concepts to find common factors and multiples.
CC.2.1.HS.F.2 Apply properties of rational and
irrational numbers to solve real‐world or
mathematical problems.
CC.2.1.HS.F.1 Apply and extend the properties of
exponents to solve problems with rational
exponents.
CC.2.1.HS.F.2 Apply properties of rational and
irrational numbers to solve real‐world or
mathematical problems.
CC.2.2.8.B.1 Apply concepts of radicals and integer
exponents to generate equivalent expressions.
CC.2.2.7.B.3 Model and solve real‐world and
mathematical problems by using and connecting
numerical, algebraic, and/or graphical
representations.
CC.2.2.HS.D.9 Use reasoning to solve equations and
justify the solution method.

to represent a quantity in terms of its context.
CC.2.2.HS.D.2 Write expressions in equivalent
forms to solve problems.
CC.2.2.HS.D.3 Extend the knowledge of arithmetic
Understanding Goals (Concepts):
A1.1.1.1 Represent and/or use numbers
in equivalent forms (e.g., integers, fractions, decimals,
percents, square roots, and exponents).
A1.1.1.2 Apply number theory concepts to show
relationships between real numbers in problem‐
solving settings.
A1.1.1.3 Use exponents, roots, and/or absolute values
to solve problems.
A1.1.1.4 Use estimation strategies in problem‐solving
situations.
A1.1.1.5 Simplify expressions involving polynomials.
A1.1.2.1 Write, solve, and/or graph linear equations
using various methods.
A1.1.2.2 Write, solve, and/or graph systems of linear
equations using various methods.
operations and apply to polynomials.
CC.2.2.HS.D.5 Use polynomial identities to solve
problems.
CC.2.2.HS.D.6 Extend the knowledge of rational
functions to rewrite in equivalent forms.
Student Objectives (Competencies/Outcomes):
A1.1.1.1.1 Compare and/or order any real numbers.
Note: Rational and irrational may be mixed.
A1.1.1.1.2 Simplify square roots (e.g., √24 = 2√6).
A1.1.1.2.1 Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF)
and/or the Least Common Multiple (LCM) for sets of
monomials.
A1.1.1.3.1 Simplify/evaluate expressions involving
properties/laws of exponents, roots, and/or absolute
values to solve problems.
Note: Exponents should be integers from 1 to 10.
A1.1.1.4.1 Use estimation to solve problems.
A1.1.1.5.1 Add, subtract, and/or multiply polynomial
expressions (express answers in simplest form).
Note: Nothing larger than a binomial multiplied by a
trinomial.
A1.1.1.5.2 Factor algebraic expressions, including
difference of squares and trinomials. Note:
Trinomials are limited to the form ax2 + bx + c where
a is equal to 1 after factoring out all monomial
factors.
A1.1.1.5.3 Simplify/reduce a rational algebraic
expression.
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 is mathematics used to quantify, compare,
represent, and model numbers?
How are relationships represented mathematically?
What does it mean to estimate or analyze
numerical quantities?
How can expressions, equations, and inequalities
be used to quantify, solve, model, and/or analyze
mathematical situations?
What makes a tool and/or strategy appropriate for
a given task?
How can patterns be used to describe relationships
in mathematical situations?
How can recognizing repetition or regularity assist
in solving problems more efficiently?
