Trousdale County Schools Focused Lesson Plan 2015-16
Teacher: SEden
Unit Name: Polynomials/Functions
Unit #:1
Unit Length:
Week 2
Week ____ of ______
Subject: Algebra II / Integrated II
Tennessee State Standard(s) to be taught: (Write the entire standard)
(A-SSE) Interpret the structure of expressions
2. Use the structure of an expression to identify ways to rewrite it. For example, see
x4 – y4 as (x2) 2 – (y2) 2, thus recognizing it as a difference of squares that can be
factored as (x2 – y2)(x2 + y2).
(A-APR) Use polynomial identities to solve problems
4. Prove polynomial identities and use them to describe numerical relationships. For
example, the polynomial identity (x2 + y2) 2 = (x2 – y2) 2 + (2xy) 2 can be used to
generate Pythagorean triples.
1. Write a function that describes a relationship between two quantities.★
a. Determine an explicit expression, a recursive process, or steps for calculation from
a context.
b. Combine standard function types using arithmetic operations. For example, build a
function that models the temperature of a cooling body by adding a constant function
to a decaying exponential, and relate these functions to the model.
Graph functions expressed symbolically and show key features of the graph, by hand in
simple cases and using technology for more complicated cases.★ Graph square root, cube
root, and piecewise-defined functions, including step functions and absolute value functions.
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
