Unit 1 Overview
Content Area: Mathematics
Unit Title: Introduction to SAT’s and Arithmetic Skills & Concepts
Target Course/Grade Level: SAT PREP MATH / Grade 11
Unit Summary
• All numbers that appear on the SAT are real numbers. Real numbers include all the different types of
numbers, both positive and negative, you encountered in arithmetic and beginning algebra classes.
• A variable is a symbol that serves as a placeholder for an unknown member of a given set of numbers. Letters of the alphabet such as a, b, and x are used as variables to help make general statements about how
numbers behave.
Primary interdisciplinary connections: language arts
21st century themes:
WORK.9-12.9.1.12 - [Standard] - All students will demonstrate creative, critical thinking,
collaboration and problem solving skills to function successfully as global citizens and
workers in diverse ethnic and organizational cultures.
WORK.9-12.9.1.12.1 - [Content Statement] - The ability to recognize a problem and apply
critical thinking and problem-solving skills to solve the problem is a lifelong skill that develops over
time.
WORK.9-12.9.1.12.A.1 - [Cumulative Progress Indicator] - Apply critical thinking and problem-solving
strategies during structured learning experiences.
Unit Rationale

read and learn in school, their lives, and their futures. An engaging and effective curriculum provides opportunities for exploration and exposure to new ideas. Real-world learning experiences provide students with opportunities to
transfer and apply knowledge in new diverse situations.

Unit Rationale
Current testing has shown that students generally do well in computation, but do poorly on items involving
reading a word problem and solving it. The student must learn to translate the verbal into mathematical
language using often times a formula or equation. A guided plan for students in order to solve problems is
of utmost importance in the teaching of word problems. With repeated practice, students improve when they
learn and use the terminology needed to decipher what operation(s) to use when solving. Students need to
discover relationships between problems to gain familiarity in solving them. Real world problems and
multi-tasks involving finding and writing your solution, will allow students to become more comfortable
and familiar with the terminology and strategies needed to succeed.

Standards
MA.9-12. - With each extension of number, the meanings of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and
division are extended. In each new number system-integers, rational numbers, real numbers, and complex
numbers-the four operations stay the same in two important ways: They have the commutative, associative, and distributive properties and their new meanings are consistent with their previous meanings.
MA.9-12. - Extending the properties of whole-number exponents leads to new and productive notation.
For example, properties of whole-number exponents suggest that (5 to the 1/3 power should be 5 to the
(1/3) power = 5 = 5 and that 5 to the 1/3 power should be the cube root of 5. MA.9-12. - Calculators, spreadsheets, and computer algebra systems can provide ways for students to
become better acquainted with these new number systems and their notation. They can be used to
generate data for numerical experiments, to help understand the workings of matrix, vector, and complex number algebra, and to experiment with non-integer exponents.

Instruction that is clearly relevant to today’s rapidly changing world is at the forefront of unit design.
Content knowledge cannot by itself lead all students to academic achievement. Classes and projects that
spark student interest and provide a rationale for why the content is worth learning, enable students to make
connections between what they read and learn in school, their lives, and their futures. An engaging and
effective curriculum provides opportunities for exploration and exposure to new ideas. Real-world learning
experiences provide students with opportunities to transfer and apply knowledge in new diverse situations.

Buena Regional High School SAT Math Curriculum
Common Core State Standards June 2012
Created for New Jersey school districts through a project of the New Jersey Department of Education, Office of Academic Standards, in partnership with the N.J Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development and the N.J. Principals and Supervisors Association.
MA.9-12.HSA-REI.4 - [Standard] - Solve quadratic equations in one variable.
MA.9-12.HSA-REI.4.a - Use the method of completing the square to transform any quadratic equation in x into an equation of the form (x - p) = q that has the same solutions. Derive the quadratic formula from this form.
MA.9-12.HSA-REI.4.b - Solve quadratic equations by inspection (e.g., for x = 49), taking square roots,
completing the square, the quadratic formula and factoring, as appropriate to the initial form of the equation. Recognize when the quadratic formula gives complex solutions and write them as a bi for real numbers a and b.
MA.9-12.HSA-REI.C - [Cluster Statement] - Solve systems of equations
MA.9-12.HSA-REI.5 - [Standard] - Prove that, given a system of two equations in two variables, replacing one
equation by the sum of that equation and a multiple of the other produces a system with the same solutions. MA.9-12.HSA-REI.6 - [Standard] - Solve systems of linear equations exactly and approximately (e.g., with
graphs), focusing on pairs of linear equations in two variables.
MA.9-12.HSA-REI.7 - [Standard] - Solve a simple system consisting of a linear equation and a quadratic equation in two variables algebraically and graphically.
MA.9-12.HSA-REI.8 - [Standard] - Represent a system of linear equations as a single matrix equation in a vector
variable. MA.9-12.HSA-REI.9 - [Standard] - Find the inverse of a matrix if it exists and use it to solve systems of linear
equations (using technology for matrices of dimension 3 � 3 or greater).
MA.9-12.HSA-REI.D - [Cluster Statement] - Represent and solve equations and inequalities graphically
MA.9-12.HSA-REI.10 - [Standard] - Understand that the graph of an equation in two variables is the set of all its solutions plotted in the coordinate plane, often forming a curve (which could be a line).
MA.9-12.HSA-REI.11 - [Standard] - Explain why the x-coordinates of the points where the graphs of the
equations y = f(x) and y = g(x) intersect are the solutions of the equation f(x) = g(x); find the solutions approximately, e.g., using technology to graph the functions, make tables of values, or find successive
approximations. Include cases where f(x) and/or g(x) are linear, polynomial, rational, absolute value, exponential,
and logarithmic functions.
Standards 9.4 Career and Technical Education All students who complete a career and technical education
program will acquire academic and technical skills for careers in emerging and established professions that lead to
technical skill proficiency, credentials, certificates, licenses, and/or degrees.
Unit Essential Questions
