Enduring Understanding

The student will understand:

• Students should develop a deeper understanding of very small and very large numbers and a variety of ways to represent them.
• Representations should be used to model and interpret physical, social, and mathematical phenomena
• Mathematical thinking should be communicated coherently and clearly to teachers, peers, and others
• Students should be able to judge the meaning, utility, and reasonableness of the results of symbol manipulation, including those carried out by technology.
• Functions should be analyzed by investigating rates of change, intercepts, zeros, asymptotes, and local and global behavior.
• Students should be able to use the language of mathematics to express mathematical ideas incisively.
