Outcomes

A1.N.Q.A.1

Use units as a way to understand real-world problems.*

A1.N.Q.A.1.A

Choose and interpret the scale and the origin in graphs and data displays.*

A1.A.REI.D.5

Understand that the graph of an equation in two variables is the set of all its solutions plotted in the coordinate plane, often forming a curve (which could be a line).

A1.F.IF.B.4

For a function that models a relationship between two quantities, interpret key features of graphs and tables in terms of the quantities, and sketch graphs showing key features given a verbal description of the relationship.*

A1.F.IF.B.5

Relate the domain of a function to its graph and, where applicable, to the context of the function it models. *

A1.F.IF.B.6

Calculate and interpret the average rate of change of a function (presented symbolically or as a table) over a specified interval. Estimate and interpret the rate of change from a graph.*

A1.F.IF.C.7

Graph functions expressed algebraically and show key features of the graph by hand and using technology.*

A1.F.IF.C.9

Compare properties of functions represented algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions.*
