Create equations that describe numbers or relationships.
For A.CED.1, use all available types of functions to create such equations, including root functions, but constrain to simple cases. While functions used in A.CED.2, 3, and 4 will often be linear, exponential, or quadratic the types of problems should draw from more complex situations than those addressed in Mathematics I. For example, finding the equation of a line through a given point perpendicular to another line allows one to find the distance from a point to a line. Note that the example given for A.CED.4 applies to earlier instances of this standard, not to the current course.
 
  • Inscribing and Circumscribing Right Triangles
    This lesson unit is intended to help educators assess how well students are able to use geometric properties to solve problems.
  • Mathematical Modeling A.CED.1 - A.CED.4 Curriculum Guide
    The Utah State Office of Education (USOE) and educators around the state of Utah developed these guides for the Secondary Mathematics III Cluster "Create Equations that Describe Numbers or Relationships" / Standards A.CED.1, A.CED.2, A.CED.3 and A.CED.4.
  • Optimization Problems: Boomerangs
    This lesson unit is intended to help educators assess how well students are able to interpret a situation and represent the constraints and variables mathematically, select appropriate mathematical methods to use, explore the effects of systematically varying the constraints, and interpret and evaluate the data generated and identify the optimum case, checking it for confirmation.
