8.B.5 Use algebraic and analytical methods to identify and describe patterns and relationships in data, solve problems and predict results. Interpret and describe numer­ical relationships using tables, graphs and symbols. Use functions including exponential, polynomial, rational, parametric, logarithmic, and trigonometric to describe numerical relationships. 7.A.4a Apply units and scales to describe and compare numerical data and physical objects. 10.A.5 Construct a statistics-based presentat­ion, individually and as members of a team, to communicate and justify the results of a project.

Objectives:

Students will be able to:
