A.SSE.2 Use the structure of an expression to identify ways to
rewrite it. For example, see x4 – y4 as (x2)2 – (y2)2, thus
recognizing it as a difference of squares that can be factored as
(x2 – y2)(x2 + y2).
A.SSE.3 Choose and produce an equivalent form of an expression
to reveal and explain properties of the quantity represented by the
expression. a. Factor a quadratic expression to reveal the zeros of
the function it defines. b. Complete the square in a quadratic
expression to reveal the maximum or minimum value of the
function it defines. c. Use the properties of exponents to
transform expressions for exponential functions. For example the
expression 1.15t can be rewritten as (1.151/12)12t ≈1.01212t to
reveal the approximate equivalent monthly interest rate if the
annual rate is 15%.
A.APR.2 Know and apply the Remainder Theorem: For a
polynomial p(x) and a number a, the remainder on division by x –
a is p(a), so p(a) = 0 if and only if (x – a) is a factor of p(x).

Some students may believe that factoring and
completing the square are isolated techniques
within a unit of quadratic equations.
Teachers should help students to see the
value of these skills in the context of solving
higher degree equations and examining
different families of functions.
Students may think that the minimum (the
vertex) of the graph of y = (x + 5)2 is shifted
to the right of the minimum (the vertex) of
the graph y = x2 due to the addition sign.
Students should explore examples both
analytically and graphically to overcome this
misconception.
Some students may believe that the minimum
of the graph of a quadratic function always
occur at the y-intercept.

Solve quadratic equations by inspection (e.g., for x2 = 49), taking
square roots, completing the square, the quadratic formula and
factoring, as appropriate to the initial form of the equation.

A.APR.6
Students with only procedural understanding
of fractions are likely to “cancel” terms
(rather than factors of) in the numerator and
denominator of a fraction. Emphasize the
structure of the rational expression: that the
whole numerator is divided by the whole
denominator. In fact, the word “cancel”
likely promotes this misconception.
It would be more accurate to talk about
dividing the numerator and denominator by a
common factor.
A.REI.1-2
Students may believe that solving an equation
such as 3x + 1 = 7 involves “only removing
the 1,” failing to realize that the equation 1 =
1 is being subtracted to produce the next
step.
Additionally, students may believe that all
solutions to radical and rational equations are
viable, without recognizing that there are
times when extraneous solutions are
generated and have to be eliminated. A.REI.4
Some students may think that rewriting
equations into various forms (taking square
roots, completing the square, using quadratic
formula and factoring) are isolated
techniques within a unit of quadratic
equations. Teachers should help students see
the value of these skills in the context of
solving higher degree equations and
examining different families of functions.
F.IF.4
Students may believe that it is reasonable to
input any x-value into a function, so they will
need to examine multiple situations in which
there are various limitations to the domains.
Students may also believe that the slope of a
linear function is merely a number used to
sketch the graph of the line. In reality, slopes
have real-world meaning, and the idea of a
rate of change is fundamental to
understanding major concepts from geometry
to calculus.
Algebra II
factorizations are available, and showing end behavior. d. (+)
Graph rational functions, identifying zeros and asymptotes when
suitable factorizations are available, and showing end behavior. e.
Graph exponential and logarithmic functions, showing intercepts
and end behavior, and trigonometric functions, showing period,
midline, and amplitude.
F.IF.8 Write a function defined by an expression in different but
equivalent forms to reveal and explain different properties of the
function. a. Use the process of factoring and completing the
square in a quadratic function to show zeros, extreme values, and
symmetry of the graph, and interpret these in terms of a context.
b. 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.
F.BF.1 Write a function that describes a relationship between two
quantities. a. Determine an explicit expression, a recursive
process, or steps for calculation from a context. b. 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. c. (+) Compose functions. For
example, if T(y) is the temperature in the atmosphere as a
function of height, and h(t) is the height of a weather balloon as a
function of time, then T(h(t)) is the temperature at the location of
the weather balloon as a function of time.
F.BF.2 Write arithmetic and geometric sequences both recursively
and with an explicit formula, use them to model situations, and
translate between the two forms.
f. Provide a
concluding
statement or
section that
follows from
and supports the
information or
explanation
presented.
WHST.6-8.4
Produce clear and
coherent writing
in which the
development,
organization,
and style are
appropriate to
task, purpose,
and audience.
flexibly from
a range of
strategies.
F.IF.7
Students may believe that each family of
functions (e.g., quadratic, square root, etc.) is
independent of the others, so they may not
recognize commonalities among all functions
and their graphs.
Students may also believe that skills such as
factoring a trinomial or completing the
square are isolated within a unit on
polynomials, and that they will come to
understand the usefulness of these skills in
the context of examining characteristics of
functions.
Additionally, student may believe that the
process of rewriting equations into various
forms is simply an algebra symbol
manipulation exercise, rather than serving a
purpose of allowing different features of the
function to be exhibited.
F.BF.1-2
Students may believe that the best (or only)
way to generalize a table of data is by using a
recursive formula.
Students naturally tend to look “down” a table
to find the pattern but need to realize that
finding the 100th term requires knowing the
99th term unless an explicit formula is
developed.
Students may also believe that arithmetic and
geometric sequences are the same. Students
need experiences with both types of
sequences to be able to recognize the
difference and more readily develop
formulas to describe them.

F.BF.1.c (+) Compose functions. For example, if T(y) is the temperature in the atmosphere as a function of height, and h(t) is the height of a weather balloon as a function of time, then T(h(t)) is the temperature at the location of the weather balloon as a function of time.
F.BF.2 Write arithmetic and geometric sequences both recursively and with an explicit formula, use them to model situations, and translate between the two forms.
F.BF.4 Find inverse functions.
F.BF.4.a Solve an equation of the form f(x) = c for a simple function f that has an inverse and write an expression for the inverse. For example, f(x) =2x3 or f(x) = (x+1)/(x–1) for x = 1.
F.BF.4.c Read values of an inverse function from a graph or a table, given that the function has an inverse.
F.IF.3 Recognize that sequences are functions, sometimes defined recursively, whose domain is a subset of the integers. For example, the Fibonacci sequence is defined recursively by f(0) = f(1) = 1, f(n+1) = f(n) + f(n-1) for n ≥ 1.
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.

Misconceptions Students might confuse irrational numbers with non-real or complex numbers; remind students about the relationships
between the sets of numbers.
Algebra II
Students might think that taking square roots, factoring, and completing the square are isolated techniques used only for quadratics. Help students understand the value of these skills in the context of solving higher degree equations and examining different families of functions.
Students also might believe expressions cannot be factored because they do not fit a recognizable form. They need help manipulating terms until structures become evident.
Students might try to combine terms that are not like or change the degree of variables when combining terms.
Students often forget to distribute to all terms when multiplying and fail to use the property of exponents correctly when distributing.
Students tend to forget the negative solution for quadratic equations not involving the use of the quadratic formula. For example, x2 = 9 has 3 as a solution but also -3.
Ensure students understand the idea of rate of change as it applies to polynomial functions and that it applies to real-world situations; it is not just an abstract idea.
Students tend to look down tables to find patterns but must realize that finding the 100th term requires the 99th term unless an explicit formula is developed.
Students might not understand what it means to find sums of series. For example, if asked to find the sum of the first 17 terms of a series, they might only find the 17th term.

A.REI.1-2
Students may believe that solving an equation
such as 3x + 1 = 7 involves “only removing the
1,” failing to realize that the equation 1 = 1 is
being subtracted to produce the next step.
Additionally, students may believe that all
solutions to radical and rational equations are
viable, without recognizing that there are times
when extraneous solutions are generated and
have to be eliminated. F.IF.4
Students may believe that it is reasonable to
input any x-value into a function, so they will

have real-world meaning, and the idea of a rate
of change is fundamental to understanding
major concepts from geometry to calculus.
F.IF.7
Students may believe that each family of
functions (e.g., quadratic, square root, etc.) is
independent of the others, so they may not
recognize commonalities among all functions
and their graphs.
Students may also believe that skills such as
factoring a trinomial or completing the square
are isolated within a unit on polynomials, and
that they will come to understand the
usefulness of these skills in the context of
examining characteristics of functions.
Additionally, student may believe that the
process of rewriting equations into various
forms is simply an algebra symbol
manipulation exercise, rather than serving a
purpose of allowing different features of the
function to be exhibited.
F.BF.1-2
Students may believe that the best (or only)
way to generalize a table of data is by using a
recursive formula.
Students naturally tend to look “down” a table
to find the pattern but need to realize that
finding the 100th term requires knowing the
99th term unless an explicit formula is
developed.
Students may also believe that arithmetic and
geometric sequences are the same. Students
need experiences with both types of sequences
to be able to recognize the difference and more
readily develop formulas to describe them.

Some students may believe that factoring and

see the value of these skills in the context of
solving higher degree equations and
examining different families of functions.
Students may think that the minimum (the
vertex) of the graph of y = (x + 5)2 is
shifted to the right of the minimum (the
vertex) of the graph y = x2 due to the
addition sign. Students should explore
examples both analytically and graphically

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

so (51/3)3 must equal 5.

Students sometimes misunderstand the
meaning of exponential operations, the way
powers and roots relate to one another, and
the order in which they should be
performed. Attention to the base is very
important.
position of a negative sign of a term with a
rational exponent can mean that the rational
exponent should be either applied first to the
base, 81, and then the opposite of the result
is taken,
answer of 4 -81 will be not real if the
denominator of the exponent is even. If the
root is odd, the answer will be a negative
number.
Students should be able to make use of
estimation when incorrectly using
multiplication instead of exponentiation.
Students may believe that the fractional
exponent in the expression 36 means the
same as a factor of 1/3 in multiplication
by the exponent.

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.SSE.1.b Interpret complicated expressions by viewing one or more of their parts as a single entity. For example, interpret P(1+r)n as the product of P and a factor not depending on P.
A.SSE.3 Choose and produce an equivalent form of an expression to reveal and explain properties of the quantity represented by the expression.
A.SSE.3.c
Use the properties of exponents to transform expressions for exponential functions. For example the expression
1.15t can be rewritten as (1+.𝟏𝟓
𝟏𝟐)12t ≈ 1.012512t to reveal the approximate equivalent monthly interest rate if the
annual rate is 15%.
A.SSE.4 Derive the formula for the sum of a finite geometric series (when the common ratio is not 1), and use the formula to solve problems. For example, calculate mortgage payments.
F.BF.1.a Determine an explicit expression, a recursive process, or steps for calculation from a context.
F.BF.1.b 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.
F.BF.2 Write arithmetic and geometric sequences both recursively and with an explicit formula, use them to model situations, and translate between the two forms.
F.BF.4 Find inverse functions.
F.BF.4.a Solve an equation of the form f(x) = c for a simple function f that has an inverse and write an expression for the inverse. For example, f(x) =2x3 or f(x) = (x+1)/(x–1) for x = 1.
F.BF.4.c (+) Read values of an inverse function from a graph or a table, given that the function has an inverse.
F.IF.3 Recognize that sequences are functions, sometimes defined recursively, whose domain is a subset of the integers. For example, the Fibonacci sequence is defined recursively by f(0) = f(1) = 1, f(n+1) = f(n) + f(n-1) for n ≥ 1.
Algebra II
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.
F.IF.7 Graph functions expressed symbolically and show key features of the graph, by hand in simple cases and using technology for more complicated cases.
F.IF.7.e Graph exponential and logarithmic functions, showing intercepts and end behavior, and trigonometric functions, showing period, midline, and amplitude.
F.IF.8.b 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.
F.LE.2 Construct linear and exponential functions, including arithmetic and geometric sequences, given a graph, a description of a relationship, or two input-output pairs (include reading these from a table).
F.LE.4 For exponential models, express as a logarithm the solution to abct = d where a, c, and d are numbers and the base b I s2, 10, or e; evaluate the logarithm using technology.
F.LE.5 Interpret the parameters in a linear or exponential function in terms of a context.
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 = 𝟓𝟏/𝟑𝟑 to hold, so (51/3)3 must equal 5.
N.RN.2 Rewrite expressions involving radicals and rational exponents using the properties of exponents.

Misconceptions
Students might multiply base and exponent, rather than raising the base to the power, when working with exponential equations.
Students might believe all solutions to radical equations are viable, without recognizing instances in which extraneous solutions are generated and must be eliminated.
Students often think a “+” next to x is a shift to the right due to the addition sign, which indicates positive change. Students should explore examples both analytically and graphically to overcome this notion.
Ensure students understand the idea of rate of change as it applies to exponential functions and that it applies to real-world situations; it is not just an abstract idea.
Students might misinterpret the percent change in a problem such as y = (1.01)12t as 1% (see F-IF.8b).
Students might believe all functions have inverses and need to see counterexamples.

Instructional Notes
Make sure students understand domain restrictions for logs and extraneous solutions when solving.
Be sure to hit standard A.SSE.3.c which changes annual interest rates to monthly interest rates. They should be able to apply this property to

Misconceptions
Students often think a “+” next to x is a shift to the right due to the addition sign, which indicates positive change. Students should explore examples both analytically and graphically to overcome this notion.
Students might believe there is no need for radians if one already knows how to use degrees. Show a rationale for how radians are unique in terms of finding function values in trigonometry since the radius of the unit circle is 1.
Students might believe all angles having the same reference values have identical sine, cosine, and tangent values, forgetting that certain trigonometric functions carry certain signs (+ or -) in different quadrants.
Students might believe all trigonometric functions have a range of 1 to -1. Students must see examples showing how coefficients can change the range and appearance of graphs.
Students need help seeing the connection between the Pythagorean Theorem and the study of trigonometry.
Showing students the relationship between the sine and cosine values for a particular angle (that the sum of the squares of these values always equals 1) is a unique way to view trigonometry through the lens of geometry.
Ensure students understand the idea of rate of change as it applies to trigonometric functions and that it applies to real-world situations; it is not just an abstract idea.

property of experiments.

be done only in experiments. They should

Content Standards (Priority Standards)
F.BF.D Build a function that models a relationship between two quantities
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 P(A|B) = P(A ∩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 your school will favor science given that the student is in tenth grade. Do the same for other subjects and compare the results.
S.CP.5 Recognize and explain the concepts of conditional probability and independence in everyday language and everyday situations. For example, compare the chance of having lung cancer if you are a smoker with the chance of being a smoker if you have lung cancer.
S.CP.6 Find the conditional probability of A given B as the fraction of B’s outcomes that also belong to A, and interpret the answer in terms of the model.
S.CP.7 Apply the Addition Rule, P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A and B), and interpret the answer in terms of the model.
S.IC.1 Understand statistics as a process for making inferences about population parameters based on a random sample from that population.
Algebra II
S.IC.2
Decide if a specified model is consistent with results from a given data-generating process, e.g., using simulation. For example, a model says a spinning coin falls heads up with probability 0.5. Would a result of 5 tails in a row cause you to question the model?
S.IC.3 Recognize the purposes of and differences among sample surveys, experiments, and observational studies; explain how randomization relates to each.
S.IC.4 Use data from a sample survey to estimate a population mean or proportion; develop a margin of error through the use of simulation models for random sampling.
S.IC.5 Use data from a randomized experiment to compare two treatments; use simulations to decide if differences between parameters are significant.
S.IC.6 Evaluate reports based on data.
S.ID.2 Use statistics appropriate to the shape of the data distribution to compare center (median, mean) and spread (interquartile range, standard deviation) of two or more different data sets.
S.ID.3 Interpret differences in shape, center, and spread in the context of the data sets, accounting for possible effects of extreme data points (outliers).
S.ID.4 Use the mean and standard deviation of a data set to fit it to a normal distribution and to estimate population percentages. Recognize that there are data sets for which such a procedure is not appropriate. Use calculators, spreadsheets, and tables to estimate areas under the normal curve.
S.ID.5 Summarize categorical data for two categories in two-way frequency tables. Interpret relative frequencies in the context of the data (including joint, marginal, and conditional relative frequencies). Recognize possible associations and trends in the data.
7.SP.1 Understand that statistics can be used to gain information about a population by examining a sample of the population; generalizations about a population from a sample are valid only if the sample is representative of that population. Understand that random sampling tends to produce representative samples and support valid inferences.
7.SP.2
Use data from a random sample to draw inferences about a population with an unknown characteristic of interest. Generate multiple samples (or simulated samples) of the same size to gauge the variation in estimates or predictions. For example, estimate the mean word length in a book by randomly sampling words from the book; predict the winner of a school election based on randomly sampled survey data. Gauge how far off the estimate or prediction might be.
7.SP.3
Informally assess the degree of visual overlap of two numerical data distributions with similar variabilities, measuring the difference between the centers by expressing it as a multiple of a measure of variability. For example, the mean height of players on the basketball team is 10 cm greater than the mean height of players on the soccer team, about twice the variability (mean absolute deviation) on either team; on a dot plot, the separation between the two distributions of heights is noticeable.
7.SP.4 Use measures of center and measures of variability for numerical data from random samples to draw informal comparative inferences about two populations. For example, decide whether the words in a chapter of a seventh-grade science book are generally longer than the words in a chapter of a fourth-grade science book.

Misconceptions
Students might believe inferences from samples to populations can be done only in experiments. They need to realize that inferences can be done in samplings and observational studies if data are collected through random process.
Students might believe population parameters and sample statistics are the same. For example, they may think there is no difference between the population mean, which is a constant, and the sample mean, which is a variable.
Students might believe that making decisions is simply comparing the value of one observation of a sample statistic to the value of a population parameter, not realizing the distribution of the sample statistic needs to be created.
Students might believe all bell-shaped curves are normal distributions. A bell-shaped curve is normal when 68% of the distribution is within one standard deviation of the mean, 95% within two, and 99.7% within three standard deviations.
