Special Notes This document was written to support both the regular and Pre-AP versions of the Precalculus course. Specific local objectives which differentiate the expectations for Pre-AP are designated by adding the following at the end of the objective: (Pre-AP) This local curriculum document was developed from the 2010 Alabama Course of Study for Mathematics which was itself based on the newly adopted Common Core State Standards for Mathematics. State COS standards are keyed to CCSS (i.e. Common Core) standards using the lettering and number system employed by the CCSS so that instructional resources which are subsequently designed to support the CCSS can be easily matched back to lessons based on state and local requirements. The symbol (+) is used to designate standards based on mathematics content that students should learn in order to take advanced courses such as calculus. An asterisk (*) is used to designate standards where modeling with mathematics should be stressed because modeling is best interpreted through a relevant context rather than as an isolated topic. The state map of Alabama or the designation (AL) is used to denote additional standards required by the Alabama Board of Education which extend beyond the minimum content defined by the CCSS.

Precalculus Mathematics: 2012-13 to 2017-18 Hoover City Schools

Page 22 of 23

The Standards for Mathematical Practice describe the varieties of expertise that mathematics educators at all levels should seek to develop in their students. These standards were developed with input from the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and the National Research Council, and math teachers should reinforce these process skills when designing daily instructional lessons for students at all grade levels in the Hoover school system:

1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others 4. Model with mathematics 5. Use appropriate tools strategically 6. Attend to precision 7. Look for and make use of structure 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning

According to the Alabama Quality Teaching Standards (AQTS), teachers of all grade levels and subjects are required to model and reinforce literacy skills for all students. The Alabama Course of Study for Mathematics defines specific college and career readiness “anchor standards” for grades 6-12 in the areas of reading and writing. Specific grade-appropriate criteria can be found in the state course of study document, but the general anchor standards are defined below:

Reading Key Ideas and Details

1. Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text.

2. Determine central ideas or themes of a text and analyze their development; summarize the key supporting details and ideas.

3. Analyze how and why individuals, events, or ideas develop and interact over the course of a text. Craft and Structure

4. Interpret words and phrases as they are used in a text, including determining technical, connotative, and figurative meanings, and analyze how specific word choices shape meaning or tone.

5. Analyze the structure of texts, including how specific sentences, paragraphs, and larger portions of the text (e.g. a section, chapter, scene, or stanza) relate to each other and the whole.

6. Assess how point of view or purpose shapes the content and style of a text. Integration of Knowledge and Ideas

7. Integrate and evaluate content presented in diverse formats and media, including visually and quantitatively, as well as in words.

8. Delineate and evaluate the argument and specific claims in a text, including the validity of the reasoning as well as the

Precalculus Mathematics: 2012-13 to 2017-18 Hoover City Schools

Page 23 of 23

relevance and sufficiency of the evidence. 9. Analyze how two or more texts address similar themes or topics in order to build knowledge or to compare the

approaches the authors take. Range of Reading and Level of Text Complexity

10. Read and comprehend complex literary and informational texts independently and proficiently. Writing

Text Types and Purposes 1. Write arguments to support claims in an analysis of substantive topics or texts using valid reasoning and relevant and

sufficient evidence. 2. Write informative / explanatory texts to examine and convey complex ideas and information clearly and accurate

through the effective selection, organization, and analysis of content. 3. Write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective technique, well-chosen details, and

well-structured event sequences. Production and Distribution of Writing

4. Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization, and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience.

5. Develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach. 6. Use technology, including the Internet, to produce and publish writing and to interact and collaborate with others.

Research to Build and Present Knowledge 7. Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects based on focused questions, demonstrating understanding

of the subject under investigation. 8. Gather relevant information from multiple print and digital sources, assess the credibility and accuracy of each source,

and integrate the information while avoiding plagiarism. 9. Draw evidence form literary or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research.

Range of Writing 10. Write routinely over extended time frames (time for research, reflection, and revision) and short time frames (a single

sitting or a day or two) for a range of tasks, purposes, and audiences.
