Expectations Description

Mathematical Models All students should be able to use mathematical models to represent and understand quantitative relationships:
Identify essential quantitative relationships in a situation and determine the class or classes of functions that might model the relationship.

Use symbolic expressions, including iterative and recursive forms, to represent relationships arising from various contexts.

Draw reasonable conclusions about a situation being modeled.

Analysis and Change All students should be able to:
Analyze change in variable contexts.

Approximate and interpret rates of change from graphical and numerical data.

Problem Solving All students should be able to solve real world problems:
Build new mathematical knowledge through problem solving.

Solve problems that arise in mathematics and in other contexts.

Apply and adapt a variety of appropriate strategies to solve problems.

Monitor and reflect on the process of mathematical problem solving.
