Beat Ratios and
Juggling Proportions
Students use ratios and proportions to describe
juggling, musical tempos, and scheduling
problems.
|
Functions
Students learn the notation, concepts, and
operations of functions, including transformations
and inverses.
|
Exponential Growth
and Decay
Students learn the distinguishing characteristics
of exponential growth. They explore these in a
variety of representations and problem
situations.
|
|
Data &
Graphs
Students gather and analyze data from the fast food
industry. They organize and describe these data in
order to make and support decisions.
|
Representing
Data
Students represent information in a variety of
meaningful ways with appropriate justification.
|
Finance
Students explore the mathematics of finance
including interest, amortization, annuities, credit
cards and lottery pay-offs.
|
|
Geometry
Students use the Earth in order to explore and
create visual models. Students define, measure, and
work with the properties of one, two, and three
dimensional objects.
|
Sampling
Students investigate a variety of sampling schemes
and historically significant data sets. They
develop and apply sampling procedures to political
surveys, manufacturing quality control, and life
sciences.
|
Non-linear
Behavior
Students solve equations, interpret graphs, and
utilize the fundamental concepts of functions with
a variety on non-linear functions.
|
|
Linear
Behavior
Students develop the tools to plot a data set,
determine whether a linear relationship exists, and
if so, describe it verbally, algebraically, and
graphically.
|
Sets and
Logic
Students apply the rules of logic to solve problems
in narrative, graphical, and numerical form. They
develop critical thinking skills to solve problems
in elementary set theory, survey analysis,
probability, and database retrieval.
|
Patterns
Students recognize and describe visual, numeric,
geometric, and recursive patterns using appropriate
language and notation.
|
|
Probability
Students read, interpret, and calculate
probabilities from frequency tables, pie charts,
and experimental data. They communicate
results using the language of probability.
|
Systems
Students use symbolic, graphical, numeric and
verbal representations of linear growth to solve
problems in population growth and equilibrium
analysis.
|
Right Triangle
Trigonometry
Students use a variety of measuring instruments to
determine the measures of angles and distances.
Students apply right triangle models to
construction, astronomy, and other areas.
