The intention of this curriculum guide is to provide teachers with supplemental materials to use to support students in strengthening their skills in various concept areas that are crucial for understanding beginning algebra. The activities are broken down by skill with links provided below. This is intended as a way to provide students with engaging, primarily computer-based activities to get extra practice with material that is covered elsewhere in the curriculum. This collection focuses on simulations and games using the computer—some resources may be ripe for teachers to develop unique activities to accompany the simulation and some possible suggestions are included with the descriptions. This series is intended to be pick-and-choose.
In this Curriculum Guide:
Activities and practice with: Integers, Exponents, Order of Operations, Distributive Property, Expressions, Equations and Basic Graphing

From the preface, "These are notes for a course in precalculus, as it is taught at New York City College of Technology - CUNY (where it is offered under the course number MAT 1375). Our approach is calculator based. For this, we will use the currently standard TI-84 calculator, and in particular, many of the examples will be explained and solved with it. However, we want to point out that there are also many other calculators that are suitable for the purpose of this course and many of these alternatives have similar functionalities as the calculator that we have chosen to use. An introduction to the TI-84 calculator together with the most common applications needed for this course is provided in appendix A. In the future we may expand on this by providing introductions to other calculators or computer algebra systems."

Students revisit the fundamental theorem of algebra as they explore complex roots of polynomial functions. They use polynomial identities, the binomial theorem, and Pascals Triangle to find roots of polynomials and roots of unity. Students compare and create different representations of functions while studying function composition, graphing functions, and finding inverse functions.

This module revisits trigonometry that was introduced in Geometry and Algebra II, uniting and further expanding the ideas of right triangle trigonometry and the unit circle. New tools are introduced for solving geometric and modeling problems through the power of trigonometry. Students explore sine, cosine, and tangent functions and their periodicity, derive formulas for triangles that are not right, and study the graphs of trigonometric functions and their inverses.

Los estudiantes vuelven a visitar el teorema fundamental del álgebra mientras exploran raíces complejas de funciones polinomiales. Utilizan identidades polinomiales, el teorema binomial y el triángulo de Pascal para encontrar raíces de polinomios y raíces de la unidad. Los estudiantes comparan y crean diferentes representaciones de funciones mientras estudian composición de funciones, gráficos de funciones y encuentran funciones inversas.

Este módulo revisa la trigonometría que se introdujo en la geometría y el álgebra II, uniendo y ampliando aún más las ideas de la trigonometría del triángulo recto y el círculo unitario. Se introducen nuevas herramientas para resolver problemas geométricos y de modelado a través del poder de la trigonometría. Los estudiantes exploran funciones sinuso, coseno y tangentes y su periodicidad, derivan fórmulas para triángulos que no son correctos y estudian los gráficos de las funciones trigonométricas y sus inversos.

In this project, you will explore a real-world problem, and then work …
In this project, you will explore a real-world problem, and then work through a series of steps to analyze that problem, research ways the problem could be solved, then propose a possible solution to that problem. Often, there are no specific right or wrong solutions, but sometimes one particular solution may be better than others. The key is making sure you fully understand the problem, have researched some possible solutions, and have proposed the solution that you can support with information / evidence.Begin by reading the problem statement in Step 1. Take the time to review all the information provided in the statement, including exploring the websites, videos and / or articles that are linked. Then work on steps 2 through 8 to complete this problem-based learning experience.

This task compares the usefulness of different forms of a quadratic expression. Students have to choose which form most easily provides information about the maximum value, the zeros and the vertical intercept of a quadratic expression in the context of a real world situation. Rather than just manipulating one form into the other, students can make sense out of the structure of the expressions.

This seminar will introduce you to various properties that are used to simplify expressions containing exponents. You will learn how to multiply and divide expressions containing exponents, and you will also learn what happens when a base is raised to a power of zero. You will have to extend your knowledge of an exponent as an indicator of how many factors of a base must be multiplied, and apply it to combining more than one exponential expression using various operations. This will be achieved by both visually studying the factors, and also applying the properties to concepts such as banking and interest.StandardsCC.2.1.HS.F.1Apply and extend the properties of exponents to solve problems with rational exponents.

This lesson is about properties of quadrilaterals and learning to investigate, formulate, conjecture, justify, and ultimately prove mathematical theorems. Students will: Analyze characteristics and properties of two- and three-dimensional geometric shapes; develop mathematical arguments about geometric relationships; and apply appropriate techniques, tools, and formulas to determine measurements.Explore relationships among classes of two- and three-dimensional geometric objects, make and test conjectures about them, and solve problems involving them. Employ forms of mathematical reasoning and proof appropriate to the solution of the problem at hand, including deductive and inductive reasoning, making and testing conjectures, and using counter examples and indirect proof. Identify, formulate and confirm conjectures. Establish the validity of geometric conjectures using deduction, prove theorems, and critique arguments made by others. (9th/10th Grade Math)

The Quadratics module is divided into 4 parts, including (1) solving by factoringm, (2) solving using the square root property and completing the square, (3) solving using the quadratic formula, and (4) solving by graphing. The goal is for students to recognize the strategies for solving quadratics, and even higher degree functions that can employ the same strategies. For each strategy there is a video page and then a practice homework page. The video pages include printable word documents that are the notes. Each video page is followed by a practice homework page in Derivita.This work, by Cheryl Meilbeck, is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.Links to an external site.CC-BY
