Jan 26, 2016 - In Topic E students apply the knowledge developed in this module to understand how first-person video games use matrix operations to project three-dimensional objects onto two-dimensional screens and...

Jan 26, 2016 - Topic C provides a third context for the appearance of matrices via the study of systems of linear equations.  Students see that a system of linear equations can be represented as a single matrix...

Jan 26, 2016 - In Topic A, students look at incidence relationships in networks and encode information about them via high-dimensional matrices.  Questions on counting routes, the results of combining networks,...

Jan 26, 2016 - In Topic B, students develop an understanding that when complex numbers are considered points in the Cartesian plane, complex number multiplication has the geometric effect of a rotation followed by...

Jan 26, 2016 - In Topic A, students both review what they already know about exponential expressions and functions with integer exponents, and extend the meaning of an exponential expression to allow for first...

Jan 26, 2016 - Students extend their facility with solving polynomial equations to working with complex zeros.  Complex numbers are introduced via their relationship with geometric transformations.  The topic...

Jan 26, 2016 - Students apply their experiences from Topic A as they transform quadratic functions from standard form to vertex form, (x) = a(x - h)2 + k in Topic B.  The strategy known as completing the square is...

Jan 26, 2016 - Tables, graphs, and equations all represent models.  We use terms such as “symbolic” or “analytic” to refer specifically to the equation form of a function model; “descriptive model” refers to a...
