Test Item Specifications
  • Item Type(s): This benchmark may be assessed using: MC , FR item(s)
  • Also Assesses:

    MA.912.A.7.8 Use quadratic equations to solve realworld problems.

  • Clarification :
    Students will perform set operations such as union and intersection, complement, and cross product.
  • Content Limits :

    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.

  • Stimulus Attributes :

    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

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.

Worksheet

Quadratic Functions:

This worksheet gives students one place to show all transformations (reflections, vertical stretches/compressions, and translations) for the quadratic function. The worksheet also has a place for domain and range for each transformation.
