Understand the definition of a
function including domain &
range. Use functional notation
and evaluate a function at a
given point in its domain.
9.2.1.1
Identify the vertex, line of
symmetry and intercepts of the
parabola corresponding to a
quadratic function, using
symbolic and graphical
methods, when the function is
expressed in the form f(x) = ax2
+ bx + c, in the form f(x) = a(x –
h)2 + k , or in factored form.


I can interpret the slope of a line in the context
of a problem.
Make qualitative statements
about the rate of change of a
function, based on its graph or
table of values. Special note,
MCA-II has many slope/rate of
change problems for linear
models.

not be applicable in the original context of the
problem.
Represent relationships in
various contexts using quadratic
equations and inequalities.
Solve quadratic equations and
inequalities by appropriate
methods including factoring,
completing the square, graphing
and the quadratic formula. Find
non-real complex roots when
they exist. Recognize that a
particular solution may not be
applicable in the original
context. Know how to use
calculators, graphing utilities or
other technology to solve
quadratic equations and
inequalities.


I can graph a system of linear inequalities.
I can identify the set of solutions in a system
of linear inequalities.
Represent relationships in
various contexts using systems
of linear inequalities; solve
them graphically. Indicate which
parts of the boundary are
included in and excluded from
the solution set using solid and
dotted lines.


I can calculate the mean for a data set.
I can find the five-number summary in a
numeric data set.
I can use the five-number summary to create a
box-and-whisker plot.
I can describe the effect of changes to the data
set (mean, median, range) if an outlier is
included or excluded from the data set
Describe a data set using data
displays, such as box-andwhisker plots; describe and
compare data sets using
summary statistics, including
measures of center, location
and spread. Measures of center
and location include mean,
median, quartile and percentile.
Measures of spread include
standard deviation, range and
inter-quartile range. Know how
to use calculators, spreadsheets
or other technology to display
data and calculate summary
