If <strong>the</strong> two square<br />

regions in <strong>the</strong><br />

figures below have<br />

<strong>the</strong> respective<br />

areas indicated in<br />

square yards, how<br />

many yards of<br />

fencing are needed<br />

to enclose <strong>the</strong> two<br />

regions?<br />

An equation of <strong>the</strong><br />

line that contains<br />

<strong>the</strong> origin and <strong>the</strong><br />

point (1, 2) is<br />

2.1.2 The student will identify <strong>the</strong> domain,<br />

range, <strong>the</strong> rule, or o<strong>the</strong>r essential<br />

characteristics of a function.<br />

2.4 The student will describe or graph notable<br />

features of a function using standard<br />

ma<strong>the</strong>matical terminology and appropriate<br />

technology.<br />

2.7 The student will use <strong>the</strong> appropriate skills to<br />

assist in <strong>the</strong> analysis of functions.<br />

1.1.1 The student will determine and interpret a<br />

linear function when given a graph, table of<br />

values, essential characteristics of <strong>the</strong> function,<br />

or a verbal description of a real-world situation.<br />

APPENDICES<br />

Somehat missing; There is a<br />

set of VSC for geometry<br />

The coordinate plane is implicit<br />

in graphing—describe <strong>the</strong><br />

domain assumes knowledge of<br />

<strong>the</strong> plane.<br />

Not in VSC<br />

This is again implicit.<br />

Well covered<br />

Coverage here is somewhat<br />

weak.<br />
