2 The student uses algebraic concepts in a variety of situations.
   2.1 The student recognizes, describes, extends, develops, and explains the general rule of a pattern in a variety of situations.
      2.1.A1 recognizes the same general pattern presented in different representations [numeric (list or table), visual (picture, table, or graph), and written] (2.4.A1i) ($).
      2.1.K1 identifies, states, and continues the following patterns using various formats including numeric (list or table), algebraic (symbolic notation), visual (picture, table, or graph), verbal (oral description), kinesthetic (action), and written
      2.1.K1A arithmetic and geometric sequences using real numbers and/or exponents (2.4.K1a); e.g., radioactive half-lives;
      2.1.K1B patterns using geometric figures (2.4.K1h);
      2.1.K1C algebraic patterns including consecutive number patterns or equations of functions, e.g., n, n + 1, n + 2, ... or f(n) = 2n – 1 (2.4.K1c,e);
      2.1.K1D special patterns (2.4.K1a), e.g., Pascal’s triangle and the Fibonacci sequence.
      2.1.K2 generates and explains a pattern (2.4.K1f).
      2.1.A2 solves real-world problems with arithmetic or geometric sequences by using the explicit equation of the sequence (2.4.K1c) ($), e.g., an arithmetic sequence: A brick wall is 3 feet high and the owners want to build it higher. If the builders can lay 2 feet every hour, how long will it take to raise it to a height of 20 feet? or a geometric sequence: A savings program can double your money every 12 years. If you place $100 in the program, how many years will it take to have over $1,000?
      2.1.K3 classify sequences as arithmetic, geometric, or neither.
      2.1.K4 defines (2.4.K1a):
      2.1.K4A a recursive or explicit formula for arithmetic sequences and finds any particular term,
      2.1.K4B a recursive or explicit formula for geometric sequences and finds any particular term.
   2.2 The student uses variables, symbols, real numbers, and algebraic expressions to solve equations and inequalities in a variety of situations.
      2.2.A1 represents real-world problems using variables, symbols, expressions, equations, inequalities, and simple systems of linear equations (2.4.A1c-e) ($).
      2.2.K1 knows and explains the use of variables as parameters for a specific variable situation (2.4.K1f), e.g., the m and b in y = mx + b or the h, k, and r in (x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2.
      2.2.K2 manipulates variable quantities within an equation or inequality (2.4.K1e), e.g., 5x – 3y = 20 could be written as 5x – 20 = 3y or 5x(2x + 3) = 8 could be written as 8/(5x) = 2x + 3.
      2.2.A2 represents and/or solves real-world problems with (2.4.A1c) ($):
      2.2.A2A linear equations and inequalities both analytically and graphically, e.g., tickets for a school play are $5 for adults and $3 for students. You need to sell at least $65 in tickets. Give an inequality and a graph that represents this situation and three possible solutions.
      2.2.A2B quadratic equations with integer solutions (may be solved by trial and error, graphing, quadratic formula, or factoring), e.g., a fence is to be built onto an existing fence. The three sides will be built with 2,000 meters of fencing. To maximize the rectangular area, what should be the dimensions of the fence?
      2.2.A2C systems of linear equations with two unknowns, e.g., when comparing two cellular telephone plans, Plan A costs $10 per month and $.10 per minute and Plan B costs $12 per month and $.07 per minute. The problem is represented by Plan A = .10x + 10 and Plan B = .07x + 12 where x is the number of minutes.
      2.2.A2D radical equations with no more than one inverse operation around the radical expression, e.g., a square rug with an area of 200 square feet is 4 feet shorter than a room. What is the length of the room?
      2.2.A2E a rational equation where the solution can be simplified as a linear equation with a nonzero denominator, e.g., John is 2 feet taller than Fred. John’s shadow is 6 feet in length and Fred’s shadow is 4 feet in length. How tall is Fred?
      2.2.A3 explains the mathematical reasoning that was used to solve a real-world problem using equations and inequalities and analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of various strategies that may have been used to solve the problem (2.4.A1c).
      2.2.K3 solves (2.4.K1d) ($):

      2.2.K3E equations where the solution to a rational equation can be simplified as a linear equation with a nonzero denominator.
      2.2.K3F equations and inequalities with absolute value quantities containing one variable with a special emphasis on using a number line and the concept of absolute value.
      2.2.K3G exponential equations with the same base without the aid of a calculator or computer, e.g., 3x + 2 = 35

      2.3.A1 translates between the numerical, graphical, and symbolic representations of functions (2.4.A1c-e) ($).

      2.3.K2 matches equations and graphs of constant and linear functions and quadratic functions limited to y = ax2 + c (2.4.K1d, f).
      2.3.A2 interprets the meaning of the x- and y- intercepts, slope, and/or points on and off the line on a graph in the context of a real-world situation (2.4.A1e) ($), e.g., the graph below represents a tank full of water being emptied. What does the y-intercept represent? What does the x-intercept represent? What is the rate at which it is emptying? What does the point (2, 25) represent in this situation? What does the point (2,30) represent in this situation?
      2.3.A3 analyzes (2.4.A1c-e):
      2.3.A3A the effects of parameter changes (scale changes or restricted domains) on the appearance of a function’s graph,
      2.3.A3B how changes in the constants and/or slope within a linear function affects the appearance of a graph,
      2.3.A3C how changes in the constants and/or coefficients within a quadratic function in the form of y = ax2 + c affects the appearance of a graph.
      2.3.K3 determines whether a graph, list of ordered pairs, table of values, or rule represents a function (2.4.K1e-f).
      2.3.K4 determines x- and y-intercepts and maximum and minimum values of the portion of the graph that is shown on a coordinate plane (2.4.K1f).
      2.3.K5 identifies domain and range of:
      2.3.K5A relationships given the graph or table (2.4.K1e-f),
      2.3.K5B linear, constant, and quadratic functions given the equation(s) (2.4.K1d).
      2.3.K6 recognizes how changes in the constant and/or slope within a linear function changes the appearance of a graph (2.4.K1f) ($).
      2.3.K7 uses function notation.
      2.3.K8 evaluates function(s) given a specific domain ($).
