General Information
Test Item Specifications
MA.912.A.7.8 Use quadratic equations to solve realworld problems.
Students will perform set operations such as union and intersection, complement, and cross product.
Items may include set notation and symbols from set theory.
Finite sets should contain no more than a total of 15 unordered elements and no more than 30 ordered elements.
If an item follows a numerical pattern, data may be represented by infinite sets. Example: Natural numbers {1, 2, 3, 4 . . .}
Notation for the complement of set A will be limited to A' and ~A.
Items may be set in either real-world or mathematical contexts.
Graphics should be used for most of these items, as appropriate.
Sets should list all elements in the stem (e.g., do not use natural numbers between 2 and 5.).

Unit/Lesson Sequence
Name | Description |
Quadratic Functions: Workshop 4 | Lesson 1 of two lessons requires students to explore quadratic functions by examining the family of functions described by y = a (x - h)squared+ k. In Lesson 2 students explore quadratic functions by using a motion detector known as a Calculator Based Ranger (CBR) to examine the heights of the different bounces of a ball. Students will represent each bounce with a quadratic function of the form y = a (x - h)squared + k. Background information, resources, references and videos of the lessons are included. Students work in teams of four. |
