A collection of relevant lessons to supplement your units in Algebra I/II. Mix these lessons into your course to show students the algebraic reasoning behind social issues, public health, the environment, business, sports, and more.
"Students connect polynomial arithmetic to computations with whole numbers and integers. Students learn that the arithmetic of rational expressions is governed by the same rules as the arithmetic of rational numbers. This unit helps students see connections between solutions to polynomial equations, zeros of polynomials, and graphs of polynomial functions. Polynomial equations are solved over the set of complex numbers, leading to a beginning understanding of the fundamental theorem of algebra. Application and modeling problems connect multiple representations and include both real world and purely mathematical situations.

"Los estudiantes conectan la aritmética polinomial con los cálculos con números enteros e enteros. Los estudiantes aprenden que la aritmética de las expresiones racionales se rige por las mismas reglas que la aritmética de los números racionales. Esta unidad ayuda a los estudiantes a ver conexiones entre soluciones a ecuaciones polinomiales, ceros de polinomiales,, y gráficos de funciones polinómicas. Las ecuaciones polinomiales se resuelven sobre el conjunto de números complejos, lo que lleva a una comprensión inicial del teorema fundamental del álgebra. Los problemas de aplicación y modelado conectan múltiples representaciones e incluyen situaciones de mundo real y puramente matemáticas.

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 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.

Modeling Our World with Mathematics Unit 1: Health & Fitness Topic 1 - A Healthier You!
This lesson unit is intended to help you assess how well students are able to manipulate and calculate with polynomials. In particular, it aims to identify and help students who have difficulties in: switching between visual and algebraic representations of polynomial expressions; and performing arithmetic operations on algebraic representations of polynomials, factorizing and expanding appropriately when it helps to make the operations easier.
The purpose of this lesson is for students to discover the connection between the algebraic and the graphical structure of polynomial functions. This lesson leads to students being able to sketch a graph by identifying the end behavior, intercepts, and multiplicities from a given polynomial equation. It also leads to students being able to write a possible equation by determining the sign of the leading coefficient, minimum possible degree, x-intercepts and y-intercept from a given polynomial graph.
This lesson unit is intended to help teachers assess how well students are able to translate between graphs and algebraic representations of polynomials. In particular, this unit aims to help you identify and assist students who have difficulties in: recognizing the connection between the zeros of polynomials when suitable factorizations are available, and graphs of the functions defined by polynomials; and recognizing the connection between transformations of the graphs and transformations of the functions obtained by replacing f(x) by f(x + k), f(x) + k, -f(x), f(-x).
