Standards:
•
A2.A-SSE.A.2 Interpret the structure of expressions. Use structure to identify ways to rewrite
polynomial and rational expressions. Focus on polynomial operations and factoring patterns.
• A2.F-IF.B.4 Interpret functions that arise in applications in terms of the context. 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. Include
problem-solving opportunities utilizing a real-world context.
• A2.F-IF.C.8 Analyze functions using different representations. Write a function defined by an
expression in different but equivalent forms to reveal and explain different properties of the function.
