problems (without making sure the students
understand why they work).
Not giving students an adequate amount of
think time to come up with solutions or
processes to solve a problem.

intervals where the function is increasing, decreasing, positive, or negative; relative
maximums and minimums; symmetries; end behavior; and periodicity.*
F – IF 5*: Relate the domain of a function to its graph and, where applicable, to the

Dilations
A dilation is a transformation that produces an image that is the same shape as the original, but is a
different size. A dilation used to create an image larger than the original is called an enlargement. A
dilation used to create an image smaller than the original is called a reduction.
The website for the Topic index for dilations at Regents Prep is sited below. It includes lessons, practice

Similarity
Similar polygons are two polygons with congruent corresponding angles and proportional corresponding
sides. If the cross product is equal, then the corresponding sides are proportional. Similarity of polygons
can be proven in three different ways: Angle-Angle Similarity, Side-Side-Side Similarity, and Side-AngleSide Similarity. A-A Similarity is used when two pairs of corresponding angles are congruent. S-S-S
Similarity is used when all three pairs of corresponding sides are proportional. S-A-S Similarity is used
when two pairs of corresponding sides are proportional and their included angles are congruent.

The scale factor is the ratio of lengths of two corresponding sides of similar polygons. The phrase “scale
factor” is used in different ways.
Example1:
If the length of a side of Square A is 4 and the length of a side of Square B is 7, then the scale factor of
Square A to Square B is 4/7.
Example2:
If the length of a side of Square A is 4 and Square A is enlarged by a scale factor of 2, then the length of a
side of the new square is 8.
Scale factor is used to produce dilations, which can be smaller or larger than the original figure.
Real life applications include reading maps, blueprints, and varying recipe sizes.

Misconceptions/Challenges:
Students do not match up the corresponding sides of figures, and therefore incorrectly set up
proportions between similar polygons, which cause them to get the incorrect side lengths or
transversal segments.
Students believe that adding a particular value to all sides of a polygon will create a similar
polygon.
Students mix up the possible values of the scale factors for enlargements and reductions.
Students do not multiply the scale factor by all sides in the polygon.
Students think that all polygons of a particular shape (for example all right traingles, or all
rectangles) are similar; they do not recognize that they can have different corresponding angles.

similar triangles with a scale factor of 1:1. The corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional and
corresponding angles are congruent. Take two similar triangles. One has sides 6, 8, and 12. The other has
sides 9, 12, and 18. Each ratio of the corresponding sides reduces to 2:3. Next, we can present situations
with similar triangles where the length of one side is missing. We can demonstrate how we can set up ratios
comparing corresponding sides and use properties of proportions to calculate the missing side.

corresponding pairs of angles and the proportionality of all corresponding pairs of sides.
Have students complete the activity “Similar Triangles Application” (included in this Curriculum Guide)
to use their skills with similar triangles in a real life situation. Meter sticks and mirrors are required
materials. Students should stand several feet away from an object, placing the mirror on the ground between
themselves and the object. The student should place themselves or the mirror in such a way that s/he can
spot the top of the object in the mirror. A partner should take three measurements: the distance the student is
standing from the mirror, the distance from the mirror to the base of the object,, and the distance from the
students line of sight to the ground. Using proportions and similar triangles, the students should be able to
indirectly calculate the height of the object.
Have students do the activity “Find the Scale Factor” (included in this Curriculum Guide) for more practice
in using scale factor to solve similarity problems. Before doing this activity, discuss scale factors with the

The Gumps
There are imposters lurking among the family of Gumps. Using the following criteria, you will
create a set of characters. They will all look somewhat alike but only some of them are considered to
be mathematically similar.
Each group should create a set of characters in order to answer the questions that follow. Every
graph within the group should be drawn using the same scale in order to see the changes between the
Gumps. More than one piece of graph paper may be needed for a particular character.
Plot each point on graph paper. For the points in SET 1 and SET 3, connect them in order and
connect the last point to the first point. For SET 2, connect the points in order but do not connect the
last point to the first point. For SET 4, make a dot at each point.

All of Higgles’ measurements are two times that of Giggles’. All of Ziggles’ measurements are three times that of Giggles’. Wiggles’ widths only are three times larger than Giggles’ widths because only the x-values were multiplied by 3. Miggles’ lengths only are three times larger than Giggles’ lengths because only the y-values were multiplied by 3.
Giggles and Higgles are mathematically similar. Describe what you think it means for two figures to
be mathematically similar.
Two figures are mathematically similar if their angle measures are the same and all of
their dimensions are proportional.
What other Gump(s) fit this description. Why?
Ziggles is also mathematically similar to Giggles and Higgles because they have the same

Properties of Radicals
n
An expression that contains a radical sign is called a radical expression, a . The expression under
the radical sign is the radicand and the numeric value, n is the index. We read this as “the nth root of
5
a. Looking at the radical expression 3x , 3x is the radicand and 5 is the index.
1. c is a square root of a, if c2 = a, e.g., 2 is a square root of 4 because 22 = 4 and
-2 is a square root of 4 because (-2)2 = 4.
Because there are two values that satisfy the equation x2 = 4, we take the term square root to mean the
principal square root which has a non-negative value. In this case 4 2 is the principal square
root. Mathematically, we express this as:
a2
a
2. c is a cube root of a if c = a, e.g., 3 is a cube root of 27 because 33 = 27 and -3 is a cube root of 27 because (-3)3 = -27.
The cube root of a negative number is negative.
The cube root of a positive number is positive.
3. c is an nth root of a if cn = a. Note that if the index is odd and the radicand is negative then the

Right Triangles
Remind students that it is better to remember the Pythagorean Theorem as leg2 + leg2 = hypotenuse2
rather than a2 + b2 = c2, since there is no guarantee that c is always the hypotenuse.
There are two special right triangles. The first is a 45-45-90 triangle. The special ratio is 1:1: 2 .
The second is a 30-60-90 triangle. The special ratio is 1: 3 : 2 .

Trigonometry is based on similar right triangles. The sine (sin) of an angle is the ratio of the opposite
side to the hypotenuse. The cosine (cos) of an angle is the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse.

The cosine of an angle is the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse. The tangent (tan) of an
angle is the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side.
There are many different ways to help your students remember the sine, cosine, and tangent functions.
Use the old Indian chief SOH CAH TOA. Tell a story of how a great Indian chief was also a great
mathematician. And he developed sine, cosine, and tangent to match his name.
SOH (sin = opp / hyp)
CAH (cos = adj / hyp)
TOA (tan = opp / adj)

The geometric mean is the square root of the product of two numbers. In right triangles, an altitude
drawn to the hypotenuse is the geometric mean of the measures of the two segments of the hypotenuse.
Each leg of a right triangle is the geometric mean of the measure of the adjacent segment of the
hypotenuse and the total measure of the hypotenuse.
angle of depression
The angle of elevation is the angle between the line of sight and the horizontal when looking up. The
angle of depression is the angle between the line of sight and the horizontal when looking down. It is
helpful to remember that the angle of elevation and the angle of depression are alternate interior angles
to each other.
angle of elevation
Real life applications are architecture and engineering.
Right triangle trigonometry is one of the more practical day-to-day applications of mathematics. Used
to find lengths and angles, it is a necessity in construction and home improvement. For example, if
you wish to build a deck that is a regular polygon, you only need the length of one side to find the area
using trigonometry and simple geometry.
The three trigonometric functions, sine, cosine, and tangent are simply ratios of the sides of right
triangles. These values can be found in a table, in a calculator, or in a textbook. By the Angle-Angle
Similarity Theorem, if the measures of two of the angles of a pair of triangles are equal, then the
triangles are similar. Since we are working with right triangles only, all triangles with a second angle
of the same measure are similar and their sides are proportional.
The given angle is called “theta” and is represented by the symbol . The side of the triangle across
from is the “opposite side”. The side of the triangle next to is the “adjacent side”. CCSSM II

Misconceptions/Challenges:
SRT 6
Students struggle labeling the opposite, adjacent and hypotenuse. Sometimes they use the
shortest leg as the opposite leg or confuse adjacent and hypotenuse.
Students get confused of where the angle of depression is located.
Students confuse the difference on how to use the calculator when finding values of a missing side
or missing angle.
Students may apply the ratios of the special right triangles to all right triangles.
Once trigonometry is taught, students like to use that instead of the ratios of special triangles. But
to get exact values, they must use the ratios.
SRT 8
Students may not substitute the hypotenuse in for ‘c’ in the Pythagorean Theorem.
Angle of depression is often mislabeled as the angle between the vertical and hypotenuse
Students incorrectly identify corresponding legs when using hypotenuse-leg congruence for right
triangles.
Students do not understand that equilateral triangles are also equiangular and vice versa.
Students do not realize that congruent angles in an isosceles triangle are opposite the congruent
sides.

Have students complete the activity “Let’s Measure the Height of a Flagpole” (included in this Curriculum Guide) to practice solving problems involving indirect measurement. A clinometer
can be built from a piece of cardboard, a drinking straw, a piece of string, a washer, and a
protractor as shown on the first page of the activity record sheet. Templates for protractors are
included “Grids and Graphics” (included in this Curriculum Guide). Note: Answers will vary.
Have students practice finding the missing side or angle of a right triangle with the “Find the
Missing Side or Angle” activity (included in this Curriculum Guide). Students will need a copy of the activity and a scientific or graphing calculator.
Remind students of the legend of Soh Cah Toa, the “great trigonometry leader”. Embellish the
story yourself or ask students to spin their own tall tale, write a poem or create a rap that includes a
description of the trigonometric ratios: sine = opposite/hypotenuse, cosine =adjacent/hypotenuse,
and tangent = opposite/adjacent. Review how the trigonometric ratios can be used to find missing
angle measures or side lengths in right triangles.
Arrange students in groups of three to play “paper football”. After each group has made its football by folding a sheet of paper, the group will assign duties and measure its field (the distance
along the ground from where the ball is kicked to the uprights). One student will be the kicker, one
will hold up their hands as the uprights, and one will measure the height of the “football” from the
ground as it crosses the uprights. Each group will draw its field, record the measurements, and
calculate the angle of elevation the ball makes with the ground for each kick, for at least 5 kicks.
Follow up with the “Between the Uprights” activity (included in this Curriculum Guide). Remind
students that the angle the goal post makes with the ground is 90 . Students will need a copy of the
activity, a sheet of paper to use to make a football, and a calculator. Discuss with students the
effect of a five or ten yard penalty on the results for each situation. How significantly would the
angle or distances be changed?
Arrange students into groups of two. Student will practice their right triangle solving skills with
the exercise “Solve the Triangle” (included in this Curriculum Guide). Students will need a copy
of the activity, a calculator, a ruler, and a protractor. Have students take turns explaining to their
partner how they solved one of the problems on the sheet.
Students design their ideal city park in the activity “Right Triangle Park” (included in this Curriculum Guide). The catch is that their “ideal” park can be made up of only right triangles. Students will then measure two parts of each triangle and calculate the remaining parts using
trigonometry. Students will need a calculator, ruler, protractor, and a copy of the worksheet.
Allow students time to share with the class their design. Ask students to point out several of the
right triangles in their design and to explain how they calculated the lengths and/or angles for a few
of the triangles.
Have students complete the activity “Applications of the Pythagorean Theorem” (included in this Curriculum Guide) to explore real-life applications of the Pythagorean Theorem.
Students can reinforce their similar triangle skills by using the properties of similar triangles to
measure objects around school. Have the students select three objects they want to measure and
use a mirror to create a pair of similar triangles as instructed in the “Find the Height” activity (included in this Curriculum Guide). Each group of two or three students will need a tape measure,

Reteach:
Have students complete the activity “Memory Match” (included in this Curriculum Guide) to reinforce right triangle terminology. Students can work in groups of three or four. First place all
cards facedown and then have each student take turns drawing two cards. If the two cards drawn
go together as a pair the student will keep it as a match. Students take turns drawing. The student
with the most pairs or matches wins. Students will need a scientific calculator.
Additional practice in solving proportions, using the properties of similar triangles and right
triangle trigonometry is available in the “Similar Right Triangles and Trigonometric Ratios” activity (included in this Curriculum Guide).
Have students complete the activity “Hey, All These Formulas Look Alike” (included in this Curriculum Guide) to investigate the tangent relationship. Note: For the visual learner, the use of
highlighted notes may lead to greater understanding. Highlighting (x2 – x1 ) x and ( y2 – y1) y

A trigonometric ratio is a ratio of the lengths of two sides of a right triangle.
All right triangles with acute angles measuring 20° and 70° are similar;
therefore, the ratio of any two sides of one triangle will equal the ratio of the
corresponding two sides of another.

The clinometer is used to measure the heights of objects. It is a simplified version of the quadrant, an
important instrument in the Middle Ages, and the sextant, an instrument for locating the positions of
ships. Each of these devices has arcs which are graduated in degrees for measuring angles of
elevation. The arc of the clinometer is marked from 0 to 90 degrees. When an object is sighted
through the straw, the number of degrees in angle BXY can be read from the arc. Angle BAC is the
angle of elevation of the clinometer. Angle BXY on the clinometer is equal to the angle of elevation,
angle BAC.

Find the Height
When you see an image in a mirror, the angle your line of sight makes with the ground is the same as
the angle the top of the object being reflected makes with the ground as shown below.
You and your work group will use this fact and your knowledge of similar triangles to find the
heights of structures in your school yard.
Instructions:
Select 3 tall objects you wish to measure (tree, flagpole, smokestack, school, goalpost, etc).
Place a mirror on the ground between yourself and the object whose height you are calculating.
Stand so you can see the top of the object in the mirror.
While you stand, your partner will measure the ground distance from you to the mirror and from the
mirror to the object.
Record the measurements on the “Find the Height” data sheet. Record the mirror watcher's height on the data sheet.
Set up your proportion and find the height of the object.

Memory Match – Up
Students can be put into groups of 3 – 4.
First place all cards face down and have each student take turns drawing two cards. If the two cards
drawn go together as a pair, then the student will keep it as a match. The student with the most
matches wins.
Note: There are 3 cards that say “1”. There are 2 cards that say “ 3 ”. There are 2 cards that say 3 ”. There are 2 cards that say “ 1 ”. Make sure that students know that two cards with the exact

Which of the following trigonometric ratios: sine, cosine, or tangent of an angle can have a value
greater than 1? Why is it that the values of the other two trigonometric ratios can never be greater
than 1? Explain.
Solution: The tangent of an angle can be greater than 1. The sine of an acute angle of a right triangle
length of leg opposite the angle
is defined as
and the cosine of an acute angle of a right triangle is
length of hypotenuse
length of leg adjacent to the angle
defined as
. The length of a leg of a right triangle will always
length of hypotenuse
be less than the length of the hypotenuse. If the numerator of a fraction is less than the denominator,
the fraction is always less than 1.
Therefore, the sine and cosine of an angle will never be greater than 1 by definition of the sine and
cosine ratios.

Math Practices Rationale
CCSSM Practice 1: Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
Why is this practice important?
What does this practice look like when students are
doing it?
What can a teacher do to model this practice?
What questions could a teacher ask to encourage
the use of this practice?
What does proficiency look like in this practice?
What actions might the teacher make that inhibit
the students’ use of this practice?
Helps students to develop critical thinking
skills.
Teaches students to “think for themselves”.
Helps students to see there are multiple
approaches to solving a problem.
Students immediately begin looking for
methods to solve a problem based on previous
knowledge instead of waiting for teacher to
show them the process/algorithm.
Students can explain what problem is asking as
well as explain, using correct mathematical
terms, the process used to solve the problem.
Frame mathematical questions/challenges so
they are clear and explicit.
Check with students repeatedly to help them
clarify their thinking and processes.
“How would you go about solving this
problem?”
“What do you need to know in order to solve this problem?”
What methods have we studied that you can
use to find the information you need?
Students can explain the relationships
between equations, verbal descriptions,
tables, and graphs.
Students check their answer using a different
method and continually ask themselves, “Does this make sense?”
They understand others approaches to solving
complex problems and can see the similarities
between different approaches.
Showing the students shortcuts/tricks to solve
problems (without making sure the students
understand why they work).
Not giving students an adequate amount of
think time to come up with solutions or
processes to solve a problem.
Giving students the answer to their questions
instead of asking guiding questions to lead
them to the discovery of their own question.
Page 4 of 399
CCSSM Practice 2: Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
Why is this practice important?
What does this practice look like when students are
doing it?
What can a teacher do to model this practice?
What questions could a teacher ask to encourage
the use of this practice?
What does proficiency look like in this practice?
What actions might the teacher make that inhibit
the students’ use of this practice?
Students develop reasoning skills that help
them to understand if their answers make
sense and if they need to adjust the answer to
a different format (i.e. rounding)
Students develop different ways of seeing a
problem and methods of solving it.
Students are able to translate a problem
situation into a number sentence or algebraic
expression.
Students can use symbols to represent
problems.
Students can visualize what a problem is
asking.
Ask students questions about the types of
answers they should get.
Use appropriate terminology when discussing
types of numbers/answers.
Provide story problems and real world
problems for students to solve.
Monitor the thinking of students.
“What is your unknown in this problem?
“What patterns do you see in this problem and
how might that help you to solve it?”
Students can recognize the connections
between the elements in their mathematical
sentence/expression and the original problem.
Students can explain what their answer
means, as well as how they arrived at it.
Giving students the equation for a word or
visual problem instead of letting them “figure it out” on their own.
Page 5 of 399
CCSSM Practice 3: Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others
Why is this practice important?
What does this practice look like when students are
doing it?
What can a teacher do to model this practice?
What questions could a teacher ask to encourage
the use of this practice?
What does proficiency look like in this practice?
What actions might the teacher make that inhibit
the students’ use of this practice?
Students better understand and remember
concepts when they can defend and explain
it to others.
Students are better able to apply the
concept to other situations when they
understand how it works.
Communicate and justify their solutions
Listen to the reasoning of others and ask
clarifying questions.
Compare two arguments or solutions
Question the reasoning of other students
Explain flaws in arguments
Provide an environment that encourages
discussion and risk taking.
Listen to students and question the clarity of
arguments.
Model effective questioning and appropriate
ways to discuss and critique a mathematical
statement.
How could you prove this is always true?
What parts of “Johnny’s “ solution confuses you?
Can you think of an example to disprove
your classmates theory?
Students are able to make a mathematical
statement and justify it.
Students can listen, critique and compare
the mathematical arguments of others.
Students can analyze answers to problems
by determining what answers make sense.
Explain flaws in arguments of others.
Not listening to students justify their
solutions or giving adequate time to critique

1st Nine Weeks
Scope and Sequence
Intro Unit – IO (5 days)
Topic 1 – Similarity (20 days)
Geometry (G – SRT):
1) Similarity, Right Triangles, and Trigonometry:
Understand similarity in terms of similarity transformations.
G – SRT 1: Verify experimentally the properties of dilations given by a center and a scale
factor.
G – SRT 1a: A dilation takes a line not passing through the center of the dilation to a parallel
line, and leaves a line passing through the center unchanged.
G – SRT 1b: The dilation of a line segment is longer or shorter in the ratio given by the scale
factor.
G – SRT 2: Given two figures, use the definition of similarity in terms of similarity
transformations to decide if they are similar; explain using similarity transformations the
meaning of similarity for triangles as the equality of all corresponding pairs of angles and the
proportionality of all corresponding pairs of sides.
G – SRT 3: Use the properties of similarity transformations to establish the AA criterion for
two triangles to be similar.
Geometry (G – SRT):
2) Similarity, Right Triangles, and Trigonometry:
Prove theorems involving similarity.
G – SRT 4: Prove theorems about triangles. Theorems include: a line parallel to one side
of a triangle divides the other two proportionally, and conversely; the Pythagorean Theorem
proved using triangle similarity.
G – SRT 5: Use congruence and similarity criteria for triangles to solve problems and to
prove relationships in geometric figures.
Topic 2 – Trigonometric Ratios (20 days)
Geometry (G – SRT):
3) Similarity, Right Triangles, and Trigonometry:
Define trigonometric ratios and solve problems involving .right triangles
G – SRT 6: Understand that by similarity, side ratios in right triangles are properties of the
angles in the triangle, leading to definitions of trigonometric ratios for acute angles.
G – SRT 7: Explain and use the relationship between the sine and cosine of complementary
angles.
G – SRT 8: Use trigonometric ratios and the Pythagorean Theorem to solve right triangles in
applied problems.

Scope and Sequence
Topic 3 – Other Types of Functions (15 days)
Creating Equations (A – CED):
4) Create equations that describe numbers or relationships
A – CED 1: Create equations and inequalities in one variable and use them to solve
problems. Include equations arising from linear and quadratic functions, and simple
rational and exponential functions.
A – CED 4: Rearrange formulas to highlight a quantity of interest, using the same reasoning
as in solving equations. For example, rearrange Ohm’s law V = IR to highlight resistance R.
Reasoning with Equations and Inequalities (A – REI):
5) Understand solving equations as a process of reasoning and explain the reasoning.
A – REI 1: Explain each step in solving a simple equation as following from the equality of
numbers asserted at the previous step, starting from the assumption that the original equation
has a solution. Construct a viable argument to justify a solution method.
The Real Number System (N – RN):
6) Extend the properties of exponents to rational exponents.
N – RN 1: Explain how the definition of the meaning of rational exponents follows from
extending the properties of integer exponents to those values, allowing for a notation for
radicals in terms of rational exponents. For example, we define 51/3 to be the cube root of 5
because we want (51/3)3 = 5(1/3)3 to hold, so (51/3)3 must equal 5.
N – RN 2: Rewrite expressions involving radicals and rational exponents using the
properties of exponents.
The Real Number System (N – RN):
7) Use properties of rational and irrational numbers.
N – RN 3: Explain why the sum or product of two rational numbers is rational; that the sum
of a rational number and an irrational number is irrational; and that the product of a nonzero
rational number and an irrational number is irrational.
Interpreting Functions (F – IF):
8) Interpret functions that arise in applications in terms of the context.
F – 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.*
Interpreting Functions (F – IF):
9) Analyze functions using different representations.
F – IF 7b: Graph square root, cube root, and absolute value functions.
F – IF 7e: Graph exponential and logarithmic functions, showing intercepts and end
behavior, and trigonometric functions, showing period, midline, and amplitude.
Page 22 of 399
F – IF 8: Write a function defined by an expression in different but equivalent forms to
reveal and explain different properties of the function.
F – 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.
Building Functions (F – BF):
10) Build a function that models a relationship between two quantities.
F – BF 1: Write a function that describes a relationship between two quantities.
F – BF 1a: Determine an explicit expression, a recursive process, or steps for calculation
from a context.
F – BF 1b: Combine standard function types using arithmetic operations. For example, build
a function that models the temperature of a cooling body by adding a constant function to a
decaying exponential, and relate these functions to the model.
Building Functions (F – BF):
11) Build new functions from existing functions.

S – CP 4: Construct and interpret two-way frequency tables of data when two categories are

Teacher Notes:
Circles
The standard form for the equation of a circle, where the center is the origin and length of the
radius is r is x2 + y2 = r2. If the center is not the origin, then the equation is
(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2, where (h, k) is the center of the circle and r is the length of the radius of
the circle. If the equation given is (x + 7)2 + (y – 4)2 = 92, then the center of the circle is
(- 7, 4) and the length of the radius is 9 units.
Properties of Radicals
An expression that contains a radical sign is called a radical expression, n a . The expression
under the radical sign is the radicand and the numeric value, n is the index. We read this as “the nth root of a. Looking at the radical expression
5
3x , 3x is the radicand and 5 is the index.
1) c is a square root of a, if c2 = a, e.g., 2 is a square root of 4 because 22 = 4 and -2 is a square
root of 4 because (-2)2 = 4.
Because there are two values that satisfy the equation x2 = 4, we take the term square root to
mean the principal square root which has a non-negative value. In this case 4 2 is the
principal square root. Mathematically, we express this as:
a2
a
2) c is a cube root of a if c3 = a, e.g., 3 is a cube root of 27 because 33 = 27 and -3 is a cube
root of -27 because (-3)3 = -27.
The cube root of a negative number is negative.
3) The cube root of a positive number is positive. c is an nth root of a if cn = a. Note that if the
index is odd and the radicand is negative then the principal square root is negative. For

Adding and Subtracting Radicals
Adding and subtracting radicals follows a process very similar to adding and subtracting like
terms. In this case, the radicands and the indices must both be the same.
In the example, 3 5 17 6 5 17 , notice that the radicand, 17, is the same in both terms as is the
index, 5. These terms can be added, giving 3 5 17 6 5 17
9 5 17 .
Initially it appears that the expression 5 2 2 8 cannot be simplified because the radicands are
different from each other. By simplifying the second term we see that 2 8 can be simplified to
4 2 , thus they are like radicals and can be subtracted. The simplification is as follows:

One can multiply radicals using the distributive property (FOIL). When dividing radicals,
rationalize the denominator by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by the
conjugate. Anything of the form a b c d and a b c d are conjugates. For example, to

Polynomials
A monomial is a single algebraic expression such as: x, x2y, 16, 3x4y. A polynomial is a
monomial by itself or a sum of monomials. Each monomial expression is simplified when there
are no duplicate bases and no parentheses or operators. The degree of a monomial can be found
by taking the sum of the exponents of all the variables. (Example: 4x3y2 has a degree of five.)
The degree of a polynomial is the greatest degree of any term in the polynomial. (Example:
4x2y4 has a degree of 6 and 2x3y5 has a degree of eight, therefore the polynomial
4x2 y 4 2x3 y5 has a degree of eight.) While polynomials with a degree of one represent linear
relationships (x + y = 7), polynomials with a degree greater than one represent non-linear
relationships (x2 + y2 = 16 or y = x2 + x + 4).
Polynomial expressions can be simplified by using the distributive property to combine
like terms such as 2(x + 3) + 4(x – 1) = 2x + 6 + 4x – 4 = 6x + 2. The associative property is used
to add and subtract polynomials. Subtracting one polynomial from another is the same as adding
the opposite of the expression that is to be subtracted. We also use the distributive property to
multiply each term of one polynomial by each term of another polynomial when multiplying
polynomials. When multiplying polynomials, we must use the laws of exponents (This is
covered in depth in the textbook).
The study of properties: closure, identity, inverse, commutative, and associative, will
build upon students’ prior knowledge of these and will require them to use these properties to
simplify algebraic as well as numerical expressions. The distributive property will also be
introduced. Likewise, students will use either single properties or a combination of them to
evaluate algebraic expressions, add and subtract monomials and polynomials, and use the
concept of combining like terms to simplify these expressions.

Exponential Functions
There are two types of exponential functions, exponential growth and decay. In the form
f x ab x , if b > 1 this is an exponential growth function and if 0 < b < 1 this is an exponential
decay function. If b =1 this will be a constant function. The a value represents the initial value
or y-intercept. The use of the compound interest formula should be emphasized in this topic.

The compound interest formula is A P 1

k,a
describes whether the graph is steeper than y = bx and the graph is reflected about the x-axis if a
is negative. The constant h describes the horizontal translation and the constant k describes the
vertical translation. In addition, students should be able to graph f x ab x k k based on
some reference points on f(x) = bx.
For example:
Given (0, 1), (1, 2) and (2, 4) on y = 2x, graph f x

Radical and Rational Functions
To simplify radicals by adding and subtracting, you must first have like radicals, that is, you need
like terms. In order to get like radicals, the radicands may need to be simplified by using a factor
tree to break down the square-root term.

To multiply radicals together, you multiply the radical coefficients together, and you multiply the

Patterns and Functions
A function is a relationship in which every value of x has a unique corresponding value of y.
When a function is graphed it will pass the vertical line test. In other words, when a vertical line
is drawn anywhere on the graph, it only intersects the graph at one point. A function can be
represented with an equation (e.g., y = 3x – 2) or in function notation (e.g., f(x) = 3x – 2). The
notation f(x) can be translated as “f of x” or “the function of x”. Before determining the type of function, it is important to identify which is the independent variable (x) and which is the
dependent variable (y). The dependent variable is a result of the independent variable when a
function has been applied to it. The value of the dependent variable is determined by the value
of the related independent variable.

Linear Relationships
Non-Linear Relationships
In a linear relationship there will be a common difference between consecutive terms. The
difference between consecutive y-values can also be referred to as the finite difference. When
the x-values are given as consecutive integers, the equation for a linear relationship can be easily
developed. First find the finite difference between the y-values. This number is then multiplied

by the independent variable (x). If this product is not equal to the dependent variable (y) then
add or subtract whatever value will result in the dependent variable. For example, in the table
below a linear relationship (function) is represented. The finite difference between terms is 4 (4
is added each time to find the next y-value); therefore the independent variable must be
multiplied by 4 as part of the process to determine the dependent variable. When 1 is multiplied
by 4 the result is not equal to 6, we must add 2 more in order to equal 6. Multiplying by 4 and
then adding 2 will also work for all of the other pairs of values in the relationship. Therefore, the
function y = 4x + 2 can be used to represent this relationship. The finite difference, 4, is the
slope and the amount added, 2, is the y-intercept.

A function that is non-linear will have finite differences that are not the same. There will,
however, be a pattern to the differences. In a quadratic relationship the finite differences will
increase or decrease by the same amount. In other words, the difference between each
succeeding terms is constant. When you have to find two “levels” of differences to arrive at a constant finite difference, the relationship is a quadratic one. The related equation for a quadratic
function has a degree of two (i.e., it has a variable that is squared) and all exponents are positive.
If it requires going to three levels of differences to arrive at a constant value, the equation would
have a degree of three (i.e., it has a variable that is cubed) and would not be quadratic but cubic.
Four levels would indicate a degree of four, and so on. Not all relationships will eventually have
a constant value for the finite differences, no matter how many levels are found. When the
relationship is exponential (e.g., y = 2x) the finite differences will never all be the same value.
For example, in the table below, the first level of finite differences would be 3, 6, 12, 24, . . . and
so on. The second level of finite differences would also be 3, 6, 12, 24, . . . and so on.
This relationship will never result in finite differences that are the same value.

Students can use finite differences to quickly determine if a relationship is linear, quadratic, or
something else. If the first level of finite differences is all the same value, then the relationship is
linear (i.e., it will be a first-degree equation). If the second level of finite differences is all the

Misconceptions/Challenges:
Students move the graph the opposite direction on horizontal shifts, because they confuse
the fact that “h” is positive in the portion of the equation which says (x-h).
Students move the graph up and down instead of left and right.
Students confuse the horizontal and vertical shifts.
Students confuse vertical stretches and compressions, often assuming that the effect of the
equation is on the horizontal; for example they think the graph is simply expanding
(getting wider) or shrinking (getting narrower) horizontally, rather than actually expanding
or shrinking vertically.
Students do not understand the different inequality signs such as and ; they do not
understand why one includes the stated value and the other does not.
Students confuse interval notation with inequality symbols.
Students do not understand the concept of absolute value; they cannot visualize why there
are two solutions to an absolute value equation, because they do not understand the
definition of absolute value.

10) Discuss with students that sometimes there are one, two, or no real solutions when finding the
square root of a number. Using actual numbers, have students determine the square root of 4,
5, 0, and –1. Students should be guided, if necessary, to determine that 4 would have two
rational solutions (2, and –2), 5 would have two irrational solutions
5 , 0 would have one
1 . Students can summarize
rational solution (0), and –1 would have no real solutions
their findings using variables and record this in their notes. Discussion should include why
negative numbers do not have real solutions for their square roots. Students should develop
the understanding that because multiplying two numbers that are the same (and therefore have
the same sign) will always result in a positive product, it is impossible to have a real square
root for a negative number. A sample summary for these findings is shown below.
i. If d > 0, then x2 = d has two solutions: x =
d .

Introducing the Absolute Value Function: In this activity students will examine data and
investigate the absolute value function.
19) Students can practice converting from radical to exponent form and from exponent to radical
form with the activity “Radical and Exponent Matching” (included in this Curriculum
Guide). With a partner, students will cut out either the radical expression cards or the
exponential expression cards. Students will place exponent and radical cards face down. The
partners take turns drawing a pair of cards and determining if they have equivalent expressions
in exponent and radical form, i.e. a match. The player with the most matches at the end wins.
20) Recognizing the various forms in which equivalent radical and exponential expressions can be
written is useful in problem solving and test taking. In the activity “Find Two Ways” (included in this Curriculum Guide), students will rewrite a radical or an exponential
expression in two additional equivalent ways. Answers can vary.
21) At this point, students should have done many graphs that involve transformations. Supply the
students with the worksheets “Graphing Square Roots” (included in this Curriculum Guide) and a graphing calculator. Students should spend about half of the period completing the
worksheets by themselves. When students have them completed or about half-way through
the period, have the students pair-share their answers. Graphs that have not been completed in
the classroom should be assigned for homework. Debrief with a summary of the properties of
the graphs of square root functions including the algebraic method of finding the domain and
range of the square root function and a reminder of the exponential form of the equations.

worksheet “Graphing Cube Roots” (included in this Curriculum Guide) could be done the same way as “Graphing Square Roots” or it could be done as a homework assignment.
23) The worksheet “Graphing Cube and Square Root Functions” (included in this Curriculum
Guide) can be done as a review or as reinforcement to these concepts.
24) Use a number line taped on the floor to model absolute value equations. A student would be
asked to stand on a number, for example 3, and then another student would identify the points
that are a given distance from the first student, for example two units. The solutions would be
1 and 5. Students would then write the absolute value equation that represents the equation, |x
– 3| = 2. This could also be used to model absolute value inequalities by having students use a
rope or ruler with an arrow on the end to model the solution set.
25) Explore graphing absolute value equations on the coordinate graph with the activity
“Graphing? Absolutely!” (included in this Curriculum Guide). Students start by graphing y
= |x|, by making a t-table, and using graph paper or a graphing calculator. Students should
discuss with a partner any patterns or unique characteristics they notice about this graph
compared to the other linear graphing they have done in the past. Students will then graph
several other equations, each time discussing any patterns or characteristics they notice.
26) Discuss how to determine the vertex for an absolute value equation without graphing the
equation. Students should study the equations from the “Graphing? Absolutely!” (included
in this Curriculum Guide) activity and discuss the relationships they notice between the vertex
of the graph and the equation. Assuming an absolute value equation is of the form y = a|x + b|
+ c, students should be guided to notice that the x coordinate of the vertex can be found by
solving the following equation for x: x + b = 0. The y-coordinate would then be found by
substituting the value for x and then solving for y. Students should practice finding the vertex
when given an equation, then make a table of values that they will use with the vertex to graph
the equation. When making the table use x-coordinates that are to the left and right of the
vertex. Examples are shown below.
Find the vertex:
y = 3|x – 2| – 1
x–2=0
x=2
y = 3|2 – 2| – 1
y = -1
The vertex = (2, -1)
y = |x| + 3
x=0
y = |0| + 3
y=3
The vertex = (0, 3)

Using Formulas
There are many formulas used in everyday life and in science. Depending on what information
you know and what you wish to find, you may need to use a formula in a different way. Look at
the following examples.
Example 1
The formula for finding the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2l + 2w, where P represents
perimeter, l represents length, and w represents width.
A. Find the perimeter of a rectangle with a length of 20 inches and a width of 14 inches.
Substitute the value of each variable into the formula and solve the equation.
In part A, you solved the equation by evaluating the right side of the equation because you
knew the value of every variable on the right hand side.
B. Find the length of the rectangle if the perimeter is 240 inches and the width is 50 inches.
Substitute the value of each variable into the formula and solve the equation.
In part B, you knew some information from each side of the equation and you had to solve the
equation by performing operations on both sides of the equation.
Example 2
Find the width of the rectangle if: A) the length is 10 feet and the perimeter is 50 feet.
B) the length is 25 cm and the perimeter is 75 cm.
C) the length is 145 inches and the perimeter is 540 inches.
A.
B.
C.
Although this worked well enough, it was inefficient because you repeated the same operations
three times with a different set of numbers. By solving the formula for the width, and then
substituting the different values for length and perimeter, you would not be repeating steps.
Second method: Solve the formula for width, and then substitute the values for length and
perimeter.

P = 2l + 2w
To solve for w, treat w as the variable which you want to
isolate, and deal with P and l the way you normally use
numbers in solving equations.
P – 2l = 2l + 2w – 2l
P – 2l = 2w
First, subtract 2l from both sides of the equation.
P 2l 2w
2
2
P 2l
w
2
A.
Next, divide both sides of the equation by 2.
Now you can find the width of each rectangle by
substituting the values for the perimeter and the length
of each rectangle into the new expression.
B.
C.
As you can see, the second method is more efficient if you need to find the value of the width
in more than one situation.

B) the area is 1500 cm2 and the bases are 50 cm and 150 cm.
C) the area is 20 yd2 and the bases are 5 yd and 10 yd.
2. Using the formula for a trapezoid, solve the formula for b2.
Find b2 if:
A) the area is 400 ft2, the height is 4 ft, and one base is 30 ft.
B) the area is 1500 cm2, the height is 10 cm, and one base is 100 cm.

Using Formulas
Answer Key
There are many formulas used in everyday life and in science. Depending on what information
you know and what you wish to find, you may need to use a formula in different ways. Look at
the following examples.
Example 1
The formula for finding the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2l + 2w, where P represents
perimeter, l represents length, and w represents width.
A. Find the perimeter of a rectangle with a length of 20 inches and a width of 14 inches.
Substitute the value of each variable into the formula and solve the equation.
P = 2(20) + 2(14)
P = 40 + 28
P = 68
Perimeter = 68 inches
B. Find the length of the rectangle if the perimeter is 240 inches and the width is 50 inches.
Substitute the value of each variable into the formula and solve the equation.
240 = 2l + 2(50)
240 = 2l + 100
140 = 2l
70 = l, length = 70 inches
In part A, you solved the equation by evaluating the right side of the equation because you
knew the value of every variable on the right hand side.
In part B, you knew some information from each side of the equation and you had to solve the
equation by performing operations on both sides of the equation.
Example 2
Find the width of the rectangle if A) the length is 10 feet and the perimeter is 50 feet.
B) the length is 25 cm and the perimeter is 75 cm.
C) the length is 145 inches and the perimeter is 540 inches.
A. P = 2l + 2w
50 = 2(10) + 2w
50 = 20 + 2w
50 - 20= 20 + 2w- 20
30 = 2w
15 = w
width = 15 feet
B. P = 2l + 2w
75 = 2(25) + 2w
75 = 50 + 2w
75 - 50 = 50 + 2w - 50
25 = 2w
12.5 = w
width = 12.5 cm
C. P = 2l + 2w
540 = 2(145) + 2w
540 = 290 + 2w
540 - 290= 290 + 2w - 290
250 = 2w
125 = w
width = 125 inches
Although this worked well enough, it was inefficient because you repeated the same operations
three times with a different set of numbers. By solving the formula for the width, and then
substituting the different values for length and perimeter, you would not be repeating steps.

Second method: Solve the formula for width, and then substitute the values for length and
perimeter.
P = 2l + 2w
To solve for w, treat w as the variable which you want to
isolate, and deal with P and l the way you normally use
numbers in solving equations.
P – 2l = 2l + 2w – 2l
First, subtract 2l from both sides of the equation.
P – 2l = 2w
Next, divide both sides of the equation by 2.
P 2l

width = 15 feet
A. w =
Now you can find the width of each rectangle by
substituting the values for the perimeter and the length
of each rectangle into the new expression.
75 - 2(25)
2
75 - 50
w=

25
w=
= 12.5

width = 12.5 cm
B. w =

w=
2
250
w=
= 125

width = 125 inches
C. w =
As you can see, the second method is more efficient if you need to find the value of the width
in more than one situation.

recognize that natural numbers, whole numbers, integers are subsets of rational numbers; and that
rational numbers and irrational numbers are subsets of the real number system
recognize and identify perfect squares and their roots
find the square root of perfect squares, and approximate the square root of non-perfect squares as
consecutive integers between which the root lies (a radicand of 76 is between perfect squares 64
and 81)
determine the appropriate formula used to calculate the perimeter, circumference, or area for
situations modeled by certain shapes
identify the correct measurements to be substituted into the formulas based on the situation
use the order of operations correctly to determine the perimeter, circumference, or area
translate geometric symbols for congruence to its correct numerical value for use in calculations
Misconceptions/Challenges
Students do not understand that natural numbers, whole
numbers, and integers are examples of rational numbers.
Students do not understand that repeating decimals are
classified as rational numbers.
Students use “infinity” to describe non-terminating
decimals.
Students use the wrong formula to represent a mathematical
situation or substitute the wrong values into the formula.
For example, given an isosceles triangle, students will
sometimes substitute the slant height for the height in the
formula rather than the altitude.
Students are challenged using problem solving skills to find
a missing measurement when calculating the area of
irregular figures.
Strategies to Address
Misconceptions/Challenges
Use a calculator to compare
and contrast the attributes of given
rational and irrational numbers.
Define a rational number and
use the definition to define an
irrational number. Use a website
(see Technology & Other
Resources) that demonstrates
methods for changing repeating
decimals to fractions.

in the image correlate with the

Students can work
collaboratively with a partner on
activities; pair/share reasoning
and communications should
facilitate understanding.
Instructional Strategies
Guided Discussion – Warm-up-- Day 1: classify real numbers (definitions of rational and
irrational numbers);
Day 2: derivation of perimeter formula and geometric symbols for equality;
Day 3: matching shapes to the formulas used to determine circumference or area.
Independent Practice – Students work individually to classify and graph real numbers on a
number line; calculating the perimeter, circumference, or area of specific shapes.
Think-Pair-Share – Students think, classify, and calculate individually; then pair up with a partner
to share the results after each problem. Students should discuss their results or help each other.
Guided Practice – While the students are working independently or in groups of two, the teacher
circulates to provide guidance and support to foster critical thinking and understanding through the
use of quality questioning (When graphing, where would lie on number line in relationship to
22/7?).
Day 1 – Warm-up with a class discussion on classifying real numbers (definitions of rational and
irrational numbers). Students can complete the real number classification cards activity and then
graph the numbers on a number line. Students can work in pairs to check their answers. Teachers
may laminate and cut out the cards to create a class set of real number cards to save paper and to be
able to use in subsequent years.
Day 2 – Warm-up with derivation of perimeter formula and geometric symbols for equality. For
each situation, students will determine the formula necessary to calculate the perimeter of the shape
represented in each situation. Fill in the appropriate quantities (numbers) that represent the lengths
of each side, and then calculate the exact perimeter. Classify each of the quantities substituted into
the formula as rational or irrational numbers; then students should determine if the resulting

perimeter is a rational or irrational number. Students should conclude that the sum of rational
numbers is a rational number, and the sum of a rational number and an irrational number is an
irrational number.
Homework Day 2 – Students will create two polygons, one where the sides are all rational, and
one where at least one side is irrational and the remaining sides are rational. They will also
calculate the perimeter of each polygon and remember to classify each length and the final area as
rational or irrational.
Day 3 – For each situation, students will determine the formula necessary to calculate the area or
circumference of the shape represented in each situation. Fill in the appropriate quantities
(numbers) that represent the measurements needed to find the area, and then calculate the exact
area. Classify each of the quantities substituted into the formula as rational or irrational numbers,
and then determine if the resulting area is a rational or irrational number. Students should be able
to conclude that the product of rational numbers is a rational number, and the product of a nonzero
rational number and an irrational number is an irrational number.
Homework Day 3 – Students will create two polygons, one where the measurements used to
calculate the area are all rational, and one where at least one length used to calculate the area is
irrational and the remaining lengths are rational. They will also calculate the area of each polygon
and remember to classify each length and the final area as rational or irrational.
Extension Discussion – Ideas for group discussions: What if a situation required you to find the
sum or product of two irrational numbers? Would the sum or product be equal to a rational number
or an irrational number? In groups of 3, justify your answer.

Real Number System Definitions: Rational Numbers versus Irrational Numbers
o Rational Number: a real number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction of two
integers where the denominator cannot equal zero. Any repeating or terminating decimal
can also be written as a fraction, and therefore can also be classified as a rational number.
o Irrational Number: a real number that is NOT rational. Any real number that cannot be
expressed as the exact ratio of two integers. Any non-repeating AND non-terminating
decimal represents an irrational number.

Perimeter of any polygon is the distance around the outside of the polygon.
Perimeter = the sum of the distances around the outside of the polygon
Circumference of a Circle Formula: C

For each situation, determine the formula necessary to calculate the perimeter of the shape
represented in each situation. Fill in the appropriate quantities (numbers) that represent
the lengths of each side, and then calculate the exact perimeter. Classify each of the
quantities you substituted into the formula as rational or irrational numbers, and then
determine if the resulting perimeter is a rational or irrational number. Results that are

Real Numbers –Area Homework
Answer Key
On the centimeter dot paper below, create TWO polygons, one where the measurements
used to calculate the area are all rational, and one where at least one length used to
calculate the area is irrational and the remaining lengths are rational. Calculate the area
of each polygon and remember to classify each length and the final area as rational or
irrational. Remember that your units are in centimeters and your polygons should be to
scale.
Calculations:

What if a situation called for you to find the sum or product of two irrational numbers? Would
the sum or product be equal to a rational number or an irrational number? Discuss in groups of 3
and share out about your decision with justification.
Answers will vary, however the reason for this discussion is because there is no result that is true
ALL the time. See the four examples below.
Example 1: irrational + irrational = irrational

Discuss:
Write a brief paragraph about anything you noticed about how the graph is related to the
equation.
When a value is added to the x inside the absolute value symbol (|x + 2|), the graph is
moved to the left on the x-axis. When a value is subtracted from x inside the absolute value
symbol (|x – 2|), the graph is moved to the right on the x-axis. The number outside tells the
y–coordinate of the vertex. If the number outside is added to the absolute value, shift up
that number of units. If the number outside is subtracted from the absolute value, shift
down that number of units. The number that multiplies the absolute value determines how
steep the lines are and how wide the “V” opens up.

What patterns do you notice in the graphs? Students should observe that when
the absolute value of x is multiplied by a whole number, the graph is
narrower. When the absolute value of x is multiplied by a fraction, the graph
is wider. When a value is added to the x inside the absolute value symbol
(|x + 2|), the graph is moved to the left on the x-axis. When a value is
subtracted from x inside the absolute value symbol (|x – 2|), the graph is
moved to the right on the x-axis. When a value is added to the absolute value
of x (|x| + 3) the graph moves up on the y-axis. When a value is subtracted
from the absolute value of x (|x| - 3) the graph moves down on the y-axis.
When the absolute value of x is multiplied by a negative value the graph opens
down instead of up. The graph can be modified in one or more of these ways
if the equation is modified in one or more of these ways.

Numerical value
a: __10
b: _1.5
Effect on graph
a: y-intercept b: Change factor
Explain your reasoning.
The y-intercept is (0, 10) and the change factor (multiply by 1.5) for y-values.
5. The function, y = 10(1.5)x is written in the form, y = a(b)x, rewrite another way using the
appropriate formula, y = a(1 + r)x or y = a( 1 – r)x. Explain the reason you chose the
specific formula.
Since “b” is greater than 1, y = a(1 + r)x is the appropriate formula.

Investigate Compound Interest
In this investigation, you will explore how compound interest is different than simple interest.
Simple interest is paid on the initial principal where as compound interest is paid on the initial
principal and from previously earned interest. In addition, you will be able to come up with the
compound interest formula.
1. You deposited $1000 into a savings account paying 6% annual interest.
a) If the interest is compounded once a year, how much will you have in your account at
the end of the first year (i.e. what is the balance)? Round your final answer to 2
decimal places.
b) What is your balance at the end of the 2nd year? At the end of the 3rd year? At the
end of the 4th year? Show work. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.

c) Think of a formula to represent how much you have at the end of the tth year.
Many savings institutions offer compounding intervals other than annual (yearly) compounding.
For example, a bank that offers quarterly compounding computes interest on an account every
quarter, that is, every 3 months. Thus instead of compounding interest once each year, the
interest will be compounded 4 times each year. If a bank advertises that it is offering 6% annual
interest compounded quarterly, it does not use 6% to determine interest each quarter. Instead, it
will use 6%/4 = 1.5% each quarter. In this example, 6% is known as the nominal interest rate
and 1.5% as the quarterly interest rate.

a) If the interest is compounded once a year, how much will you have in your account at
the end of the first year (i.e. what is the balance)? Round your final answer to 2
decimal places.
Balance = 1000 + 1000(.06)(1) = $1060
OR
Balance = 1000(1 + 0.06) = 1000(1.06) = $1060
b) What is your balance at the end of the 2nd year? At the end of the 3rd year? At the
end of the 4th year? Show work. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.
1060 + 1060(0.06) = 1060(1 + 0.06) = 1060(1.06)

Teacher Notes:
The graph of a quadratic equation either intersects the x-axis in one point, two points or no points.
If the graph does not intersect the x-axis then the roots of the equation are not real; they are
imaginary. If the graph intersects the axis in one or two points then the x values of these points
are the real roots of the equation. These roots can be identified from the graph or algebraically.
The solutions, also called the roots of the equation ax2 + bx + c = 0, are the values of x where the
graph of y = ax2 + bx + c crosses the x-axis. Recall that an x-intercept of a graph is the xcoordinate of any point where the graph crosses the x-axis. The graph of a quadratic equation, a
parabola, may have no x-intercepts, exactly one x-intercept, or two distinct x-intercepts. The
values of x at the x-intercepts are solutions, roots, or zeros. Quadratic equations in two variables
can be graphed on a coordinate plane. The graph is a visual model of the relationship between
the two variables and is useful in determining the solutions. That is, the graph of y = ax2 + bx + c
can be used to find solutions of ax2 + bx + c = 0, where a 0.
Graphing can be used to solve any quadratic equation, but gives only approximate solutions if the
root(s) are irrational, and does not show any imaginary solutions.
A function f given by the equation f(x) = ax2 + bx + c, where a, b, and c are real numbers, and
a 0, is a quadratic function. The curve of f(x) = ax2 + bx + c is a parabola. A parabola is a graph
of a quadratic function. Emphasis should be placed on questions relating to the characteristics of
the graphs of quadratic functions. Emphasize their parabolic shape, the line of symmetry, the
location of the vertex, the location and interpretation of the x-intercepts, and the location of
maximum or minimum points. Stress that in a quadratic relationship the independent variable is
raised to the second power.
You can use the zero feature of a graphing calculator to find the x-intercepts of a quadratic
function. In the equation f(x) = ax2 + bx + c, if the a value is positive, the parabola opens upward
and the vertex is a minimum point. If the a value is negative, the parabola opens downward and
the vertex is a maximum point.

Quadratic equations should be written in a vertex form in order to describe the transformations.
(In some cases in order to get an equation in this form, completing the square will need to be
applied; this will be covered in topic 6.) It is important that the significance of each term be
explained. The vertex form for a quadratic equation is: f(x) = a (x - h)2+ k, where a determines
whether the graph is reflected about the x-axis, as well as stretched or shrunk vertically, h
determines whether the graph is shifted horizontally left or right, and k determines whether the
graph is shifted vertically up or down. For example, if given the function f(x) = -3(x – 2)2 – 5,
a = - 3, h = 2, and k = - 5. This will transform the graph of y = x2, by reflecting it about the xaxis, stretch the graph vertically by a factor of 3, shift the graph to the right 2 units and shift the
graph down 5 units. It is important to emphasis that the template is f(x) = a(x – h)2 +k. If given
the function f(x) = 4(x + 1)2+ 7, then a = 4, h = - 1 and k = 7. Remember that f(x) = 4(x + 1)2 + 7
= 4 (x – (-1)) + 7. The transformations that will take place to y = x2 will be a vertical stretch by a
factor of 4, a horizontal shift to the left 1 and a vertical shift up 7.
When modeling, depending on the amount of information given one can use the vertex form of a
quadratic equation or one can create a system to find the quadratic equation. If given the vertex
and another point, the vertex form can be used; if three points are given, then a system can be
created and solved. For example, assume that the vertex of a parabolic curve is known (5, - 9) and
another point is known on the curve (2, 18). Using the points and the equation y = a(x – h)2+ k,
one would obtain the equation:
18 a 2 5

The equation for the quadratic would be: y = 3(x - 5)2 - 9 or y = 3x2- 30x + 66.
Assume three points are given: (3, 3), (0, 66), (- 3, 183) using the standard form of the quadratic
equation y = ax2 + bx + c, one would obtain the following three equations from the given points:

Quadratic data exhibits a constant second difference. For example, if the relationship between x
and y were linear, the first differences would be constant and the first difference would be the
slope of the linear relation if the x values increase by 1. Because the relationship between x and y
is quadratic, the second differences are constant. The constant, 6, indicates that a in the standard
form of the quadratic equation is 6/2 =3. In general, a is the 2nd difference divided by 2 if the x
values increase by 1.
The graphs of quadratic functions are called parabolas. Every parabola opens up if a > 0 and
opens down if a < 0 and has a minimum value if opening up and a maximum value if opening
down. The domain of a quadratic function is the set of real numbers, while the range is y > k for
a > 0 and y < k for a < 0. The point where the maximum or minimum occurs is called the vertex.
In a quadratic equation written in standard form, the vertex can be found graphically by using the
maximum and minimum functions on the graphing calculator, or by using a and b from the
standard form equation to find the x-coordinate of the vertex, where x = -b/(2a). The y-coordinate
of the vertex, is found by substituting for x into the quadratic equation. For example, in the graph
of f(x) = 2x2 – 12x + 3, the x-coordinate of the
vertex is 12/4=3, and the y-coordinate of the
vertex is f(3) = 2(3)2 – 12(3) + 3 = -15. The
vertex of the parabola is (3, -15). While changes
in a change the steepness and orientation,
changes in b affect the x and y coordinates of the
vertex. Changes in c cause a vertical shift in the
graph of the parabola, and represent the yintercept.

y = ax2 + bx + c having one x-intercept, two x-intercepts, or no x-intercepts and the quadratic
equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 having one, two, or no solutions. Quadratic functions with no real zeros
have two non-real zeros.
The domain and range should be represented using interval notation. It is helpful to have students
look at a graph from left to right (smallest value to largest value) for the domain and from bottom
to top (smallest value to largest value) for the range. Parentheses indicate that values are not
included in the domain or range and brackets indicate that values are included in the domain and
range. If specific values are to be listed, braces should be used. If the domain is the set of
numbers such that - 3 < x 5 then the interval notation that could be used is (-3, 5]. If the range is
the set of numbers such that y < 0, then the interval notation that could be used is (- , 0). If the
domain or range decrease or increase without boundary then - or are used respectively.
Parentheses are used with the symbols - or . If the function is y = 5, the domain is the set of
all real numbers, (- , ). The range contains one value which is 5 therefore the range is {5}.

Creating Equations in one variable:
One of the algebra common core clusters is to create equations that describe numbers or
relationships. In this topic, students will be able to create equations and inequalities in one
variable and use them to solve problem. At Purple Math you can find the following problem.
This problem illustrates this standard by writing an equation for this situation (196Ä + 60Ä = Area
of swimming pool and deck) in one variable.
http://www.purplemath.com/modules/perimetr2.htm
A circular swimming pool with a diameter of 28 feet has a deck of uniform width
built around it. If the area of the deck is 60(pi) square feet, find its width.
I have this situation:
A pool is
surrounded by a deck.
The pool has radius 14,
and the deck has width "d ".
If the diameter of the pool is 28, then the radius is 14. The area of the pool is then:

(Ä)r2 = (Ä)(14)2 = 196(Ä)
Then the total area of the pool plus the surrounding decking is:
196(Ä) + 60(Ä) = 256(Ä)
Working backwards from the area formula, I can find the radius of the whole pool-plus-deck area:
256(Ä) = (Ä)r2
256 = r2
16 = r
Since I already know that the pool has a radius of 14 feet, and I now know that the whole area has
a radius of 16, then clearly: the deck is two feet wide.
Creating Equations in two variables:
For the second standard, students will create equations in two or more variables to represent
relationships between quantities; graph equations on coordinate axes with labels and scales.
The following problem can be found at Purple Math.
http://www.purplemath.com/modules/quadprob3.htm
A student can use graphing technology to plot the data in the table below (price hikes, total
income) to find the equation it represents.
You run a canoe-rental business on a small river in Ohio. You currently charge $12
per canoe and average 36 rentals a day. An industry journal says that, for every fiftycent increase in rental price, the average business can expect to lose two rentals a day.
Use this information to attempt to maximize your income. What should you charge?
Let's say I have no idea how to set this problem up. Instead of going straight to an equation, I'll
need to put in some real numbers, see what I do when I know what the values are, and then follow
the pattern to get my formula. Here is my reasoning, neatly laid out in a table:
price hikes
price per rental
number
of rentals
total income / revenue
none
$12.00
36
$12.00×36 = $432.00
1 price hike
$12.00 + 1(0.50)
36 – 1(2)
$12.50×34 = $425.00
2 price hikes $12.00 + 2(0.50)
36 – 2(2)
$13.00×32 = $416.00
3 price hikes $12.00 + 3(0.50)
36 – 3(2)
$13.50×30 = $405.00
x price hikes $12.00 + x(0.50)
36 – x(2)
(12 + 0.5x)(36 – 2x)
Then my formula for my revenues R after x fifty-cent price hikes is:
R(x) = (12 + 0.5x)(36 – 2x) = 432 – 6x – x2 = –x2 – 6x + 432
The maximum income will occur at the vertex of this quadratic's parabola, and the vertex is at

Building Functions
http://www.purplemath.com/modules/fcntrans2.htm
Build new functions from existing functions is a standard for the cluster building functions in the
common core state standards. Students will be able to identify the effect on the graph using
transformation rules. Below are the rules listed at Purple Math.
The transformations so far follow these rules:
f(x) + a is f(x) shifted upward a units
f(x) – a is f(x) shifted downward a units
f(x + a) is f(x) shifted left a units
f(x – a) is f(x) shifted right a units
–f(x) is f(x) flipped upside down ("reflected about the x-axis")
f(–x) is the mirror of f(x) ("reflected about the y-axis")
There are two other transformations, but they're harder to "see" with any degree of accuracy.

Misconceptions/Challenges:
Students do not understand the meaning of the vertex and how to get two points, which are
reflections of each other.
Students do not make a connection between the x-value of the vertex and the axis of
symmetry.
Students confuse the x-intercept and y-intercept.
Students confuse h and k, which are the vertex coordinates, with the x-intercept and yintercept.
Students make mistakes when determining the vertex due to their lack of understanding the
difference between (-3)2 and -32.
Students make mistakes plotting points, because they confuse the x-axis and the y-axis.
Students incorrectly assign attributes to different forms of quadratic functions; for example
they incorrectly identify the k value of a quadratic equation in vertex form as the yintercept because they confuse it with the c value from a quadratic function in standard
form.
Students confuse the x-intercepts of the factored form regarding the positive or negative
sign.
Students assume the rate of change is the same for all intervals of a quadratic function.
Students think an equation with a higher y-intercept has a higher maximum value.
Students get confused by the concept that the “h” value comes after a subtraction sign, and therefore move the graph the opposite direction on horizontal shifts.
Students confuse the horizontal and vertical shifts.
Students confuse vertical stretches and compressions; they tend to see it as a horizontal
change rather than a vertical change. They believe the graph gets wider horizontally, but
do not understand that this is actually due to a vertical compression. Similarly students
often see the graph as getting more narrow, but again do not recognize that this is due to a
vertical stretch.

1. Have students complete the activity “Graphing Quadratic Functions” (included in this

some functions cross the x-axis at one point, some cross it at two points, and some do not cross
the x-axis at all.
2. Using technology students will determine the vertex and zeros of quadratic equations using
“Graph in a Flash” (included in this Curriculum Guide).
3. Have the students use the “Properties of a Parabola” worksheet (included in this Curriculum

and maximum or minimum, and the domain and range of a parabola.
4. The activity, “What Will My Parabola Look Like?” (included in this Curriculum Guide),
allows students to see how changing coefficients, a, b and c one at a time while fixing the
other two coefficients affects the graph. Students will examine the vertex and make
conjectures based on the ordered pairs and the graph. Students should work in groups on this
activity.
5. The students should learn how to make a table and graph the quadratic function. The students
should begin by finding the x-coordinate of the vertex. Students should then make a table of
values (the table should include at least two values greater than the x-coordinate for the vertex
and at least two values less than the x-coordinate for the vertex). The students should plot the
points and sketch the graph of the parabola.
6. Students should be able to enter any quadratic equation into a graphing calculator and obtain
the graph of a parabola. Students should be able to set an appropriate window so that they can
see a complete graph (x-intercepts, y-intercept, and vertex).
7. Have students use graphing calculators, and enter a variety of equations into the y= menu,
changing the a and c values only. Help students compare the graph and the table of each
equation to y = x2. For example, have students enter y1 = x2 and y2 = x2 + 3 into their
calculators. When comparing the graphs students will see that y2 was shifted up 3 and by
looking at the table they can see that all of the values in the y2 column are 3 more than those in
the y1 column. Include horizontal shifts in vertex form as well.

write equations for both functions.

features for the graph. The key features should include the vertex, y-intercept, and xintercept(s).

3. The activity, “Zeros of Quadratic Functions: Calculator Discovery” (included in this
Curriculum Guide), allows students to connect factors of quadratics to the x-intercepts using
the graphing calculator. This activity will lead into a discussion of the Zero Product Property,
as well as factoring and solving quadratic equations using factoring. Emphasize that the
reason it is called the Zero Product Property is because the y-value is zero when one is finding
the x-intercept. Conclude with the fact that for example, if you graphed y = (x + 1) (x – 3) and
y = x2 – 2x – 3 on the same screen, you should only see one graph. Hence, x2 – 2x – 3 can be
factored into (x + 1) (x – 3). Once students master this concept, the teacher can have students
solve equations such as 3 = x2 – 5x + 9 using factoring. Again, once students rewrite the
equation 3 = x2 – 5x + 9 as 0 = x2 – 5x + 6, emphasize that they are ultimately looking for the
zeros of the function f(x) = x2 – 5x + 6. Teachers should explain to students the differences
between the words zeros, x-intercepts, roots, and solutions by giving the following description:
a) zeros of functions, b) x-intercepts of graphs, c) roots or solutions of equations.

Ask students to compare these graphs for the features listed.

Students are to complete the table to find the y-values and then graph the functions. Students
work with a partner to identify characteristics they observe that all of their graphs have in
common. Give students the activity Quadratic Qualities” (included in this Curriculum

symmetry, all graphs are parabolas (u-shaped, opening either up or down), all graphs have one
maximum or minimum point (vertex), and all graphs will cross the x-axis at zero, one or two
points. Once students have had time to make their own observations, discuss as a class what
they discovered. The terms parabola, line of symmetry, vertex, minimum, maximum, and
intercepts should be defined and discussed at this point.
6. Give students the “Quadratic Qualities II” activity (Curriculum Guide). This activity is an extension of “Quadratic Qualities”. Students will graph a quadratic function given a verbal
description and write verbal descriptions for the graphs in “Quadratic Qualities.”
7. Use the “Match the Graph-Equations” and “Match the Graph-Graphs” (included in this
Curriculum Guide) to play a matching game. Students will match equations that are in vertex
form with the appropriate graph. Make sure that students state the transformations before
trying to match the graphs. This can be played like the old concentration game.
8. For an extension for “Match the Graph-Equations,” ask the students to: “Write a verbal description of each function, including the vertex, domain, range, x-intercept(s), y-intercept,
minimum or maximum value. Include the intervals where the functions are decreasing and
increasing.
9. Give students a graph of a line that goes up to the right and a graph of a parabola that opens up
on the board and have students write down a list of similarities and differences. Do not tell
students anything and have them think of this list for 3-5 minutes. Once time is up, put a list
of the following words on the board and have them check if they have the following words in
their list: domain, range, x-intercepts, y-intercepts, minimum, maximum, increasing,
decreasing, symmetry, rate of change, etc. If they do not have these words, then have them use
these words to finish their similarities and differences list. Next, give students a variety of
lines and parabolas and see if their lists still hold true for these new sets of lines and parabolas
(e.g., compare a line that goes down to the right to an open down or up parabola). Have
students compare different types of parabolas as well. Once students are done with this
comparison and contrast activity, ask students the following set of questions:
1) Does a parabola that opens up have a maximum or minimum value?
2) How can you create a parabola that always has a maximum value?
3) Can a quadratic function ever have the same range as a linear function? Why or why
not?

1. Have students use the “Toothpicks and Models” activity (included in this Curriculum Guide)
to collect data and try to come up with a quadratic model for the data set.
2. The activity, “Patterns with Triangles” (included in this Curriculum Guide), introduces the
concept of how to generalize patterns using quadratic functions. Students should have already
been introduced to the topic of first and second differences. In addition, students should be
familiar with solving equations of the form x2 = a by taking the square root of both sides.
Students should be able to recognize that the number of equal triangles is the square of the
figure number. Then, students should come up with the equation that relates the number of
equal triangles to the figure number.
3. The activity, “Patterns with Stacking Pennies” (included in this Curriculum Guide), also
allows students to generalize patterns using quadratic functions. Pass out about 30 pennies (or
chips) per student. They can use this to create more figures based on the pattern they see with
the first three figures or they can just draw more figures in order to complete the table.
Coming up with an equation that relates the number of pennies to the figure number will take
the students some time. Allow them to try every possibility and have them work in groups to
come up with an equation. Let students use the graphing calculator to graph the equation that
they found and view the table feature to compare with the table that they have completed on
the activity sheet.
4. The “Leap Frog Investigation” (included in this Curriculum Guide) is an opportunity for
students to create a table of values from a situation that can be modeled by a quadratic
equation. Each student needs two groups of objects to use as a manipulative for this activity,
such as two different colors of chips or cubes, nickels and pennies, etc to distinguish the two
groups of frogs that are changing places.

will discover what type of “rectangle” will maximize area if they have a fixed perimeter. This activity was written to use pipe cleaners as a manipulative to form rectangles but other objects
can be used as well, and the key was written as if 12” pipe cleaners were used (which are available at the warehouse).
6. The activity, “Toothpick Patterns” (included in this Curriculum Guide), will let students
make a connection between a table of values and its graph. Students will compare what type
of patterns will create a linear function and what type of patterns will create a quadratic
function. Students will revisit the concepts of 1st and 2nd differences to distinguish between a
linear and quadratic function. Provide students with plenty of toothpicks so they can create
more figures if necessary.

Quadratics Inquiry Project
Teacher Notes:
Objective: After completion of the quadratics project with a group of peers, the students will be
able to successfully answer 8 out of 10 questions regarding quadratic equations in vertex form,
and the shifts of quadratic graphs in vertex form.
Day One: Students will be placed in groups of three to four, and be given a set of graphs of nine
different parabolas (see next three pages). The students will figure out a way to place the graphs
into two distinct categories, and will cut and paste them onto a large sheet of paper. They will
continue this process until they have completed it a total of four times, using different categories
each time. Once they have completed this they will begin a list of questions. These should be
questions that they believe they need to know the answers to in order to be able to change one
graph to another graph. (At the top of this paper should be their “guiding question”, “How does manipulating the equation affect the graph?”)
Day Two: Show the class a graph of y = (x)2. Their task, with a graphing calculator, is to get an
equation for each of the nine graphs. They should continue trying different equations until they
believe they are as close as possible to the picture they started with.
Day Three: Ask each group to give you their equation for a particular graph. Then graph the
original equation with all of their equations, and see which group got the closest. Each group
will note the best equation. (Students still will not see or be told what the original equations
were. If the equation is entered into y10, it will not be visible to the students.)
Day Four: Without a calculator ask students to determine which of the nine equations, which
will now be given to them (see the following pages), goes with each of the graphs they have.
They will label their graphs with these equations. When everyone is finished, check the answers
again with the graphing calculator as a class.
Day Five: Students will be given ten questions regarding how to transform one quadratic
equation in vertex form into another quadratic equation in vertex form(See following pages).
They will also be given self and peer evaluations to fill out (see the following pages). When all
evaluations have been handed in discuss if they have answered their original questions
themselves.
Day Six/ Follow Up: Discuss what a parent function is, what variables are used in the equation,
and how this relates to the vertex. At this point the students will be asserting what they know,
and will now be given the correct terminology to use. (Students can post their graphs under
categories on a large chart so that the class can establish "rules" on how changing the equation
changes the graph).

Assessment: Students can fill out a self evaluation as well as a peer evaluation. The teacher can
do two, one relating to the group aspect, while the other relates to the mathematical concepts
used. Finally there is a ten question follow up at the end (as noted on days five and six). The
teacher may choose to grade/evaluate based on different methods for your particular class.

The standard form of a quadratic function is f(x) = ax2 + bx + c. In this exploration, you will see
how your graphs will change by altering one of the coefficients a, b or c one at a time while

b) What are the similarities and differences between each of the above graphs? How does

The graph of y2 is shifted up 2 units from y1. The graph of y3 is shifted up 4 units
from y1. The graph of y4 is shifted down 3 units from y1. All four graphs have the
same width. The c is the number that tells how many units to shift from y1.
c) Find the vertex for each of the equations. What do you notice about the ordered pairs of

All of the vertices have an x-coordinate of -1 because we have fixed the a and b
-b
coefficients and the formula to find the vertex is x
. The y-value of the vertex
2a
is different because the c is not zero in y2, y3, and y4. For example, in y2 the y-value is
1, which is two more units than the y-value in y1, which is -1.
d) Without graphing the equation y = x2 + 2x – 1 on your calculator, what do you think this
graph will look like in comparison to the above graphs? What would the vertex be?
Now, graph this and check if your predictions were correct.
This graph should be shifted down 1 unit from y1 because the c value is -1. The
vertex should be (-1, -2).
e) Why do you think the c affected the graph the way it did? Be specific.
Since we fixed coefficients a and b, the c is just a constant, hence it’s just an addition to all of the y-values of all points in y1. For example, y2 = y1 + 2, y3 = y1 + 4, y4 = y1 –

b) What are the similarities and differences between each of the above graphs? How does
the b affect each graph?
The y-intercepts are all the same, which is (0, 1). The width of all the parabolas are
all the same. As the b values increase from 0 to 2, 4, and 6, the parabolas shifted left
and down. But as the b values decreased from 0 to -2, -4 and -6, the parabolas
shifted right and down. y2, y3, y4 are symmetric to y6, y7, y8 about the y-axis.
c) Find the vertex for each of the equations. What do you notice about the ordered pairs of
the vertex from each graph? How are they related to each other?
y1 = x2 + 1
vertex =
(0, 1)
y5 = x2 + 1
vertex =
(0, 1)
y2 = x2 + 2x + 1
vertex =
(-1, 0)
y6 = x2 – 2x + 1 vertex =
(1, 0)
y3 = x2 + 4x + 1
vertex =
(-2, -3)
y7 = x2 – 4x + 1 vertex =
(-2, -3)
y4 = x2 + 6x + 1 vertex =
(-3, -8)
y8 = x2 – 6x + 1 vertex =
(3, -8)
The x-coordinate of the vertex in y2 is the opposite of the x-coordinate in y6 because
the b value in y2 is the opposite of the b value in y6. The same idea is applied for y3
and y7 and y4 and y8.
d) Without graphing the equation y = x2 + 8x + 1 on your calculator, what do you think this
graph will look like in comparison to the above graphs? Now, graph this and check if
your predictions were correct.
This graph will have the same width as all of the above graphs but the vertex will be
to the left and down from y1 because the b value is 8.
e) Why do you think the b affected the graph the way it did? Be specific.
-b
Since the x-coordinate of the vertex is x
, changing the b value would affect the
2a
x-coordinate of the vertex. If b is a positive value, the x-coordinate of the vertex will
shift left because of the -b in the formula. If b is a negative value, the x-coordinate of
the vertex will shift right because of the -b in the formula. This is assuming that the
a value is positive.
3. Variations in a:
a) Given the following equations, identify a and then graph each equation on your graphing
calculator on the same screen. Sketch the graphs below.

increases, the parabola becomes more narrow.

7. Explain why these points were needed for an accurate graph?
The quadratic graph is represented by a parabola. The vertex is the lowest point
(minimum) of the graph. A parabola is U-shaped and symmetrical so any point to the
left of the vertex
has a symmetrical point to the right. The y-intercept and x-intercepts have symmetrical
points.

What observations have you made? What prediction can be made about quadratic functions?
The second differences are a constant value. If you take half of the second difference, it is
the same as the leading coefficient. If the second differences are the same, then the function
is quadratic.
Create your own quadratic and enter it into L2. Is your prediction still true?
The quadratics will vary but the prediction will hold true.
What do you think will happen with a cubic function? (A cubic function is a function in which
the largest exponent is three.)
If you have a cubic function, then the third differences will be the same.

5. What is the shape of the graph? Is this the graph of a linear or non-linear function? If it is
non-linear, is it quadratic or exponential? (Hint: Use finite differences.)
The graph’s shape is a parabola. This is a non-linear function. It is quadratic since the
differences on the 2nd level are the same.
6. Observe the values you entered in your table and the graph to reflect on the following cases:
a. width < length – The graph is increasing (area values are increasing).
b. width > length – The graph is decreasing (area values are decreasing).
7. What does the lowest (minimum) or highest (maximum) point on the graph represent? What
do you notice about the width and length at this point on the graph?
Since the parabola opens downward, it has a highest (maximum) point, which
represents the greatest area for 48 ft of rectangular fencing. The width = length.
8. Which of the following equations gives the correct area for a rectangle with a perimeter of 48
ft? Let A(x) stand for area and x stand for width.
a. A(x) = x (48 – x)
b. A(x) = x (24 – x)
c. A(x) = x (48 – 2x)
Answer: b
The area, A = width ● length. In this scenario, the total (sum) of the width and length is
always 24 ft, so if the width is x, the length would be the difference of x and 24. A
common error would be to pick “a” as the answer, but the rectangle’s perimeter is 2w +
2l and simply w + l

Students will select three ordered pairs, use the general form of the quadratic equation and
create a system of linear equations in three variables. For example if the student uses the
ordered pairs: (0, 0), (2, 12), and (4, 40), the student will generate the system:
0a 0b c 0
4a 2b c 12
16a 4b c 40
Students can solve by using linear combinations or they may choose to use matrices.
0a 0b c 0

4a 2b c 12
16a 4b c 40
multiply row 2 by - 2 and add to row three

Therefore, c = 0, a = 2, and b = 2, giving students the function f x

1. Describe any relationship (pattern) you see between the number of pennies to the figure
number. Include a description of the first and second differences.
The first difference in the number of pennies is increasing as the figure number
increases by 1 (i.e., 1st difference is 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 etc.). The second difference is
constant – it is 1.
2. Write an equation to describe the relationship between the number of pennies, p, to the
figure number, n.
p = 0.5n2 + 0.5n
3. According to your function in part (b), how many pennies are there in Figure 12?
p = 0.5(12)2 + 0.5(12) = 78 pennies
d) If a certain figure number had 36 pennies, what figure number is this?
0.5n2 + 0.5n = 36; n2 + n = 72; n2 + n – 72 = 0; (n – 8)(n + 9) = 0; n = 8, n = -9;
Figure 8 has 36 pennies

3. What type of relationship exists between the area of these rectangles and their widths?
Explain your reasoning. Your explanation should include a description of first and second
differences and how they relate to the graph.
There is a quadratic relationship between the area of a rectangle and its width, given a
fixed perimeter. If you look at the pattern that occurs in the area column, the second
differences are a constant of 2. The numbers increase at a decreasing rate until you
reach 36, then they decrease at an increasing rate. This relates to the graph because it
looks like a parabola, which increases until a maximum height then is decreasing.
4. What are the dimensions of the rectangle with no area? Label the point(s) on the graph.
There are two rectangles that could have no area. If the length is 0 and the width is 12
or if the length is 12 and the width is 0. These points would be the x-intercepts of the
graph.
5. What are the dimensions of the rectangle with maximum area? Label the point(s) on the
graph.
The rectangle with maximum area is the 6 in. 6 in. rectangle, or square. This point is
at the maximum on the graph.
6. Identify a relationship between the width and length of each rectangle from the table. Write
an expression that relates the length, l, to the width, w.
w + l = 12 or l = 12 – w
7. Using the expression from #6, write an equation for the area, A, of a rectangle in terms of the
width, w, made from your pipe cleaners.
A = l • w A = (12 – w)w
A = 12w – w2
8. If you could make a circle from your pipe cleaners, what would the radius of the circle be?
(C = 2 r)
24 in = 2 r
r = 24 in / 2
r 3.82 in
9. Calculate the area of this circle. (A = r2)
A = (3.82 in)2 A = 45.85 in2
10. Compare the area of this circle with the areas of the rectangles. What conclusions can you
make about creating maximum area with a given perimeter?
The area of this circle is more than the area of any of the rectangles. If the shape
must be rectangular, then a square maximizes area.
11. Think of a rectangle made from 60 inches of pipe cleaners.
a) What are the dimensions of the rectangle that has maximum area?
The square that is 15 in 15 in
b) Write an equation for the area of a rectangle made from these pipe cleaners given the
width, w.
A = (30 – w)w
or
A = 30w – w2
or
A = (60 – 2w) 12 w

Ball Bounce Activity
Answer Key
Materials:
CBR, TI-82 or TI-83 Calculator, Link Cable, Ball
The activity works much better with large balls. Basketballs, volleyballs, and soccer balls
work well. Also, the play balls available in the CPS warehouse work very well.
INSTRUCTIONS:
This is obviously much easier if everyone has the same kind of calculator, but once you get
to step 4 everything works the same way.
A. Setting up the calculator and ranger
1. If you are using a TI-83 Plus, go to step 3.
If you are using a TI-82 or TI-83: Select PRGM on the keypad. If the program RANGER is
on the list select it and go to step 4.
2. If RANGER is not on the list, connect your calculator to the Ranger. On the calculator,
select 2nd Link. (It’s on the X key). Use the right arrow to highlight RECEIVE and hit
ENTER. The calculator will display Waiting… Open the RANGER and push the button 82/83. The calculator should display Receiving then RANGER PRGM and then DONE.
Go to step 4.
3. On the TI-83 Plus, choose APPS and choose CBL/CBR. (If it is not on the list, follow the
instructions for the TI-82 or TI-83.) Press any key. On the next screen select RANGER. Go
the step 4.
4. Hit ENTER. Select #3 Applications. When prompted for UNITS, select #2 FEET. Choose
#3 Ball Bounce.
B. Ball Bounce.
The students should hold the ball by placing hands on the side of the ball. To release it,
they just spread their hands. This keeps the hands out of the way of the motion detector
and eliminates the problem of having an initial velocity from throwing the ball down.
1. Be sure that the ball is bounced on a smooth, level surface. Do not allow anything to obstruct
the path between the Ranger and the ball while the data is being collected.
2. Follow the instructions on the calculator.
3. Your data should look like a series of parabolas, decreasing in height. Decide if you want to
try again or not.
4. Hit ENTER. If you did not like your graph, select #5 REPEAT SAMPLE and go back to
step #B2. If you like your graph, go to step 5.
A good graph will definitely look parabolic. If the data looks jagged or linear, the
students should repeat the data collection.

If you want all students to have the data on their calculators, you must link the

ANALYSIS:
The ranger program automatically switches the data so that it displays the distance from
the floor rather than the distance from the motion detector. Most students never question
this, but once in a while someone notices.

2. The ball was bouncing straight up and down. Why is the graph a series of parabolas? What
force makes the ball fall after each bounce? Why do the heights of the bounces decrease for
each bounce?
As time passes, the ball hits the ground and bounces up. It is slowing down as it reaches
its maximum height, stops at the top, and falls back down at an increasing speed.
Gravity makes the ball fall after each bounce. Friction makes the bounces decrease.

6. Guess a number for a and enter y = a(x – h)2 + k into the y= menu of your calculator, using
the vertex for h and k and your guess for a. Check your guess by graphing your equation
with the stat plot. If your parabola does not match your stat plot, make another guess for a.
How does the steepness of your graph compared to the steepness of the statplot help you
make your next guess?
If the graph is not as steep as the statplot, the absolute value of a should be increased.
If the graph is steeper than the statplot, the absolute value of a should be decreased.
Keep guessing until the graphs are nearly identical. Give your equation here.
Answers vary
Simplify your previous answer so that it is in form y = ax2 + bx + c.
Answers vary
To check your work, graph this equation to see if it coincides with the vertex form of the
equation.
7. The data from your parabola are stored in L1 and L2. Your calculator can find an equation
that models your data. Such an equation is called a regression. To calculate a quadratic
regression, push STAT and arrow to the right to highlight CALC. Choose QuadReg. DO
NOT PUSH ENTER. With QuadReg on the calculator, on the same line, enter L1, L2. (L1
is 2nd 1 and L2 is 2nd 2, so that the command looks like QuadReg L1, L2. Press enter. The
comma is the key above the 7.) Write the equation here.
Answers vary
Enter the equation into Y2 and graph. How well does it match your data?
If you wish to do this in one step, on the QuadReg command add Y1 at the end, so that the
command is QuadReg L1, L2, Y2. You will find Y1 in VARS. On the TI-83, choose VARS,
arrow to YVARS, select #1 function and select #2 Y2. On the TI-82, choose 2nd YVARS, #1
function, #2 Y2.
8. The acceleration of gravity, g, is -32ft/sec2. The formula for a falling object is
y = 12 gt2 + v0t + s0, where g is the acceleration of gravity, v0 is the initial velocity, and s0 is
the initial height. Can you make any connections to the equation of your parabola?
The value for a should be about -16, b should be close to 0, and c should be the height of
the selected bounce.

The path of the water from a water fountain approximates a parabola. In this activity, you
will find an equation to model the path of the water.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. You will need to go to the water fountain to gather your data. One person will turn on the
fountain while another person bends the wire or pipe cleaner to approximate the path of the
water. The model should resemble a parabola.
2. Draw a pair of axes on a piece of graph paper and then tape your model of the water flow to
the graph paper. Make sure that the vertex of your parabola is on the y-axis and that the
parabola opens down.
3. Pick ten points on your parabola and estimate the order pairs, being careful to choose points
from both sides of the parabola and the vertex. Write them on the graph and record them

Teacher Notes:
Factoring Polynomials
Factoring, a method of breaking down polynomials into their parts, can be used to solve
Quadratic equations. Follow the steps listed below to solve the quadratic ax2 + bx + c = 0; a 0.
Step 1 - Factor out any common factors.
Step 2 - Factor the remaining expression by determining which two integers when added = b,
and when multiplied = c.
Step 3 - Use the Principle of Zero Products, if ab = 0 then a = 0 or b = 0, to find the roots.
Example: Find the roots of 2x2+ 10x + 12 = 0 by factoring.
Step 1 - Factor out the common factor of 2.
2( x2 + 5 x + 6) = 0
Step 2 - Determine which integers when added = 5 and when multiplied = 6 by examining
the factor pairs of 6: 1, 6; -1, -6; 2, 3; -2 , -3. The sum of the factor pair 2, 3 is 5.
The quadratic equation factors as:
2( x + 2)( x + 3) = 0
Step 3 - Using the Principle of Zero Products we conclude that either 2 = 0, which is not
true, or x + 2 = 0 or x + 3 = 0. Solving these equations we find that the solutions
to the quadratic equation 2x2 + 10x + 12 = 0 are x = - 2 and x = -3.
When simplifying the quotient of two trinomials, factor two primes and cancel (numerator paired
to denominator) common factors.

The Algebra 2 textbook covers solving quadratic equations by graphing, factoring, completing
the square, and the quadratic formula. You may wish to review multiplying binomials and
factoring quadratics. The factoring worksheets can be used as additional review; however, the
order is set up so that it lends itself to the “ac” method. The “ac” method utilizes factoring by grouping.

Roots – Zeros
The roots or zeros of a polynomial function are those values of x that make the equation true
when set equal to zero, i.e. f(x) = 0 as shown below. Zero is the term used to describe the
solution of a polynomial function and root is the term used to describe the solution of a
polynomial equation.
f(x) = x2 + 5x + 6,
set f(x) = 0 giving the equation: x2 + 5x + 6 = 0,
factor: (x + 3)(x + 2) = 0
Solve: x = -3, x = -2
-3 and -2 are the roots of the equation.
Notice that the polynomial above has a degree of 2 and two roots.
Assume you want to factor 3x2 + 10x – 8.
1. Multiply the quadratic term and the constant term.
(3x2 -8 = -24x2)
2. Find the factors of product -24x2 that provide a sum of the linear term10x.
(12x + (-2x) = 10x)
3. Replace the linear term in the original expression with the factors of -24x2 that provide a
sum of 10x.
(3x2 + 12x – 2x – 8)
4. Factor the expression by grouping:
3x( x 4) 2( x 4)
( x 4)(3x 2)
This process will work with any quadratic expression!

http://illuminations.nctm.org/Activity.aspx?id=4089
This geometric demonstration show the value of the square of the binomial (a + b).
11) An easy way to find the common monomial factor of a polynomial is to write the prime
factorization of each monomial and then identify the factors that are common to every
monomial and factor it out. Arrange students into groups of three and give each group a
polynomial that has three monomials. Each student takes one monomial and writes the
prime factorization for it. The group then compares the monomials and selects any prime
factors that are common to all three. The common factor will be the product of the selected
factors. Give each group one card. When the group has finished working with a polynomial
they can trade cards with another group. Have the groups continue trading cards until all
groups have found the common factor for all of the polynomials. Use the “Polynomial
Cards for Use with Prime Factorization” (included in this Curriculum Guide).
12) Use Algebra Tiles to model how to “Find the Greatest Common Monomial Factor Using
Algebra Tiles” (included in this Curriculum Guide). Work through several problems on the
overhead, while students work the same problems at their desks using the tiles (a recording
sheet with problems is in this Curriculum Guide). Students should write, in algebraic form,
what they are doing with the manipulatives to encourage making the connection between the
concrete and abstract models. Have students count out Algebra Tiles to represent the
polynomial to be factored. Students then arrange the tiles into a rectangle. Students should
be led, if necessary, to arrange the tiles into the most compact rectangle possible, this will
ensure that one of the factors is the greatest common factor. See the following example:
To factor 2x2 + 6x, first count out 2 x2-tiles and 6 x-tiles. Then arrange them into as
compact a rectangle as possible.
Then, look at the width and length of the rectangle to find the factors. The width is 2x
and the length is x + 3, therefore 2x2 + 6x can be rewritten as 2x(x + 3). This polynomial
could also have been arranged into a rectangle with length and width of x and 2x + 6,
however that would not have given the greatest common factor of 2x as one of the
dimensions.

13) Another method for factoring polynomials is factoring by grouping. Sometimes,
polynomials can be factored by grouping terms. A polynomial may have a common factor
that is a binomial. For example, 6x2 + 3x – 4x – 2 can be rewritten as 3x (2x + 1) – 2(2x + 1)
where 2x + 1 is a common factor that is a binomial. We can use the Distributive Property to
write 3x (2x + 1) – 2(2x + 1) as (2x + 1) (3x – 2). You can visualize this factoring procedure
with a geometric model. The model shows the same total area using the two different
arrangements. To make a model of 6x2 + 3x – 4x – 2, select Algebra Tiles and arrange them
into a rectangle. Then look at the width and length of the rectangle to find the factors.
These are the same factors found when factoring by grouping.
14) Use “Polynomial Cards for Factoring by Grouping” (included in this Curriculum Guide),
so that students can work with a partner to factor and model the problems. Students should
also find the simplified product for each polynomial (e.g., 6x2 + 3x – 4x – 2 = 6x2 – x – 2).
This will enable students to take polynomials in a simplified form and rewrite them so that
they can be factored using the grouping method.
15) Use “Drawkcab Problems” (included in this Curriculum Guide): Another method for
factoring trinomials of the form ax2 + bx + c is to work the multiplication process backwards.
This method incorporates the factoring by grouping method. To help students begin
developing an understanding of the process involved for this method, give students a
trinomial that can be factored. When using Algebra Tiles, students are required to add zero
pairs to make the product rectangle.
16) Students will complete the activity “Discovering the Difference of Two Squares” (included
in this Curriculum Guide) to discover the pattern for factoring a difference of two squares.
17) Have the students use “Factoring Using the Greatest Common Factor” activity (included
in this Curriculum Guide).
18) Have the students use “Factoring by Grouping”, and the “Factoring Worksheet” activities (included in this Curriculum Guide).
19) Have students practice working backwards using Algebra Tiles to make zero pairs to make
the product rectangle.
Factor the following trinomial: x2 – 2x – 15.
Step One – Place tiles that represent the trinomial on an Algebra Tile Mat. Place the
unit tiles so that they form a rectangle. This will allow you to finish the larger
rectangle using zero pairs of tiles
Step Two – add zero pairs of Algebra Tiles (those tiles are outlined) so that they
complete the rectangle. The sides of the rectangle are the factors for the trinomial.

Step One
Step Two
The factors would be x + 3 and x – 5.
Once students feel comfortable adding in the zero pairs, use the same trinomials to develop the
steps for factoring by working backwards. Show students an example (see below) of
multiplying a pair of factors that were found using the Algebra Tiles.
(x + 3)(x – 5)
x – 5x + 3x – 15
x2 – 2x – 15

Encourage students to notice the relationship between the coefficients of the x terms in the
second two steps. Once students have realized that the coefficient of the x term in the product is
found by adding or subtracting numbers that are a factor pair for the product of the coefficient of
x2 and the constant term, they can be taught the following general steps for factoring a trinomial
of the form ax2 + bx + c.
To factor 2x2 – 5x – 12 (a trinomial of the form ax2 + bx + c) follow these steps:
a. Find the product of (ax2) and (c)
(ax2)(c) = (2x2) (-12) = -24x2
b. Find a pair of factors of (a) (c) (x2) that have the sum of bx
Factor pairs
Sum
(-8x)(3x) = -24x2
-8x + 3x = -5x
c. Rewrite the polynomial, expressing bx as the sum of a factor pair.
2x2 – 8x + 3x – 12
30)
d. Use factoring by grouping to remove the GCF from the first two terms, and the GCF
from the last two terms. Then use the distributive property to write as a product of two
binomial factors.
2x2 – 8x + 3x – 12 = 2x(x – 4) + 3(x – 4) = (2x + 3) (x – 4)

Answer Key
1. Given a rectangle with an area of 45 cm2, find the dimensions of the rectangle if the length is 4
cm more than the width.
w
w+4
45 = w(w + 4)
45=w2 + 4w
w2 + 4w – 45 = 0
(w + 9)(w – 5) = 0
w = (-9, 5)
The width cannot be negative so w = 5.
The length is w + 4 = 5 + 4 = 9
2. Given a right triangle with an area of 16 in2, find the height of the triangle if it is twice the
length of the base.
16 = 12 b • 2b
16 = b2
4=b
The base cannot be negative, so the height is 8.
2b
b
3. Given a circle with an area of 30 m2, find the radius and circumference of the circle.
30 = r2
C=2 r

30/ = r
C = 2 (3.09)
r = 3.09
C = 19.4
4. Rectangle #1 has a length that is 5 less than twice a number and a width of 4 more than that
number. Rectangle #2 has a length of 1 less than the number and the width is the number. Find
the value of the number if the area of Rectangle #1 is equal to the area of Rectangle #2.

x = 2.9, -6.9
The dimensions of a rectangle cannot be negative so the only reasonable answer is 2.9

What do you notice about the x-intercepts and the solutions you obtained by factoring?
The x-coordinates of the x-intercepts are the same as the solutions obtained when solving for
x. When solving the equations, you are trying to determine which x-values will give you a yvalue of zero. All x-intercepts will have a y-coordinate of zero. Therefore, when solving an
equation, the solutions correspond to the x-intercepts.
The terms zeros, roots, and solutions are used interchangeably when solving equations.
The
x-intercepts
of the graph of a function are the
solutions
of the equation f x 0 . These numbers are called the
zeros
of the
function. Solutions are also called
roots

Note: In the previous topic students solved by factoring, and taking square roots. In this topic,
students will solve by graphing and the use of the Quadratic Formula.
The Algebra 2 textbook covers solving quadratic equations by graphing, factoring, completing
the square, and the quadratic formula. You may wish to review multiplying binomials and
factoring quadratics.
Quadratic Formula:
Another algebraic method of finding the roots of a quadratic equation is the quadratic formula:
±√
𝑥=
and 𝑎 ≠ 0.
, where a, b and c represent the same values as the a, b and c in y = ax2 + bx + c

The nature of the solutions of a quadratic function can be determined by examining the value of
the discriminant; b2 – 4ac.

b2 – 4ac > 0
b2 – 4ac = 0
b2 – 4ac < 0
Number of Roots

0 real roots. The roots are imaginary numbers.
The section on solving quadratics by using the quadratic formula includes both real and complex
solutions. You may wish to select problems with real solutions first. The complex number
system is discussed in chapter 5, section 9 of the Algebra 2 text. The mode on the TI-84 can be
changed to work with imaginary numbers. To change the mode from Real to Complex, press the
MODE key, move your cursor down to Real, press the right arrow key one time, then press
ENTER. Upon completion of the Complex Number section, you will need to resume work using
the quadratic formula.

Complex Numbers
Complex numbers take the standard form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers and i, the
1 . In a complex number, a is the real part and bi is the complex
imaginary part is equal to
part, thus real numbers are actually complex numbers with b = 0.
Powers of i
The values of the powers of i repeat in a regular pattern every 4th power.
i 1= i

To find the value of a power of i greater than 4, divide the exponent by 4 and examine the
remainder. If the remainder is:
1234-
the power of i has the same value as i1 which is equal to i.
the power of i has the same value as i2 which is equal to 1.
the power of i has the same value as i3 which is equal to i.
the power of i has the same value as i4 which is equal to 1.
Example:
Find the value of i22.

Operations on Complex Numbers
When adding complex numbers, add the real parts and add the imaginary parts as shown in
example 1 and example 2 below.
Example 1:
(a + bi) + (c + di) = (a + c) + (b + d)i
Example 2:
(3 + 4i) + (6 + 2i) = 9 + 6i
To multiply complex numbers, use the same method as you would use when multiplying two
binomials.

Example 1: (a + bi)(c + di) = ac + adi + bci + bdi2 = ac + (ad + bc)i + -(bd), since i = -1
Example 2: (2 + 3i)(4 + 5i) = 8 + 10i +12i + 15i2 = 8 + 22i + -15 = -7 + 22i
Complex Conjugates
The conjugate of a complex number is that number by which you can multiply a complex
number to obtain a real number. The conjugate of a + bi is a – bi. Just as in the case of a
difference of squares, multiplying a complex number by its conjugate causes the middle term
containing the complex part to drop out leaving the real parts.
(a + bi)(a – bi) = a2 – abi + abi – (bi)2 = a2 + b2
When the denominator of a fraction is a complex number, multiplying the numerator and
denominator by the complex conjugate, will rationalize the denominator as shown below.

Completing the Square
When a quadratic with real roots doesn’t appear to be factorable, it can be forced to factoring by completing the square. Completing the square converts the left hand side of the equation into a
perfect square trinomial. After factoring, the solution to the quadratic can be found by taking the
square root of each side of the equation and solving for the variable as shown in the general case
and the example below.
To complete the square of the quadratic
subtract c from each side
x2 + bx + c = 0,
x2 + bx = -c,

Please note that if a is not equal to one, it must be factored out of the equation prior to
making the left hand side into a perfect square trinomial. This value must be taken into
consideration when adding it to both sides of the equation. (See the example below.)
Find the roots of the quadratic 2x2 + 4x – 9 = 0 by completing the square.
subtract - 9 from each side of the equation
2x2 + 4x = 9,

Students use the incorrect values for a, b, and c in the quadratic formula, because they do
not put the equations in standard form first.
Students do not understand how to complete the square for a perfect square trinomial.
Students make mistakes with rational numbers.
Students incorrectly multiply polynomials; they believe they can just distribute the
exponent through the binomial, or when multiplying two different polynomials they
forget to multiply the inside terms.
Students make mistakes when finding the conjugate of a complex number; they often
multiply by the same binomial instead, but still cancel out the middle terms, therefore
they get the wrong sign on the last term.
Students do not recognize the pattern with imaginary numbers.

This website provides practice for completing the square.
2) Students will complete the “Sorting Activity” (included in this Curriculum Guide). In this
activity students will look at the different ways a quadratic equation can be represented (e.g.
vertex form, trinomial, factored, vertex form, as a parabola). This activity can be used as a
precursor to the “Completing the Square” activity. It is important at the conclusion of the activity to emphasize that completing the square makes it easier to: (i) determine the
minimum value of a quadratic with a positive leading term; (ii) find the roots; and (iii) draw
the graph.
3) Have students complete the activity “Learning How to Complete the Square
“Completely”” (included in this Curriculum Guide). The activity is designed to emphasize
the two primary benefits for using the technique of “Completing the Square” to simplify/solve a quadratic equation. In particular, it will allow students to (i) locate the

vertex form which will aid students in finding the roots.
4) Have the students use the “Transformations and Completing the Square Notes” and “Completing the Square and Transformations Practice” worksheets (included in this
Curriculum Guide). The students will be able to graph any quadratic using transformations.
The students will also understand how the vertex of a parabola relates to the vertex form of a
quadratic equation.
5) Students should complete “Discovery of Completing the Square” (included in this

Answer Key
1. In words, explain what is the same and what is different about the equations (x – 2)2 = 25 and
x2 – 4x + 4 = 25.
The equations look different, but algebraically they are the same because
(x – 2)2 = x2 – 4x + 4 when multiplied out. Also, the roots are the same.
2. x2 – 4x + 4 is called what kind of trinomial? Answer:__perfect square trinomial_________
3. (x – 2)2 is called what kind of binomial?
Answer:__binomial squared_______________
4. List a few things you can say about the graph of y = (x – 2)2 .
(i) it is a parabola
(iii) minimum value at y = 0
(v) when x = 2, then y = 0 (e.g. x-intercept = 2)
(ii) it has the shape of y = x2
(iv) it is symmetric about the line x = 2
5. Will (x – 2)2 ever be negative? Explain.
No, because the whole binomial is being squared and a ‘squared’ number will always be positive.
6. Will (x + 2)2 ever be negative? Explain.
No, because the whole binomial is being squared and a ‘squared’ number will always be positive.
7. List a few things about the graph of y = (x – 2)2 + 3.

understand why they work).
Not giving students an adequate amount of
think time to come up with solutions or
processes to solve a problem.

task descriptors can be used primarily as you develop your lesson to make sure your classroom tasks help cultivate the mathematical practices. The
teacher descriptors, however, can be used during or after the lesson to evaluate how the task was carried out. The column titled “proficient” describes the expected norm for task and teacher action while the column titled “exemplary” includes all features of the proficient column and more. A teacher who is exemplary is meeting criteria in both the proficient and exemplary columns.

extending the properties of integer exponents to those values, allowing for a notation for
radicals in terms of rational exponents. For example, we define 51/3 to be the cube root of
5 because we want (51/3)3 = 5(1/3)3 to hold, so (51/3)3 must equal 5.

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.*
F – 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

37) Understand independence and conditional probability and use them to interpret data.
S – 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”).
S – 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.
S – 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.
S – CP 4: Construct and interpret two-way frequency tables of data when two categories
are associated with each object being classified. Use the two-way table as a sample
space to decide if events are independent and to approximate conditional probabilities.
For example, collect data from a random sample of students in your school on their
favorite subject among math, science, and English. Estimate the probability that a
randomly selected student from you school will favor science given that the student is in
the tenth grade. Do the same for other subjects and compare the results.

Outcome: an outcome is the result of an experiment. The set of all possible outcomes of an
experiment is the sample space.
Two events that have no common outcomes are mutually exclusive events. If two mutually
exclusive events are the only ones that can possibly occur, we say these events are
complementary.
The complement of event A is Ā, where Ā represents the event that A does not occur. If
A and Ā are complementary events, P(A) + P(Ā) = 1. The probability of the complement of A is P(A ) = 1 – P(A).
Example: If P(A) = 0.65 then P(A ) is 0.35.

Notes, explaining complementary events, are given on this site:
http://www.sunshinemaths.com/topics/probability/complementary-events/
Complement of an event – suppose A is an event in the universal set U, the complement
of A (“not A”) consists of all the outcomes in U that are not in A. For example, if A is the
event that two of three children are boys, then A c (complement of A) is the event that
there are either zero, one, or three boys.
For more info: http://www.mathgoodies.com/lessons/vo16/complement.html
http://mathwordscom/c/complement_event.htm
When knowledge of whether an event occurs affects the probability of a second event, the events
are dependent. If knowledge of the first event does not affect the probability of the second, the
events are independent.
If A and B are independent events, then the probability that both A and B occur is P(A
B) = P(A) P(B).
Example: If P(A) = 1/3 and P(B) =1/4 then P(A B) = ¼ .
A and B are independent events if and only if P(A and B) = P(A) P(B).

Conditional probability results when the probability of event B depends on event A.
The conditional probability that B occurs and A has occurred, can be written as P(B A).
For events A and B, P(A and B) = P(A) P(B A).
P(A/B) = P(A and B)/P(B) where P(B) 0.

Probabilities can be calculated for simple single events such as figuring the chance of rolling a 3
on a fair number cube, or for a combination of events which are called compound events. There
are two types of compound events. The first type, independent events are events where the
outcome of one has no effect on the outcome of the other. The second type of compound events
are ones in which the outcome of one event has an effect on the outcome of another event. These
types are known as dependent events.

This teacher introduction is not intended to cover all of the learning goals, but rather it is a
supplement to the textbook. It is a tool to help with topics that may be unfamiliar, involve
technology, or are not covered in depth in the textbook.
Different Kinds of Probability Situations
(Notes for teachers. This has been adapted from the book, Mathematics Is)
As probability problems become more complex, it often helps to analyze them in terms of “kinds of events.” Mutually exclusive events, dependent events, and independent events will be
considered. For each type of event, a rather informal description (not a precise mathematical
definition) will be given and then some problems in which the particular type of event is
involved will be analyzed.
PROBLEM: A card is drawn at random from a deck of 52 playing cards. Find the probability
that is a jack or a queen.
SOLUTION: Use the obvious sample space where n(S) = 52. Let E1 be the event of “drawing a jack”;; therefore, E1 { js, jh, jd , jc} . Let E 2 be the event of “drawing a queen”;; thus, and it can be determined that:
E 2 {qs, qh, qd , qc} . Therefore, E1 E 2

In the previous problem the events E1 and E 2 are called mutually exclusive events. In other
words, if one card is drawn, then the events of “drawing a jack” and “drawing a queen” cannot both occur. Mathematically, this means that E1 E 2
. The following property is very
helpful when working with mutually exclusive events.
Property: If E1 and E 2 are mutually exclusive events ( E1 E 2
), then
P( E1 E 2) P( E1) P( E 2) . This property extends to any finite number of mutually exclusive
events.

The concepts of dependent and independent events can be explained easily in terms of an
example. Consider the “jar problem” again. Suppose there are 5 white, 7 green, and 9 red marbles in a jar. Now consider two sequences of events as follows:
(1) Pull out a marble and then, without replacing it, pull out a second marble.
(2) Pull out a marble and then replace it and pull out a second marble.
(These two situations are often referred to as “drawing without replacement” and “drawing with
replacement”.) In the first situation (without replacement), what happens on the second draw depends on what happens on the first draw. Thus, the events are dependent in (1). In the second
situation, since the first marble drawn is being replaced, what occurs on the second draw is not
dependent upon what happens on the first draw. Thus, the events are independent in (2). The
following two properties indicate how probabilities dealing with dependent and independent
events can be calculated.
Property: If E1 and E 2 are dependent events, then the probability of E1 and E 2 occurring is
given by P( E1) P( E1 / E 2) where P( E1 / E 2) represents the probability of E 2 occurring given
that E1 has occurred.
Property: If E1 and E 2 are independent events, then the probability of E1 and E 2 occurring
is given by P( E1) P( E 2) .
The following examples should help clarify the exact meaning of these properties.
PROBLEM: A jar contains 5 white, 7 green, and 9 red marbles. If two marbles are drawn in
succession, without replacement, find the probability that they are both white.
SOLUTION: First it is necessary to recognize that the events are dependent. The probability

PROBLEM: A jar contains 5 white, 7 green, and 9 red marbles. If two marbles are drawn in
succession, with replacement, find the probability that they are both white.

probability that the first marble drawn is white is

PROBLEM: Toss a pair of dice three times. Find the probability of getting a pair of 6’s all three times.

of getting a pair of 6’s on one toss is
, for three independent tosses

Now consider a few problems for which the concept of “mutually exclusive” is used, along with the ideas of dependent and independent events. As will be seen, some rather complex problems
can be analyzed easily by combining these ideas.
PROBLEM: A jar contains 5 white, 7 green, and 9 red marbles. If two marbles are drawn in
succession, without replacement, find the probability that one of them is white and one of them is
green.
SOLUTION: The drawing of a white and green marble can occur in two different ways, namely,
(1) by drawing a white marble first and then a green marble second, or (2) by drawing a green
marble first and a white marble second. Thus, the events (1) and (2) are mutually exclusive, each
of which is broken into dependent events of “first draw” and “second draw”. Therefore, the probability can be computed as follows:

on the second draw. These are mutually exclusive events and each is broken into independent
events of “first draw” and “second draw” with replacement. Therefore the probability can be 4

nickel, or (2) a tail on the penny and a head on the nickel. Thus, the probability of getting one

Misconceptions/Challenges:

Students forget to subtract 1 from the number of possibilities each time they perform
multiplication using the counting principal for dependent events.
Students do not understand that the simple probability of two or more independent events
can be found by adding the individual probabilities.

The Titanic 1
Answer Key
1. Calculate the following probabilities:
a. The probability of the passenger being in first class is the number of all first class
passengers divided by total number of passengers , that is P(passenger being in
first class)=3241317≈0.246 b. The probability that the passenger survived is the number of all passengers who
survived divided by total number of passengers, that is P(passenger
survived)=5001317≈0.380 c. This is the fraction of all passengers that are both in first class and survived,
which is P[(passenger was in first class) and (passenger
survived)]=2011317≈0.153 d. This is a conditional probability. To find the probability that the passenger
survived, given this passenger was in first class, we calculate the fraction of first
class passenger who survived, that is P(passenger survived|passenger was in first
class)=201324≈0.620. e. This is a conditional probability: P(passenger was in first class|passenger
survived). We can calculate it as the fraction of surviving passengers who were in
first class, which is 201500≈0.402 f. This is a conditional probability: P(passenger was in third class|passenger
survived). We can calculate it as the fraction of surviving passengers who were in
third class, which is 181500≈0.362 2. Even though in both parts (a.iii) and (a.iv) we have the same numerator (201), in part
(a.iii) the sample space consists of all the passengers, but in part (a.iv) the sample space is
restricted to only the first class passengers. Since in part (a.iv) we divide by a smaller
number, the answer in part (a.iv) is larger than in part (a.iii).
3. In both parts (a.v) and (a.vi) the sample space is restricted to all the passengers who
survived. But since among that group there were more first class than third class
passengers, the answer to part (a.v) is larger than the answer to part (a.vi).

4. There are many questions that can be answered using the given table. Possible answers
may include, but are not limited, to the following:
o
If one of the passengers is randomly selected, what is the probability that this
passenger was in second class?
Answer: P(passenger was in second class)=2841317≈0.216.
o
If one of the passengers is randomly selected, what is the probability that this
passenger was in second class and survived?
Answer: P[(passenger was in second class) and (passenger survived)]=1181317≈0.090..
o
If one of the passengers is randomly selected from among the second class
passengers, what is the probability that this passenger survived?
Answer: P(passenger survived | passenger was in second class)=118284≈0.415.
o
If one of the passengers who survived is randomly selected, what is the
probability that this passenger was in second class?
Answer: P(passenger was in second class | passenger survived)=118500≈0.236 CCSSM II

1. We use the fact, that two events A and B are independent, if P(A|B)=P(A). In this case, we
compare the conditional probability P(passenger survived|passenger was in first class) with
the probability P(passenger survived).
The probability of surviving, given that the passenger was in first class, is the fraction of first
class passengers who survived. That is, we restrict the sample space to only first class passengers
to obtain P(passenger survived|passenger was in first class)=201324≈0.620. The probability that the passenger survived is the number of all passengers who survived divided
by the total number of passengers, that is P(passenger survived)=5001317≈0.380. Since 0.620≠0.380, the two given events are not independent. Moreover, we can say that being a
passenger in first class increased the chances of surviving.
Note, that we could also compare P(passenger was in first class/passenger
survived)=201500≈0.402 and P(passenger was in first class)=3241317≈0.246. Again, since
0.402≠0.246, the two events are not independent. 2. Using similar reasoning as in part (a), we compare P(passenger survived|passenger was in
third class)=181709≈0.255, and P(passenger survived)=5001317≈0.380. Since 0.255≠0.380, the two given events are not independent. Moreover, we can see that being a passenger in
third class decreased the chances of being rescued.
3. One way to answer this question is to compare the probabilities of surviving for randomly
chosen passengers in first, second, and third class, respectively. To do this, we calculate the
following conditional probabilities:
o
In part (a) we calculated that P(passenger survived|passenger was in first
class)=201324≈0.620. o
The probability that the passenger survived, given that this passenger was in second
class, is the fraction of passengers in second class who survived, that is P(passenger
survived|passenger was in second class)=118284≈0.415. o
In part (b) we calculated that P(passenger survived|passenger was in third
class)=181709≈0.255. CCSSM II

Comparing these probabilities we can say that not all passengers aboard the Titanic had the same
chance of surviving. More precisely, the chance of surviving depended on the class, with the first
class passengers having the greatest, and the third class passengers having the smallest chance of
being rescued.
Note that there are different probabilities we could use to answer this question (for example we
could compare probability that a randomly selected passenger survived P(passenger
survived)=5001317≈0.380 with the conditional probability P(passenger survived|passenger was
in first class)=201324≈0.620). However, the conclusion should always CCSSM II

Cards and Independence
Answer Key
The answers and commentary for this task is provided at the website:
http://www.illustrativemathematics.org/illustrations/943
Solution: Solution 1
To test if the two events A and B are independent we check whether P(A and B)=P(A)⋅P(B).
1. Out of the six cards, there are three with a black symbol, two with a 5, and only one card
has a 5 and a black symbol. Thus we have
P(B)=36=12
P(F)=26=13
P(B and F)=16
Since P(B)⋅P(F)=12⋅13=16=P(B and F), the two events B and F are independent.
2. Out of the six cards, there are three with a black symbol, and two with an 8, both of them
with a black symbol. Thus we have
P(B)=36=12
P(E)=26=13
P(B and E)=26=13.
Since P(B)⋅P(E)=12⋅13=16≠13=P(B and E), the two events B and E are not independent.
Solution: Solution 2
To test if the two events A and B are independent we check whether P(A|B)=P(A).
1. Out of the six cards, there are two with a 5, so P(F)=26=13. Out of the three cards with
black symbols, there is only one with a 5, so P(F|B)=13.
Since P(F|B)=P(F), the two events B and F are independent.
2. Out of the six cards, there are two with an 8, so P(E)=26=13 . Out of the three cards with
black symbols, there are two with an 8, so P(E|B)=23 .
Since P(E|B)≠P(E) , the two events B and E are not independent.

1. Given
o
P(rain)=.55,
o
P(lightning)=.2, and
o
P(lightning and rain)=.15.
Two events are independent if P(lightning and rain)=P(lightning)⋅P(rain).
Since P(lightning)⋅P(rain)=≠(.55)⋅(.2)=.11.15=P( lightning and rain) the two events are not
independent.
2. Given
o
P(rain)=.6,
o
P(lightning)=.15, and
o
P(lightning | rain)=.2.
We need to find P(rain and lightning). We use the formula P(lightning | rain)=P(lightning and
rain)P(rain).
Since we have two of the three pieces of information, we have to solve for the third one.
Multiplying both sides of the equation by P(rain) we get
P(lightning and rain)=P(lightning | rain)⋅P(rain)=(.2)⋅(.6)=.12
Answer: There is a 12% chance of both rain and lightning today.

Commentary
This is the last task in the series of three, which ask related questions, but use different levels of
scaffolding. This task uses a more detailed version of the data table. This is a very open ended
task. It poses the question, but the students have to formulate a plan to answer it, and use the
two-way table of data to find all the necessary probabilities. The special emphasis is on
developing their understanding of conditional probability and independence. This task could be
used as a group activity where students cooperate to formulate a plan of how to answer the
question and calculate the appropriate probabilities. The task could lead to extended class
discussions about the different ways of using probability to justify general claims (i.e. Can we
really say that first class passengers had a larger chance of being rescued? Why or why not?
What was the role of gender in the rescue procedures?)
The other tasks in this series are S-CP.1,4,6 The Titanic 1 and S-CP.3,4,5,6 The Titanic 2.
Solution
Note that there are different ways we could answer this question. First, we ignore the gender and
compare the probability of surviving for a randomly chosen passenger in first class, to the
probabilities of surviving for randomly selected second and third class passengers, respectively.
To do this, we calculate the following conditional probabilities.
The probability that the passenger survived, given that the this passenger was in first
class, is the fraction of first class passengers who survived, that is P(passenger
survived|passenger was in first class)=201324≈0.620. The probability that the passenger survived, given that the this passenger was in second
class, is the fraction of second class passengers who survived, that is P(passenger
survived|passenger was in second class)=118284≈0.415. The probability that the passenger survived, given that the this passenger was in third
class, is the fraction of second class passengers who survived, that is P(passenger
survived|passenger was in third class)=181709≈0.255.

These probabilities suggest that the chance of surviving depended on the class, with the first
class passengers having the greatest, and the third class passengers having the smallest chance of
surviving. Now we want to investigate if what appears to point to class discrimination could be
explained in terms of gender of passengers.
First, we ignore the class and take into consideration only the gender of the passengers. We can
calculate the following conditional probabilities to compare the probabilities of surviving for a
randomly selected child, woman, and man.
The probability that the passenger survived, given that the this passenger was a child, is
the fraction of children who survived, that is:
P(passengersurvived|passengerwasachild)=56107≈0.523. The probability that the passenger survived, given that the she was a woman, is the
fraction of women who survived, that is:
P(passengersurvived|passengerwasawoman)=313417≈0.751. The probability that the passenger survived, given that the he was a man, is the fraction of
men who survived, that is: P(passenger survived|passenger was a man)=131793≈0.165. These probabilities suggest that gender was an important factor with rescue procedures, with
both women and children having a larger chance of surviving than men.
Now we look at gender distribution between the three classes. Since women and children had
large chance of surviving, we can consider them together and calculate the following conditional
probabilities:
The probability that the passenger was a child or a woman, given that the this passenger
was in first class, is the fraction of first class passenger who were children or women, that
is: P(passenger was child or woman|passenger was in first class)=148324≈0.457. The probability that the passenger was a child or a woman, given that the this passenger
was in second class, is the fraction of second class passenger who were children or
women, that is: P(passenger was child or woman|passenger was in second
class)=117284≈0.412. The probability that the passenger was a child or a woman, given that the this passenger
was in third class, is the fraction of third class passenger who were children or women,
that is: P(passenger was child or woman|passenger was in third class)=259709≈0.365. Looking at these probabilities we can see that there were larger proportions of children and
women in first and second class, than in third class. Now the question is if the difference in
gender distribution together with different survival rates for different genders was the only
CCSSM II

reason to explain the different survival rates for different classes. If that were the case, that is, if
class was not a factor in rescue procedures, then any child, regardless of the class in which the
child traveled, would have roughly the same chance of surviving (≈0.523). The same should hold for all women and all men. Thus we compare the survival rates for passengers of the same
gender, but from different classes. First, consider children:
The probability that a child survived, given that the child was in first class: P(child
survived|child was in first class)=45≈0.800. The probability that a child survived, given that the child was in second class: P(child
survived|child was in second class)=2222≈1.0. The probability that a child survived, given the child was in third class: P(child
survived|child was in third class)=3080≈0.375. We can see that the children in first and second class had a larger chance of surviving than the
children in the third class.
We can do similar calculations for women and men.
The probability that a woman survived, given that she was in first class: P(woman
survived|woman was in first class)=139143≈0.972. The probability that a woman survived, given that she was in second class: P(woman
survived|woman was in second class)=8395≈0.874.
The probability that a woman survived, given she was in third class: $P(\text{woman
survived} | \text{woman was in third class}) = \frac{91}{179} \approx 0.508.
The probability that a man survived, given that he was in first class: P(man survived|man
was in first class)=58176≈0.330. The probability that a man survived, given that he was in second class: P(man
survived|man was in second class)=13167≈0.078. The probability that a man survived, given he was in third class: P(man survived|man was
in third class)=60450≈0.133. The final conclusion: The survival rates for women (0.751) and children (0.523) were larger than
for men (0.1651), which suggests that the rescue procedures favored women and children.
However, a random passenger in first class of any gender had at least twice as large of a chance
of surviving as a passenger of the same gender in third class. For example, 0.972 survival rate for
women in first class compared to 0.508 survival rate for women in third class. Such discrepancy

cannot be justified with different gender distribution between the three classes. Therefore, the
given data also suggests that the rescue procedures favored the first class passengers.

Teacher Notes
The purpose of this task is to assess a student's ability to explain the meaning of independence in
a simple context.
You might consider expanding this task by asking students to also explain what it would mean to
say that the two events are not independent. You might also provide some probability values
(such as "on days when Janelle eats breakfast, she is late to school about 20% of the time and on
days when she does not eat breakfast, she is late to school about 10% of the time." Then ask if
this indicates that the two events "eats breakfast" and "late to school" are independent or not
independent.
Solution: Possible Solution
If the events “I eat breakfast” and “I am late for school” are independent, that means that the probability that one of the events happens is not influenced by whether or not the other event has
happened (or is happening). In this case, what Janelle is saying is that the probability that she is
late for school is the same whether or not she eats breakfast.

Cavalieri’s Principle (aka Method of Indivisibles):
2-dimensional case: Suppose that within a given plane, two regions are included between a pair
of parallel lines. If every line parallel to these two lines intersects both regions in line segments of
equal length, then the two regions have equal areas.
3-dimensional case: Suppose that within a given three-dimensional space, two regions (solids)
are included between two parallel planes. If every plane parallel to these two planes intersects
both regions in cross-sections of equal area, then the two regions have equal volumes.
Dissection Arguments:
In this context, “dissection argument” is a name given to geometric arguments for perimeter/circumference, area, and any other relevant geometric property that rely on breaking a
shape or object into pieces. The crux of such arguments tends to rely on clever rearrangements of
said pieces.
Limit Arguments:
In this context, “limit argument” is a name given to arguments that rely on something
approaching infinity (or any given finite value). For example, a polygon with an arbitrarily large
number of sides has a perimeter approaching that of the circle which it inscribes.

Dissection arguments also often rely on limiting processes, as objects might be dissected an
arbitrarily large number of times.
Relationships Between Two-Dimensional and Three-Dimensional Objects
Although many such relationships might be described, this cluster of standards is concerned with
a few in particular. Notably, all 3-dimensional objects contain infinitely many 2-dimensional
cross sections and 2-dimensional objects can be moved through 3-dimensional space (emphasis
on rotations rather than translations in this case) in order to generate 3-dimensional objects. Note
that some engineering software uses the latter process to create objects. Additionally, volume
formulas are built from area formulas. For example, the formula for the volume of a cylinder
contains the formula for the area of a circle.

Misconceptions/Challenges:
G-GMD 1
This standard involves the derivation of specific area and volume formulae using informal
mathematical argument. Student misconceptions will thus involve application and understanding
of appropriate arguments. One of the primary challenges will simply be that students must have
reached a sufficient level of abstract thought in order to understand these arguments.
G-GMD 3
This standard involves raw application of volume formulae. As such, students will encounter the
same challenges they would with the application of any other set of formulae. Notably, they may
have difficulty picking the correct formula to use and they may have trouble figuring out where
to plug in given values. If the question asks for a value that is not already isolated as the formula
is written then they could also have trouble isolating said value. For example, a student given
the circumference of a circle may have trouble solving for the radius.
Instructional Strategies:
The following instructional strategies cover several standards:
1) This website provides the core content, support for teachers, sample formative assessment
tasks and problems tasks for G – GMD 4.
http://schools.utah.gov/CURR/mathsec/Core/Secondary-Mathematics-III/Unit-4---VisualizeRelationships-Between-Two-Dimen.aspx
The following instructional strategies contain printable worksheets:
G – MD 1: 2, 3, 6, 7, 12, 13, 14, 15
G – MD 3: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 11
G-GMD 1
1) Pi Line Lesson from NCTM: http://illuminations.nctm.org/LessonDetail.aspx?id=L575
Students collect data from several circular objects, plot Circumference vs. Diameter, and find
the line of best fit to discover the slope is Pi.
2) “Discovering Pi” (included in this curriculum guide) activity develops the understanding of
the relationship between circumference and diameter or radius. Students will use various
items to “measure” the circumference and diameter of the circle, they then find their ratio.
Students should start with the largest item of measuring such as a penny then using smaller
and smaller items to improve the ratio of Circumference: Diameter. The more accurate their
measurements, the closer their ratio should be to Pi. Possible items to use for measuring
might be buttons, beads, sequins, or string. Another version of this strategy could be to use
larger and larger circles and only one item as a measuring tool. Be sure students understand
their ratio is approaching Pi because their measuring tool is more accurate as the circle gets
larger, not because the ratio is different for each circle.
3) Apple Pi Lesson NCTM: http://illuminations.nctm.org/LessonDetail.aspx?ID=U159
This unit consists of two discovery lessons, one for Circumference and the other for Area.

of the cup to any point on the opening) of 9.1cm.
Note: 1 cm3=1 ml
1. How many of these cones of water must Jared drink if he typically fills the cone to within
1cm of the top and he wants to complete his drinking during the work day?
2. Suppose that Jared drinks 25 cones of water during the day. When he gets home he
measures one of his cylindrical drinking glasses and finds it to have a diameter of 7cm
and a height of 15cm. If he typically fills his glasses to 2cm from the top, about how
many glasses of water must he drink before going to bed?

Teacher Notes:
The purpose of the task is to analyze a plausible real-life scenario using a geometric model. The
task requires knowledge of volume formulas for cylinders and cones, some geometric reasoning
involving similar triangles, and pays attention to reasonable approximations and maintaining
reasonable levels of accuracy throughout.
Submitted by Patrick Barringer to the Third illustrative Mathematics Task writing contest.
Solutions
1. Since the slant height and radius are known (9.1 cm and 3.5 cm, respectively), we can use
the Pythagorean Theorem to find the height of the cone as displayed in the equation.
(Solving x2+3.52=9.12 gives x=8.4). Since we leave the top centimeter of the height of
the cup empty, the height of the filled portion would then be 7.4cm. Using similar
triangles we find that the radius of the filled area is in ratio 7.4:8.4 to the original radius
of 3.5cm, i.e., the radius of the filled region is 7.48.4⋅3.5=3712≈3.08 cm. Using the formula for the volume of a cone we find that each cone of water contains approximately
13πr2h=13π(3.08)2(7.4)≈73.51 cubic centimeters (i.e., milliliters) of water. As Jared needs to drink 3000ml of water, dividing 300073.51≈40.81 tells us that he needs to drink
