domain)
to another set (called the range) assigns to each element of the
domain exactly one element of the range. If f is a function and x
is an element of its domain, then f(x) denotes the output of f
corresponding to the input x. The graph of f is the graph of the
equation y = f(x).
2. Use function notation, evaluate functions for inputs in their
domains, and interpret statements that use function notation in
terms of a context.
3. Recognize that sequences are functions, sometimes defined
recursively, whose domain is a subset of the integers.

F-IF Interpret functions that arise in applications in terms of the


context.

4. For a function that models a relationship between two


quantities, interpret key features of graphs and tables in terms
of the quantities, and sketch graphs showing key features given
a verbal description of the relationship.
5. Relate the domain of a function to its graph and, where
applicable, to the quantitative relationship it describes.

F-IF Analyze functions using different representations.

7. Graph functions expressed symbolically and show key


features of the graph, by hand in simple cases and using
technology for more complicated cases.★
7a. Graph linear and quadratic functions and show intercepts,
maxima, and minima.
7b. Graph square root, cube root, and piecewise-defined
functions, including step functions and absolute value
functions.

7c. Graph polynomial functions, identifying zeros when suitable


factorizations are available, and showing end behavior.
9. Compare properties of two functions each represented in a
different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or
by verbal descriptions).

Building Functions

F-BF Build new functions from existing functions.

3. Identify the effect on the graph of replacing f(x) by f(x) + k, k


f(x), f(kx), and f(x + k) for specific values of k (both positive and
negative); find the value of k given the graphs. Experiment with
cases and illustrate an explanation of the effects on the graph
using technology. Include recognizing even and odd functions
from their graphs and algebraic expressions for them.

requires flour and sugar. You have a limited supply of both
and you need to maximize your profit. How would you decide
how many of each pastry to make?”

Teacher Notes and Reflections


Chapter 1 is moreover a review for grade 10 students, so some of the lessons could be taught in faster pace. In next session instead of
completing whole chapter in 5 weeks it could be done in 4 weeks easily.

Chapter 2:
- Lesson 2-7 doesn't seem necessary. It only looks at reading intercepts and zeros off the graph, both concepts are covered elsewhere in the
Algebra 2 course in more detail with better methods.
