This course is a rigorous study designed for the student who excels in both ability and performance in mathematics. The critical areas of this course deepen and extend understanding of the number system and of linear and exponential relationships by contrasting them with each other and by applying linear models to statistical data that exhibit a linear trend, and students engage in methods for analyzing, solving, and using quadratic functions. The standards for these critical areas fall into three reporting categories: Algebra and Modeling, Functions and Modeling, and, Statistics and the Number System. The Standards for Mathematical Practice apply throughout each course and, together with the content standards, prescribe that students experience mathematics as a coherent, useful, and logical subject that makes use of their ability to make sense of real-world scenarios. Students must participate in the End-of-Course examination.
