  • Instructional time should focus on five critical areas:

    • Matrices and Analysis of Functions
    • Rational Functions
    • Inverse Functions
    • Trigonometric Functions and Applications
    • Coordinate Systems and Conic Sections

    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.
      9.
