RULE §111.43Mathematical Models with Applications, Adopted 2012 (One Credit)

    (A) use trigonometric ratios and functions available through technology to model periodic behavior in art and music;

    (B) use similarity, geometric transformations, symmetry, and perspective drawings to describe mathematical patterns and structure in art and photography;

    (C) use geometric transformations, proportions, and periodic motion to describe mathematical patterns and structure in music; and

    (D) use scale factors with two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects to demonstrate proportional and non-proportional changes in surface area and volume as applied to fields.

  (8) Mathematical modeling in social sciences. The student applies mathematical processes to determine the number of elements in a finite sample space and compute the probability of an event. The student is expected to:

    (A) determine the number of ways an event may occur using combinations, permutations, and the Fundamental Counting Principle;

    (B) compare theoretical to empirical probability; and

    (C) use experiments to determine the reasonableness of a theoretical model such as binomial or geometric.

  (9) Mathematical modeling in social sciences. The student applies mathematical processes and mathematical models to analyze data as it applies to social sciences. The student is expected to:

    (A) interpret information from various graphs, including line graphs, bar graphs, circle graphs, histograms, scatterplots, dot plots, stem-and-leaf plots, and box and whisker plots, to draw conclusions from the data and determine the strengths and weaknesses of conclusions;

    (B) analyze numerical data using measures of central tendency (mean, median, and mode) and variability (range, interquartile range or IQR, and standard deviation) in order to make inferences with normal distributions;

    (C) distinguish the purposes and differences among types of research, including surveys, experiments, and observational studies;

    (D) use data from a sample to estimate population mean or population proportion;

    (E) analyze marketing claims based on graphs and statistics from electronic and print media and justify the validity of stated or implied conclusions; and

    (F) use regression methods available through technology to model linear and exponential functions, interpret correlations, and make predictions.

  (10) Mathematical modeling in social sciences. The student applies mathematical processes to design a study and use graphical, numerical, and analytical techniques to communicate the results of the study. The student is expected to:

    (A) formulate a meaningful question, determine the data needed to answer the question, gather the appropriate data, analyze the data, and draw reasonable conclusions; and

    (B) communicate methods used, analyses conducted, and conclusions drawn for a data-analysis project through the use of one or more of the following: a written report, a visual display, an oral report, or a multi-media presentation.
