1hese SLandards deflne whaL sLudenLs should undersLand and be able Lo do ln Lhelr sLudy of maLhemaLlcs. Asklng a sLudenL Lo
undersLand someLhlng means asklng a Leacher Lo assess wheLher Lhe sLudenL has undersLood lL. 8uL whaL does maLhemaLlcal
undersLandlng look llke? Cne hallmark of maLhemaLlcal undersLandlng ls Lhe ablllLy Lo [usLlfy, ln a way approprlaLe Lo Lhe
sLudenL's maLhemaLlcal maLurlLy, why a parLlcular maLhemaLlcal sLaLemenL ls Lrue or where a maLhemaLlcal rule comes from.
1here ls a world of dlfference beLween a sLudenL who can summon a mnemonlc devlce Lo expand a producL such as (a + b)(x + y)
and a sLudenL who can explaln where Lhe mnemonlc comes from. 1he sLudenL who can explaln Lhe rule undersLands Lhe
maLhemaLlcs, and may have a beLLer chance Lo succeed aL a less famlllar Lask such as expandlng (a + b + c)(x + y). MaLhemaLlcal
undersLandlng and procedural sklll are equally lmporLanL, and boLh are assessable uslng maLhemaLlcal Lasks of sufflclenL
rlchness.

1he SLandards seL grade-speclflc sLandards buL do noL deflne Lhe lnLervenLlon meLhods or maLerlals necessary Lo supporL
sLudenLs who are well below or well above grade-level expecLaLlons. lL ls also beyond Lhe scope of Lhe SLandards Lo deflne Lhe

sLudenLs musL have Lhe opporLunlLy Lo learn and meeL Lhe same hlgh sLandards lf Lhey are Lo access Lhe knowledge and skllls

ln a slmllar veln, speaklng and llsLenlng should be lnLerpreLed broadly Lo lnclude slgn language. no seL of grade-speclflc sLandards

4. Mode| w|th mathemat|cs.
MaLhemaLlcally proflclenL sLudenLs can apply Lhe maLhemaLlcs Lhey know Lo solve problems arlslng ln everyday llfe,
socleLy, and Lhe workplace. ln early grades, Lhls mlghL be as slmple as wrlLlng an addlLlon equaLlon Lo descrlbe a
slLuaLlon. ln mlddle grades, a sLudenL mlghL apply proporLlonal reasonlng Lo plan a school evenL or analyze a problem ln
Lhe communlLy. 8y hlgh school, a sLudenL mlghL use geomeLry Lo solve a deslgn problem or use a funcLlon Lo descrlbe
how one quanLlLy of lnLeresL depends on anoLher. MaLhemaLlcally proflclenL sLudenLs who can apply whaL Lhey know
are comforLable maklng assumpLlons and approxlmaLlons Lo slmpllfy a compllcaLed slLuaLlon, reallzlng LhaL Lhese may
need revlslon laLer. 1hey are able Lo ldenLlfy lmporLanL quanLlLles ln a pracLlcal slLuaLlon and map Lhelr relaLlonshlps
uslng such Lools as dlagrams, Lwo-way Lables, graphs, flowcharLs and formulas. 1hey can analyze Lhose relaLlonshlps
maLhemaLlcally Lo draw concluslons. 1hey rouLlnely lnLerpreL Lhelr maLhemaLlcal resulLs ln Lhe conLexL of Lhe slLuaLlon
and reflecL on wheLher Lhe resulLs make sense, posslbly lmprovlng Lhe model lf lL has noL served lLs purpose.

S. Use appropr|ate too|s strateg|ca||y.
MaLhemaLlcally proflclenL sLudenLs conslder Lhe avallable Lools when solvlng a maLhemaLlcal problem. 1hese Lools
mlghL lnclude pencll and paper, concreLe models, a ruler, a proLracLor, a calculaLor, a spreadsheeL, a compuLer algebra
sysLem, a sLaLlsLlcal package, or dynamlc geomeLry sofLware. roflclenL sLudenLs are sufflclenLly famlllar wlLh Lools
approprlaLe for Lhelr grade or course Lo make sound declslons abouL when each of Lhese Lools mlghL be helpful,
recognlzlng boLh Lhe lnslghL Lo be galned and Lhelr llmlLaLlons. lor example, maLhemaLlcally proflclenL hlgh school
sLudenLs analyze graphs of funcLlons and soluLlons generaLed uslng a graphlng calculaLor. 1hey deLecL posslble errors by
sLraLeglcally uslng esLlmaLlon and oLher maLhemaLlcal knowledge. When maklng maLhemaLlcal models, Lhey know LhaL
Lechnology can enable Lhem Lo vlsuallze Lhe resulLs of varylng assumpLlons, explore consequences, and compare
predlcLlons wlLh daLa. MaLhemaLlcally proflclenL sLudenLs aL varlous grade levels are able Lo ldenLlfy relevanL exLernal
maLhemaLlcal resources, such as dlglLal conLenL locaLed on a webslLe, and use Lhem Lo pose or solve problems. 1hey are

Numbers and Number Systems. uurlng Lhe years from klndergarLen Lo elghLh grade, sLudenLs musL repeaLedly exLend Lhelr
concepLlon of number. AL flrsL, "number" means "counLlng number": 1, 2, 3... Soon afLer LhaL, 0 ls used Lo represenL "none" and
Lhe whole numbers are formed by Lhe counLlng numbers LogeLher wlLh zero. 1he nexL exLenslon ls fracLlons. AL flrsL, fracLlons are
barely numbers and Lled sLrongly Lo plcLorlal represenLaLlons. ?eL by Lhe Llme sLudenLs undersLand dlvlslon of fracLlons, Lhey
have a sLrong concepL of fracLlons as numbers and have connecLed Lhem, vla Lhelr declmal represenLaLlons, wlLh Lhe base-Len
sysLem used Lo represenL Lhe whole numbers. uurlng mlddle school, fracLlons are augmenLed by negaLlve fracLlons Lo form Lhe
raLlonal numbers. ln Crade 8, sLudenLs exLend Lhls sysLem once more, augmenLlng Lhe raLlonal numbers wlLh Lhe lrraLlonal
numbers Lo form Lhe real numbers. ln hlgh school, sLudenLs wlll be exposed Lo yeL anoLher exLenslon of number, when Lhe real
numbers are augmenLed by Lhe lmaglnary numbers Lo form Lhe complex numbers.

WlLh each exLenslon of number, Lhe meanlngs of addlLlon, subLracLlon, mulLlpllcaLlon, and dlvlslon are exLended. ln each new
number sysLem-lnLegers, raLlonal numbers, real numbers, and complex numbers-Lhe four operaLlons sLay Lhe same ln Lwo
lmporLanL ways: 1hey have Lhe commuLaLlve, assoclaLlve, and dlsLrlbuLlve properLles and Lhelr new meanlngs are conslsLenL wlLh
Lhelr prevlous meanlngs.

LxLendlng Lhe properLles of whole-number exponenLs leads Lo new and producLlve noLaLlon. lor example, properLles of whole-
number exponenLs suggesL LhaL (3
1/3
)
3
should be 3
(1/3)3
= 3
1
= 3 and LhaL 3
1/3
should be Lhe cube rooL of 3.

CalculaLors, spreadsheeLs, and compuLer algebra sysLems can provlde ways for sLudenLs Lo become beLLer acqualnLed wlLh Lhese
new number sysLems and Lhelr noLaLlon. 1hey can be used Lo generaLe daLa for numerlcal experlmenLs, Lo help undersLand Lhe
worklngs of maLrlx, vecLor, and complex number algebra, and Lo experlmenL wlLh non-lnLeger exponenLs.


uant|t|es. ln real world problems, Lhe answers are usually noL numbers buL quanLlLles: numbers wlLh unlLs, whlch lnvolves
measuremenL. ln Lhelr work ln measuremenL up Lhrough Crade 8, sLudenLs prlmarlly measure commonly used aLLrlbuLes such as
lengLh, area, and volume. ln hlgh school, sLudenLs encounLer a wlder varleLy of unlLs ln modellng, e.g., acceleraLlon, currency
converslons, derlved quanLlLles such as person-hours and heaLlng degree days, soclal sclence raLes such as per-caplLa lncome,
and raLes ln everyday llfe such as polnLs scored per game or baLLlng averages. 1hey also encounLer novel slLuaLlons ln whlch Lhey
Lhemselves musL concelve Lhe aLLrlbuLes of lnLeresL. lor example, Lo flnd a good measure of overall hlghway safeLy, Lhey mlghL
propose measures such as faLallLles per year, faLallLles per year per drlver, or faLallLles per vehlcle-mlle Lraveled. Such a
concepLual process ls someLlmes called quanLlflcaLlon. CuanLlflcaLlon ls lmporLanL for sclence, as when surface area suddenly
sLands ouL" as an lmporLanL varlable ln evaporaLlon. CuanLlflcaLlon ls also lmporLanL for companles, whlch musL concepLuallze

AL Llmes, an expresslon ls Lhe resulL of applylng operaLlons Lo slmpler expresslons. lor example, p + 0.03p ls Lhe sum of Lhe
slmpler expresslons p and 0.03p. vlewlng an expresslon as Lhe resulL of operaLlon on slmpler expresslons can someLlmes clarlfy
lLs underlylng sLrucLure.

A spreadsheeL or a compuLer algebra sysLem (CAS) can be used Lo experlmenL wlLh algebralc expresslons, perform compllcaLed
algebralc manlpulaLlons, and undersLand how algebralc manlpulaLlons behave.


Lquat|ons and |nequa||t|es. An equaLlon ls a sLaLemenL of equallLy beLween Lwo expresslons, ofLen vlewed as a quesLlon asklng
for whlch values of Lhe varlables Lhe expresslons on elLher slde are ln facL equal. 1hese values are Lhe soluLlons Lo Lhe equaLlon.
An ldenLlLy, ln conLrasL, ls Lrue for all values of Lhe varlables, ldenLlLles are ofLen developed by rewrlLlng an expresslon ln an
equlvalenL form.

1he soluLlons of an equaLlon ln one varlable form a seL of numbers, Lhe soluLlons of an equaLlon ln Lwo varlables form a seL of
ordered palrs of numbers, whlch can be ploLLed ln Lhe coordlnaLe plane. 1wo or more equaLlons and/or lnequallLles form a
sysLem. A soluLlon for such a sysLem musL saLlsfy every equaLlon and lnequallLy ln Lhe sysLem.

An equaLlon can ofLen be solved by successlvely deduclng from lL one or more slmpler equaLlons. lor example, one can add Lhe
same consLanL Lo boLh sldes wlLhouL changlng Lhe soluLlons, buL squarlng boLh sldes mlghL lead Lo exLraneous soluLlons.
SLraLeglc compeLence ln solvlng lncludes looklng ahead for producLlve manlpulaLlons and anLlclpaLlng Lhe naLure and number of
soluLlons.

Some equaLlons have no soluLlons ln a glven number sysLem, buL have a soluLlon ln a larger sysLem. lor example, Lhe soluLlon of
x + 1 = 0 ls an lnLeger, noL a whole number, Lhe soluLlon of 2x + 1 = 0 ls a raLlonal number, noL an lnLeger, Lhe soluLlons of x
2
- 2 =
0 are real numbers, noL raLlonal numbers, and Lhe soluLlons of x
2
+ 2 = 0 are complex numbers, noL real numbers.

1he same soluLlon Lechnlques used Lo solve equaLlons can be used Lo rearrange formulas. lor example, Lhe formula for Lhe area
of a Lrapezold, A = ((b
1
+b
2
)/2)b, can be solved for b uslng Lhe same deducLlve process.

lnequallLles can be solved by reasonlng abouL Lhe properLles of lnequallLy. Many, buL noL all, of Lhe properLles of equallLy
conLlnue Lo hold for lnequallLles and can be useful ln solvlng Lhem.


Connect|ons to Iunct|ons and Mode||ng. Lxpresslons can deflne funcLlons, and equlvalenL expresslons deflne Lhe same funcLlon.
Asklng when Lwo funcLlons have Lhe same value for Lhe same lnpuL leads Lo an equaLlon, graphlng Lhe Lwo funcLlons allows for

Mathemat|cs | n|gh Schoo|Iunct|ons

luncLlons descrlbe slLuaLlons where one quanLlLy deLermlnes anoLher. lor example, Lhe reLurn on $10,000 lnvesLed aL an
annuallzed percenLage raLe of 4.23 ls a funcLlon of Lhe lengLh of Llme Lhe money ls lnvesLed. 8ecause we conLlnually make
Lheorles abouL dependencles beLween quanLlLles ln naLure and socleLy, funcLlons are lmporLanL Lools ln Lhe consLrucLlon of
maLhemaLlcal models.

ln school maLhemaLlcs, funcLlons usually have numerlcal lnpuLs and ouLpuLs and are ofLen deflned by an algebralc expresslon.
lor example, Lhe Llme ln hours lL Lakes for a car Lo drlve 100 mlles ls a funcLlon of Lhe car's speed ln mlles per hour, v, Lhe rule
1(v) = 100/v expresses Lhls relaLlonshlp algebralcally and deflnes a funcLlon whose name ls 1.

1he seL of lnpuLs Lo a funcLlon ls called lLs domaln. We ofLen lnfer Lhe domaln Lo be all lnpuLs for whlch Lhe expresslon deflnlng a
funcLlon has a value, or for whlch Lhe funcLlon makes sense ln a glven conLexL.

A funcLlon can be descrlbed ln varlous ways, such as by a graph (e.g., Lhe Lrace of a selsmograph), by a verbal rule, as ln, "l'll glve
you a sLaLe, you glve me Lhe caplLal clLy," by an algebralc expresslon llke f(x) = o + bx, or by a recurslve rule. 1he graph of a
funcLlon ls ofLen a useful way of vlsuallzlng Lhe relaLlonshlp of Lhe funcLlon models, and manlpulaLlng a maLhemaLlcal expresslon
for a funcLlon can Lhrow llghL on Lhe funcLlon's properLles.

luncLlons presenLed as expresslons can model many lmporLanL phenomena. 1wo lmporLanL famllles of funcLlons characLerlzed
by laws of growLh are llnear funcLlons, whlch grow aL a consLanL raLe, and exponenLlal funcLlons, whlch grow aL a consLanL
percenL raLe. Llnear funcLlons wlLh a consLanL Lerm of zero descrlbe proporLlonal relaLlonshlps.

A graphlng uLlllLy or a compuLer algebra sysLem can be used Lo experlmenL wlLh properLles of Lhese funcLlons and Lhelr graphs
and Lo bulld compuLaLlonal models of funcLlons, lncludlng recurslvely deflned funcLlons.

Connect|ons to Lxpress|ons, Lquat|ons, Mode||ng, and Coord|nates.
ueLermlnlng an ouLpuL value for a parLlcular lnpuL lnvolves evaluaLlng an expresslon, flndlng lnpuLs LhaL yleld a glven ouLpuL
lnvolves solvlng an equaLlon. CuesLlons abouL when Lwo funcLlons have Lhe same value for Lhe same lnpuL lead Lo equaLlons,
whose soluLlons can be vlsuallzed from Lhe lnLersecLlon of Lhelr graphs. 8ecause funcLlons descrlbe relaLlonshlps beLween
quanLlLles, Lhey are frequenLly used ln modellng. SomeLlmes funcLlons are deflned by a recurslve process, whlch can be dlsplayed
effecLlvely uslng a spreadsheeL or oLher Lechnology.

A model can be very slmple, such as wrlLlng LoLal cosL as a producL of unlL prlce and number boughL, or uslng a geomeLrlc shape

Some examples of such slLuaLlons mlghL lnclude:

carefully from a small seL of axloms.

1he concepLs of congruence, slmllarlLy, and symmeLry can be undersLood from Lhe perspecLlve of geomeLrlc LransformaLlon.
lundamenLal are Lhe rlgld moLlons: LranslaLlons, roLaLlons, reflecLlons, and comblnaLlons of Lhese, all of whlch are here assumed
Lo preserve dlsLance and angles (and Lherefore shapes generally). 8eflecLlons and roLaLlons each explaln a parLlcular Lype of

Lo prove Lheorems abouL Lrlangles, quadrllaLerals, and oLher geomeLrlc flgures.

SlmllarlLy LransformaLlons (rlgld moLlons followed by dllaLlons) deflne slmllarlLy ln Lhe same way LhaL rlgld moLlons deflne

fracLlons and declmals, and solvlng real-world and maLhemaLlcal problems lnvolvlng angle measure, area, surface area, and

evaluaLlng college and career readlness should reach as far back ln Lhe sLandards as Crades 6-8. lL ls lmporLanL Lo noLe as well
LhaL cuL scores or oLher lnformaLlon generaLed by assessmenL sysLems for college and career readlness should be developed ln
