Priority Standards
1) CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSA.APR.A.1
Understand that polynomials form a system analogous to the integers, namely, they are
closed under the operations of addition, subtraction, and multiplication; add, subtract, and
multiply polynomials.
2) CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSA.SSE.A.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).
3) CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSF.IF.C.8
Write a function defined by an expression in different but equivalent forms to reveal and
explain different properties of the function.
Supporting Standards
1) CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSA.SSE.B.3
Choose and produce an equivalent form of an expression to reveal and explain properties of
the quantity represented by the expression.*
2) CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSA.SSE.B.3.A
Factor a quadratic expression to reveal the zeros of the function it defines.
3) CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSF.IF.C.8
Write a function defined by an expression in different but equivalent forms to reveal and
explain different properties of the function.
4) CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSF.IF.C.8.A
Use the process of factoring and completing the square in a quadratic function to show
zeros, extreme values, and symmetry of the graph, and interpret these in terms of a context.
