STAGE I – DESIRED RESULTS
Lesson Topic (Modules, if applicable):
Prerequisites
Big Ideas:
CC.2.1.HS.F.1
Apply and extend the properties of exponents to
solve problems with rational exponents.
CC.2.2.HS.D.2
Write expressions in equivalent forms to solve
problems.
Understanding Goals (Concepts):
Algebraic properties, processes and
representations and quadratic and polynomial
functions and equations:
 Laws of Exponents
 Factoring
 Common Denominators
 Solving Equations
CC.2.2.HS.D.3
Extend the knowledge of arithmetic operations and
apply to polynomials.
CC.2.2.HS.D.4
Understand the relationship between zeros and
factors of polynomials to make generalizations
about functions and their graphs.
CC.2.2.HS.D.5
Use polynomial identities to solve problems.
Student Objectives (Competencies/Outcomes):
Extend algebraic properties and processes to
quadratic, exponential, and polynomial expressions
and equations and to matrices, and apply them to
solve real world problems.
Represent a quadratic and polynomial function in
multiple ways, including tab les , graphs, equations,
and contextual situations, and make connections
among representations; relate the solution of the
associated quadratic equation to each
representation.
 Convert Between Standard and Exponential
Essential Questions:
How can you extend algebraic properties and
processes to quadratic, exponential and polynomial
expressions and equations and then apply them to
solve real world problems?
Vocabulary:
