Common Core State Standards
The Standards define the knowledge and skills students should have
within their K-12 education careers so that they will graduate from
high school able to succeed in entry-level, credit-
bearing academic college courses and in workforce
training programs.
K-12 Standards
• Mathematics
• English Language Arts(Reading, Writing, Speaking &
Listening)Includes: Literacy in
History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects, 6-12
The Common Core State Standards:
Are aligned with college and workforce expectations;Are clear, understandable and consistent;Include rigorous content and application of knowledge
through high-order skills;Build upon strengths and lessons of current state
standards;Are informed by standards in other top performing
countries, so that all students are prepared to succeed in our global economy and society; and
Are evidence-based.

Interpret the structure of expressions 1. Interpret expressions that represent a quantity in terms of its context.*
b. Interpret complicated expressions by viewing one or more of their parts as a single entity. For example, interpret P(1+r)n as the product of P and a factor not depending on P.

Number & Quantity The Complex Number System
Represent complex numbers and their operations on the complex plane.4. (+) Represent complex numbers on the complex plane in rectangular and polar form (including real and imaginary numbers), and explain why the rectangular and polar forms of a give complex number represent the same number. 5. (+) Represent addition, subtraction, multiplication, and conjugation of complex numbers geometrically on the complex plane; use properties of this representation for computation. For example, (-1 + √3 i)3 = 8 because (-1 + √3 i) has modulus 2 and argument 1200.6. (+) Calculate the distance between numbers in the complex plane as the modulus of the difference, and the midpoint of a segment as the average of the numbers at its endpoints.
