Unit 10: Mortgages 4x4 3 weeks Trad 6 weeks 4 th Quarter example, build a function that models the temperature of a cooling body by adding a constant function to a decaying exponential, & relate these functions to the model. Compose functions. For example, if T(y) is the temperature in the atmosphere as a function of height, & h(t) is the height of a weather balloon as a function of time, then T(h(t)) is the temperature at the location of the weather balloon as a function of time. MACC.912.F-BF.1.2: Write arithmetic & geometric sequences both recursively & with an explicit formula, use them to model situations, & translate between the two forms MACC.912.A-SSE.1.1: Interpret expressions that represent a quantity in terms of its context. a. Interpret parts of an expression, such as terms, factors, & coefficients. b. Interpret complicated expressions by viewing one or more of their parts as a single entity. For example, interpret as the product of P & a factor not depending on P.
Supporting Common Core Standards MACC.K12.MP.1.1: Make sense of problems & persevere in solving them. Mathematically proficient students start by explaining to themselves the meaning of a problem & looking for entry points to its solution. They analyze givens, constraints, relationships, & goals. They make conjectures about the form & meaning of the solution & plan a solution pathway rather than simply jumping into a solution attempt. They consider analogous problems, & try special cases & simpler forms of the original problem in order to gain insight into its solution. They monitor & evaluate their progress & change course if necessary. Older students might, depending on the context of the problem, transform algebraic expressions or change the viewing window on their graphing calculator to get the information they need. Mathematically proficient students can explain correspondences between equations, verbal descriptions, tables, & graphs or draw diagrams of important features & relationships, graph data, & search for regularity or trends. Younger students might rely on using concrete objects or pictures to help conceptualize & solve a problem. Mathematically proficient students check their answers to problems using a different method, & they continually ask themselves, Does this make sense? They can understand the approaches of others to solving complex problems & identify correspondences between different approaches. MACC.K12.MP.2.1: Reason abstractly & quantitatively. Mathematically proficient students make sense of quantities & their relationships in problem situations. They bring two complementary abilities to bear on problems involving quantitative relationships: the ability to decontextualize to abstract a given situation & represent it symbolically & manipulate the representing symbols as if they have a life of their own, without necessarily attending to their referents & the ability to contextualize, to pause as needed during the manipulation process in order to probe into the referents for the symbols involved. Quantitative reasoning entails habits of creating a coherent representation of the problem at h&; considering the units involved; attending to the meaning of quantities, not just how to compute them; & knowing & flexibly using different properties of operations & objects. MACC.K12.MP.3.1: Construct viable arguments & critique the reasoning of others. Mathematically proficient students understand & use stated assumptions, definitions, & previously established results in constructing arguments. They make conjectures & build a logical progression of statements to explore the truth of their conjectures. They are able to analyze situations by breaking them into cases, & can recognize & use counterexamples. They justify their conclusions, communicate them to others, & respond to the arguments of others. They reason inductively about data, making plausible arguments that take into account the context from which the data arose. Mathematically proficient students are also able to compare the effectiveness of two plausible arguments, distinguish correct logic or reasoning from that which is flawed, & if there is a flaw in an argument explain what it is. Elementary students can construct arguments using concrete referents such as objects, drawings, diagrams, & actions. Such arguments can make sense & be correct, even though they are not generalized or made formal until later grades. Later, students learn to determine domains to which an argument applies. Students at all grades can listen or read the arguments of others, decide whether they make sense, & ask useful questions to clarify or improve the arguments. MACC.K12.MP.4.1: Model with mathematics. Mathematically proficient students can apply the mathematics they know to solve problems arising in everyday life, society, & the workplace. In early grades, this might be as simple as writing an addition equation to describe a situation. In middle grades, a student might apply proportional reasoning to plan a school event or analyze a problem in the community. By high school, a student might use geometry to solve a design problem or use a function to describe how one quantity of interest depends on another. Mathematically proficient students who can apply what they know are comfortable making assumptions & approximations to simplify a complicated situation, realizing that these may need revision later. They are able to identify important quantities in a practical situation & map their relationships using such tools as diagrams, two-way tables, graphs, flowcharts & formulas. They can analyze those relationships mathematically to draw conclusions. They routinely interpret their mathematical results in the context of the situation & reflect on whether the results make sense, possibly improving the model if it has not served its purpose. MACC.K12.MP.5.1: Use appropriate tools strategically.
Supporting Common Core Standards Mathematically proficient students consider the available tools when solving a mathematical problem. These tools might include pencil & paper, concrete models, a ruler, a protractor, a calculator, a spreadsheet, a computer algebra system, a statistical package, or dynamic geometry software. Proficient students are sufficiently familiar with tools appropriate for their grade or course to make sound decisions about when each of these tools might be helpful, recognizing both the insight to be gained & their limitations. For example, mathematically proficient high school students analyze graphs of functions & solutions generated using a graphing calculator. They detect possible errors by strategically using estimation & other mathematical knowledge. When making mathematical models, they know that technology can enable them to visualize the results of varying assumptions, explore consequences, & compare predictions with data. Mathematically proficient students at various grade levels are able to identify relevant external mathematical resources, such as digital content located on a website, & use them to pose or solve problems. They are able to use technological tools to explore & deepen their understanding of concepts. MACC.K12.MP.6.1: Attend to precision. Mathematically proficient students try to communicate precisely to others. They try to use clear definitions in discussion with others & in their own reasoning. They state the meaning of the symbols they choose, including using the equal sign consistently & appropriately. They are careful about specifying units of measure, & labeling axes to clarify the correspondence with quantities in a problem. They calculate accurately & efficiently, express numerical answers with a degree of precision appropriate for the problem context. In the elementary grades, students give carefully formulated explanations to each other. By the time they reach high school they have learned to examine claims & make explicit use of definitions. MACC.K12.MP.7.1: Look for & make use of structure. Mathematically proficient students look closely to discern a pattern or structure. Young students, for example, might notice that three & seven more is the same amount as seven & three more, or they may sort a collection of shapes according to how many sides the shapes have. Later, students will see 7 8 equals the well-remembered 7 5 + 7 3, in preparation for learning about the distributive property. In the expression x² + 9x + 14, older students can see the 14 as 2 7 & the 9 as 2 + 7. They recognize the significance of an existing line in a geometric figure & can use the strategy of drawing an auxiliary line for solving problems. They also can step back for an overview & shift perspective. They can see complicated things, such as some algebraic expressions, as single objects or as being composed of several objects. For example, they can see 5 3(x y)² as 5 minus a positive number times a square & use that to realize that its value cannot be more than 5 for any real numbers x & y. MACC.K12.MP.8.1: Look for & express regularity in repeated reasoning. Mathematically proficient students notice if calculations are repeated, & look both for general methods & for shortcuts. Upper elementary students might notice when dividing 25 by 11 that they are repeating the same calculations over & over again, & conclude they have a repeating decimal. By paying attention to the calculation of slope as they repeatedly check whether points are on the line through (1, 2) with slope 3, middle school students might abstract the equation (y 2)/(x 1) = 3. Noticing the regularity in the way terms cancel when exp&ing (x 1)(x + 1), (x 1)(x² + x + 1), & (x 1)(x³ + x² + x + 1) might lead them to the general formula for the sum of a geometric series. As they work to solve a problem, mathematically proficient students maintain oversight of the process, while attending to the details. They continually evaluate the reasonableness of their intermediate results. LACC.910.RST.1.3: Follow precisely a complex multistep procedure when carrying out experiments, taking measurements, or performing technical tasks, attending to special cases or exceptions defined in the text. LACC.910.RST.2.4: Determine the meaning of symbols, key terms, & other domain-specific words & phrases as they are used in a specific scientific or technical context relevant to grades 9 10 texts & topics.
