CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

In this module, students reconnect with and deepen their understanding of statistics and probability concepts first introduced in Grades 6, 7, and 8. Students develop a set of tools for understanding and interpreting variability in data, and begin to make more informed decisions from data. They work with data distributions of various shapes, centers, and spreads. Students build on their experience with bivariate quantitative data from Grade 8. This module sets the stage for more extensive work with sampling and inference in later grades.

In earlier grades, students define, evaluate, and compare functions and use them to model relationships between quantities. In this module, students extend their study of functions to include function notation and the concepts of domain and range. They explore many examples of functions and their graphs, focusing on the contrast between linear and exponential functions. They interpret functions given graphically, numerically, symbolically, and verbally; translate between representations; and understand the limitations of various representations.

In earlier modules, students analyze the process of solving equations and developing fluency in writing, interpreting, and translating between various forms of linear equations (Module 1) and linear and exponential functions (Module 3). These experiences combined with modeling with data (Module 2), set the stage for Module 4. Here students continue to interpret expressions, create equations, rewrite equations and functions in different but equivalent forms, and graph and interpret functions, but this time using polynomial functions, and more specifically quadratic functions, as well as square root and cube root functions.

En calificaciones anteriores, los estudiantes definen, evalúan y comparan las funciones y las usan para modelar las relaciones entre las cantidades. En este módulo, los estudiantes extienden su estudio de funciones para incluir la notación de la función y los conceptos de dominio y rango. Exploran muchos ejemplos de funciones y sus gráficos, centrándose en el contraste entre las funciones lineales y exponenciales. Interpretan funciones dadas gráfica, numérica, simbólica y verbalmente; traducir entre representaciones; y comprender las limitaciones de varias representaciones.

En módulos anteriores, los estudiantes analizan el proceso de resolver ecuaciones y desarrollar fluidez en la escritura, interpretación y traducción entre varias formas de ecuaciones lineales (Módulo 1) y funciones lineales y exponenciales (Módulo 3). Estas experiencias combinadas con el modelado con datos (Módulo 2), preparan el escenario para el módulo 4. Aquí los estudiantes continúan interpretando expresiones, crean ecuaciones, reescriben ecuaciones y funciones en formas diferentes pero equivalentes, y gráficos e interpretan funciones, pero esta vez utilizando polinomial funciones y funciones más específicamente cuadráticas, así como funciones de raíz de raíz cuadrada y de cubos.
