In the Skyline Advanced Algebra course, students apply the accumulation of learning that they have from their previous courses. Students expand their catalog of function types to include polynomial, rational, logarithmic, and trigonometric. They apply methods from probability and statistics to draw inferences and conclusions from data. And, finally, students bring together all of their experience with functions and geometry to create models and solve contextual problems. The Mathematical Practice Standards applied throughout each course, together with the content standards, create mathematical learning experiences based upon reasoning and sense-making, building perseverance, problem-solving skills, and mathematical discourse.
