COURSE NAME: Algebra 2 First Unit: Algebra 2 IM1: Sequences and Functions Est. Time: 5 Weeks (11 Lessons, meets every other day) OVERVIEW In this unit, students will continue to examine functions from Algebra I by extending into geometric and arithmetic sequences which reinforces the concepts of exponential and linear functions.
STAGE 1 → IDENTIFY DESIRED RESULTS ESTABLISHED GOALS CSDE Content Standards: HSF-IF.A: Understand the concept of a function and use function notation. HSF-IF.C: Analyze functions using different representations.
TRANSFER ●
CRITICAL THINKING: Demonstrate flexibility and determination when solving problems. MP #1: Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. MP #4: Model with mathematics. MP #8: Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
UNDERSTANDINGS ●
Modeling of real-world scenarios, with the use of sequences, allows for predictions to be made in the past or in the future.
●
Different situations are modeled better by arithmetic or geometric sequences.
KNOWLEDGE
ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS ●
What is a function and how are functions defined to model and predict behavior of real- world scenarios?
SKILLS (framed as Learning Targets) 1. I can determine if a situation should be represented by an arithmetic or geometric sequence.
How to construct the model of a sequence so that predictions can be made by evaluating the sequence.
9-12 Mathematics Curriculum
2. I can create arithmetic and geometric sequences recursively using function notation.
