Mathematics Curriculum Supplement

Algebra II (S-ID.B.6a)

Algebra II / Mathematics
Highly-Leveraged Standard1
S-ID.B.6a Fit a function to the data; use functions fitted to data to solve problems in the context of the data. Use given functions or chooses a function suggested by the context. Emphasize linear, quadratic, and exponential models. «
Student Learning Targets:
Students will be able to:
·  describe the relationship between two variables in a scatterplot.
·  use a function to solve problems in the context of the data.
·  represent data on a scatterplot.
·  create a linear, quadratic, or exponential function to model the relationship between two variables.

The Minimally Proficient student / The Partially Proficient student / The Proficient student / The Highly Proficient student
Algebra
S-ID.B [6a] / Creates a scatter plot of bivariate data. / Determines if a plotted data set is approximately linear. / Creates a scatter plot of bivariate data and estimates an exponential (with domains not in the integers) or trigonometric function that fits the data. Uses this function to solve problems in the context of the data. / Compares the fit of different functions to data and determines which function has the best fit.

1Highly-Leveraged Standards are the most essential for students to learn because they have endurance, leverage and essentiality. This definition for highly-leveraged standards was adapted from the website of Millis Public Schools, K-12, in Massachusetts, USA. http://www.millis.k12.ma.us/services/curriculum_assessment/brochures

Specifically for mathematics, the Highly-Leveraged Standards are the Major Content/Clusters as defined by the AZCCRS Grade Level Focus documents. They should encompass a range of at least 65%-75% for Major Content/Clusters and a range of 25%-35% for Supporting Cluster Instruction.
