ARM 10.54.4043. BENCHMARK FOR MATHEMATICS CONTENT STANDARD 4 UPON GRADUATION

(1) The benchmark for mathematics content standard 4 for a student upon graduation is the ability to: (a) represent functions in a variety of ways including tables, graphs or diagrams, verbal descriptions, and symbolic expressions in recursive and explicit form and justify the choice of an appropriate form for solving a given problem; (b) determine the appropriate symbolic representation of a given contextual situation (e.g., variables and parameters in equations, inequalities, functions, and matrices); (c) solve a variety of equations, inequalities and systems of equations and inequalities, justify the solution process, and interpret the solution in context; (d) analyze the effects of transformations on families of functions and recognize their characteristics and represent and use functions in equivalent forms to identify and perform transformations; and (e) given data or a problem situation, select and use an appropriate function model to analyze results or make a prediction with and without technology using cultural contexts, including those of Montana American Indians.
