● Math High School: Number and Quantity
● HSN.CN.1 Know there is a complex number i such that i2 = -1, and every complex number has the form a + bi with a and b real.
● HSN.CN.2 Use the relation i2 = -1 and the commutative, associative, and distributive properties to add, subtract, and multiply complex numbers.
● HSN.CN.3 (+) Find the conjugate of a complex number, use conjugates to find moduli and quotients of complex numbers.
● HSN.CN.7 Solve quadratic equations with real coefficients that have complex solutions.
● HSN.CN.9 (+) Know the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, show that it is true for quadratic polynomials.
● Math High School: Algebra
● HSA.SSE.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).
● HSA.SSE.3a Factor a quadratic expression to reveal the zeros of the function it defines.
● HSA.SSE.3b Complete the square in a quadratic expression to reveal the maximum or minimum value of the function it defines.
● HSA.SSE.3c Use the properties of exponents to transform expressions for exponential functions.
● For example the expression 1.15t can be rewritten as (1.151/12)12t 8776, 1.01212t to reveal the approximate equivalent monthly interest rate if the annual rate is 15%%.
● HSA.APR.2 Know and apply the Remainder Theorem: For a polynomial p(x) and a number a, the remainder on division by x - a is p(a), so p(a) = 0 if and only if (x - a) is a factor of p (x).
● HSA.APR.3 Identify zeros of polynomials when suitable factorizations are available, and use the zeros to construct a rough graph of the function defined by the polynomial.
● HSA.CED.2 Create equations in two or more variables to represent relationships between quantities, graph equations on coordinate axes with labels and scales.
● HSA.CED.3 Represent constraints by equations or inequalities, and by systems of equations and/or inequalities, and interpret solutions as viable or nonviable options in a modeling context.
● For example, represent inequalities describing nutritional and cost constraints on combinations of different foods.
● HSA.REI.4a Use the method of completing the square to transform any quadratic equation in x into an equation of the form (x - p)2 = q that has the same solutions.
● Derive the quadratic formula from this form.
● HSA.REI.4b Solve quadratic equations by inspection (e.g., for x2 = 49), taking square roots, completing the square, the quadratic formula and factoring, as appropriate to the initial form of the equation.
● Recognize when the quadratic formula gives complex solutions and write them as a 177, bi for real numbers a and b.
● Math High School: Functions
● HSF.IF.2 Use function notation, evaluate functions for inputs in their domains, and interpret statements that use function notation in terms of a context.
● HSF.IF.3 Recognize that sequences are functions, sometimes defined recursively, whose domain is a subset of the integers.
● For example, the Fibonacci sequence is defined recursively by 131,(0) = 131,(1) = 1, 131,(n+1) = 131,(n) + 131,(n-1) for n 8805, 1.
● HSF.IF.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.
● Key features include: intercepts, intervals where the function is increasing, decreasing, positive, or negative, relative maximums and minimums, symmetries, end behavior, and periodicity.
● HSF.IF.5 Relate the domain of a function to its graph and, where applicable, to the quantitative relationship it describes.
● For example, if the function h(n) gives the number of person-hours it takes to assemble n engines in a factory, then the positive integers would be an appropriate domain for the function.
● HSF.IF.7a Graph linear and quadratic functions and show intercepts, maxima, and minima.
● HSF.IF.7b Graph square root, cube root, and piecewise-defined functions, including step functions and absolute value functions.
● HSF.IF.7c Graph polynomial functions, identifying zeros when suitable factorizations are available, and showing end behavior.
● HSF.IF.7d (+) Graph rational functions, identifying zeros and asymptotes when suitable factorizations are available, and showing end behavior.
● HSF.IF.7e Graph exponential and logarithmic functions, showing intercepts and end behavior, and trigonometric functions, showing period, midline, and amplitude.
● HSF.IF.8a 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.
● HSF.IF.8b Use the properties of exponents to interpret expressions for exponential functions.
● For example, identify percent rate of change in functions such as y = (1.02)t, y = (0.97)t, y = (1.01)12t, y = (1.2)t/10, and classify them as representing exponential growth or decay.
● HSF.BF.2 Write arithmetic and geometric sequences both recursively and with an explicit formula, use them to model situations, and translate between the two forms.
● HSF.BF.3 Identify the effect on the graph of replacing 131,(x) by 131,(x) + k, k 131,(x), 131,(kx), and 131, (x + k) for specific values of k (both positive and negative), find the value of k given the graphs.

● HSF.BF.4a Solve an equation of the form f(x) = c for a simple function f that has an inverse and write an expression for the inverse.
● For example, f(x) =2 x179, or f(x) = (x+1)/(x-1) for x 1.

● HSF.BF.4c (+) Read values of an inverse function from a graph or a table, given that the function has an inverse.

● HSF.TF.4 (+) Use the unit circle to explain symmetry (odd and even) and periodicity of trigonometric functions.
● Math High School: Geometry

● HSG.GPE.2 Derive the equation of a parabola given a focus and directrix.
● HSG.GPE.3 (+) Derive the equations of ellipses and hyperbolas given the foci, using the fact that the sum or difference of distances from the foci is constant.
● Math High School: Statistics and Probability
● HSS.ID.2 Use statistics appropriate to the shape of the data distribution to compare center (median, mean) and spread (interquartile range, standard deviation) of two or more different data sets.
● HSS.ID.4 Use the mean and standard deviation of a data set to fit it to a normal distribution and to estimate population percentages.
● Recognize that there are data sets for which such a procedure is not appropriate.
● Use calculators, spreadsheets, and tables to estimate areas under the normal curve.
● HSS.ID.6a Fit a function to the data, use functions fitted to data to solve problems in the context of the data.

● HSS.ID.9 Distinguish between correlation and causation.
● HSS.CP.1 Describe events as subsets of a sample space (the set of outcomes) using characteristics (or categories) of the outcomes, or as unions, intersections, or complements of other events (or, and, not).
● HSS.CP.2 Understand that two events A and B are independent if the probability of A and B occurring together is the product of their probabilities, and use this characterization to determine if they are independent.
● HSS.CP.3 Understand the conditional probability of A given B as P(A and B)/P(B), and interpret independence of A and B as saying that the conditional probability of A given B is the same as the probability of A, and the conditional probability of B given A is the same as the probability of B.
● HSS.CP.7 Apply the Addition Rule, P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B), and interpret the answer in terms of the model.
● HSS.CP.8 (+) Apply the general Multiplication Rule in a uniform probability model, P(A and B) = P(A)P(B A) = P(B)P(A B), and interpret the answer in terms of the model.
