Big Ideas:
KEYSTONE ANCHORS:



A2.1.1.1 Represent and/or use imaginary
numbers in equivalent forms (e.g., square
roots and exponents).
A2.1.2.1 Use exponents, roots, and/or
absolute values to represent equivalent
forms or to solve problems.
A2.1.2.2 Simplify expressions involving
polynomials.
ELIBIBLE CONTENT:
 M11.D.2.2.1 Add, subtract and/or
multiply polynomial expressions (express
answers in simplest form – nothing larger
than a binomial X a trinomial).
 M11.D.2.2.1 Express numbers and/or
simplify expressions using scientific
notation (including numbers less than 1).
 M.11.A.1.2.1 Factor algebraic expressions,
including difference of squares and
trinomials (trinomials limited to the form
ax2+bx+c where a is not equal to 0).
 M.111.A.1.2.2 Find the Greatest Common
Factor (GCF) for sets of monomials and/or
factor polynomial expressions using the
greatest common monomial factor.
 M.11.A.1.2.3 Simplify algebraic fractions
 M11.A.2.2.2 Simplify expressions involving
multiplying with exponents, powers of
powers, and powers of products (postive
exponents only).
Understanding Goals (Concepts):
Functions and multiple representations
Algebraic properties and processes
 Express numbers in scientific notation
 Apply the laws of exponents to simplify
expressions
 Add, subtract, multiply, and divide
polynomials
 Factor polynomials using various
factoring techniques, including
 Finding Greatest Common Factor
 Difference of Two Squares
 Sum and Difference of Two Cubes
 Perfect Square Trinomials
 General Trinomials
 Factoring by grouping
Student Objectives (Competencies/Outcomes):
Students will be able to:
 Represent functions (linear and non-linear)
in multiple ways, including tables, algebraic
rules, graphs, and contextual situations
 Make connections among these
representations.
 Choose the appropriate functional
representation to model a real world
situation
 Solve problems relating to that situation.
 Use algebraic properties and processes in
mathematical situations and apply them to
solve real world problems.
Essential Questions:
 How can we show that algebraic properties
and processes are extensions of arithmetic
properties and processes, and how can we
use algebraic properties and processes to
solve problems?
 How do you decide which functional
representation to choose when modeling a
real world situation, and how would you
explain your solution to the problem?
Vocabulary:
 monomial
 constant
 coefficient
 degree
 power
 standard notation
 scientific notation
 Polynomial
 Terms
 like terms
 trinomial
 binomial
 Factor, greatest common factor
