 I. Competencias a desarrollar
No. COMPETENCIAS
1 Review of basic terminology. Numerical patterns are discussed that
lead to arithmetic sequences, lines and linear models. Geometric
sequences are introduced. Introduce solving equations graphically
and review techniques for finding algebraic solutions of various
types of equations and inequalities.
2 Explore functions and their graphs, transformations, operations on functions, inverse
Discuss functions in detail and stresses transformations of parent
functions. The different quotient, a basic building block of
differential calculus, in introduced as a rate of change function.
3 Students will learn about polynomial functions and their quotients, rational functions.
Explore and explain polynomial and rational functions, introduces
complex numbers, and Mandelbrot set. Finally, the Fundamental
Theorem of Algebra is introduced.
METAS (INDICADORES)
Students will learn about the real number system, relations and functions. They will
study different number patterns, including arithmetic and geometric sequences, and
review the concepts of lines and linear models.
Students will solve equations and inequalities. They will use algebraic, graphical and
geometric techniques. The equations and inequalities will involve expressions of the
following types: polynomial, absolute-value, radical and rational.
Students will solve applications problems.

 4 Students will study radical, rational exponents and exponential functions. They will
Review and extend topics on exponential and logarithmic functions study common and natural logarithms, including their properties and laws, as well as
and apply them to real world situations. logarithmic functions to other bases. They will solve exponential and logarithmic
equations and use exponential and logarithmic models to describe data.

5 Students will use right-triangle trigonometry and the six trigonometric ratios to explore
Introduce trigonometry as ratios in right triangles, expand the many different applications. They will also study trigonometry from a functional
discussion to include angle functions, and then present perspective, using the unit circle. They will discover basic trigonometric identities.
trigonometric ratios as functions of real numbers. Discuss the basic Students will study graphs of the six trigonometric functions. They will apply prior
trigonometric identities and periodicity. Introduce graphs of knowledge of reflections, stretches, compressions, shifts, and symmetry to the
trigonometric functions and discuss amplitude and phase shift. trigonometric functions.
