- Representations of linear, quadratic, and exponential relationships using graphs, tables, equations, and contexts.
- Symbolic manipulation of expressions in order to solve problems, such as factoring, distributing, multiplying polynomials, expanding exponential expressions, etc.
- Analysis of the slope of a line multiple ways, including graphically, numerically, contextually (as a rate of change), and algebraically.
- Solving equations and inequalities using a variety of strategies, including rewriting (such as factoring, distributing, or completing the square), undoing (such as extracting the square root or subtracting a term from both sides of an equation), and looking inside (such as determining the possible values of the argument of an absolute value expression).
- Solving systems of two equations and inequalities with two variables using a variety of strategies, both graphically and algebraically.
- Representations of arithmetic and geometric sequences, including tables, graphs, and explicit or recursive formulas.
- Use of exponential models to solve problems, and to compare to linear models.
- Investigation of a variety of functions including square root, cube root, absolute value, piecewise-defined, step, and simple inverse functions.
- Use of function notation.
- Statistical analysis of two-variable data, including determining regression lines, correlation coefficients, and creating residual plots.
- The differences between association and causation, and interpretation of correlation in context.
- Comparison of distributions of one-variable data.
