RQ.M.A1HS.4: : Interpret expressions that represent a quantity in terms of its context.

RQ.M.A1HS.4.a: : Interpret parts of an expression, such as terms, factors, and coefficients.

RQ.M.A1HS.4.b: : Interpret complicated expressions by viewing one or more of their parts as a single entity. (e.g., Interpret P(1 + r)ⁿ as the product of P and a factor not depending on P.

(Framing Text): : Create equations that describe numbers or relationships.

RQ.M.A1HS.5: : Create equations and inequalities in one variable and use them to solve problems. Include equations arising from linear and quadratic functions, and simple rational and exponential functions.

RQ.M.A1HS.7: : Represent constraints by equations or inequalities, and by systems of equations and/or inequalities, and interpret solutions as viable or non-viable options in a modeling context. (e.g., Represent inequalities describing nutritional and cost constraints on combinations of different foods.)

RQ.M.A1HS.8: : Rearrange formulas to highlight a quantity of interest, using the same reasoning as in solving equations. (e.g., Rearrange Ohm’s law V = IR to highlight resistance R.)

(Framing Text): : Understand solving equations as a process of reasoning and explain the reasoning.

RQ.M.A1HS.9: : Explain each step in solving a simple equation as following from the equality of numbers asserted at the previous step, starting from the assumption that the original equation has a solution. Construct a viable argument to justify a solution method.

(Framing Text): : Solve equations and inequalities in one variable.

LER: : Linear and Exponential Relationships

(Framing Text): : Extend the properties of exponents to rational exponents.

LER.M.A1HS.11: : Explain how the definition of the meaning of rational exponents follows from extending the properties of integer exponents to those values, allowing for a notation for radicals in terms of rational exponents. (e.g., We define 5¹/³ to be the cube root of 5 because we want (5¹/³)³ = 5(¹/³)³ to hold, so (5¹/³)³ must equal 5.)

(Framing Text): : Solve systems of equations.

LER.M.A1HS.13: : Prove that, given a system of two equations in two variables, replacing one equation by the sum of that equation and a multiple of the other produces a system with the same solutions.

LER.M.A1HS.14: : Solve systems of linear equations exactly and approximately (e.g., with graphs), focusing on pairs of linear equations in two variables.

(Framing Text): : Represent and solve equations and inequalities graphically.

LER.M.A1HS.15: : Recognize that the graph of an equation in two variables is the set of all its solutions plotted in the coordinate plane, often forming a curve (which could be a line).

LER.M.A1HS.16: : Explain why the x-coordinates of the points where the graphs of the equations y = f(x) and y = g(x) intersect are the solutions of the equation f(x) = g(x); find the solutions approximately (e.g., using technology to graph the functions, make tables of values or find successive approximations). Include cases where f(x) and/or g(x) are linear, polynomial, rational, absolute value, exponential and logarithmic functions.

LER.M.A1HS.17: : Graph the solutions to a linear inequality in two variables as a half-plane (excluding the boundary in the case of a strict inequality), and graph the solution set to a system of linear inequalities in two variables as the intersection of the corresponding half-planes.

(Framing Text): : Understand the concept of a function and use function notation.

LER.M.A1HS.18: : Recognize 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).

LER.M.A1HS.19: : Use function notation, evaluate functions for inputs in their domains and interpret statements that use function notation in terms of a context.

LER.M.A1HS.20: : Recognize that sequences are functions, sometimes defined recursively, whose domain is a subset of the integers. (e.g., The Fibonacci sequence is defined recursively by f(0) = f(1) = 1, f(n+1) = f(n)+ f(n-1) for n ≥ 1.

(Framing Text): : Interpret functions that arise in applications in terms of a context.

LER.M.A1HS.21: : 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.

LER.M.A1HS.22: : Relate the domain of a function to its graph and where applicable, to the quantitative relationship it describes. (e.g., If the function h(n) gives the number of person-hours it takes to assemble n engines in a factory, then the positive integers would be an appropriate domain for the function.)

LER.M.A1HS.23: : Calculate and interpret the average rate of change of a function (presented symbolically or as a table) over a specified interval. Estimate the rate of change from a graph.

(Framing Text): : Analyze functions using different representations.

LER.M.A1HS.24.b: : Graph exponential and logarithmic functions, showing intercepts and end behavior and trigonometric functions, showing period, midline and amplitude.

LER.M.A1HS.25: : Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions). (e.g., Given a graph of one quadratic function and an algebraic expression for another, say which has the larger maximum.)

LER.M.A1HS.27: : Write arithmetic and geometric sequences both recursively and with an explicit formula, use them to model situations, and translate between the two forms.

LER.M.A1HS.28: : 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.

(Framing Text): : Construct and compare linear, quadratic, and exponential models and solve problems.

LER.M.A1HS.29: : Distinguish between situations that can be modeled with linear functions and with exponential functions.
