Overarching Standard Description:
The student will organize, synthesize, create, and communicate information.

Standard:
Use information and technology creatively to answer a question, solve a problem, or enrich understanding: a. Explain how meaning is conveyed in image and sound and recognize that many media messages are constructed to generate profit, influence viewers, or both. b. Analyze design elements of various kinds of media productions and identify media messages that have embedded points of view. c. Identify capabilities and limitations of tools for organizing and using information. d. Produce media efficiently and appropriately to communicate a message to an audience. e. Design experiments, surveys, and interviews, individually or in a group as needed, to investigate research questions. f. Analyze and interpret results of experiments, surveys, and interviews, using quantitative and qualitative methods. g. Be aware of the impact of personal bias when interpreting information. h. Draw clear and appropriate conclusions supported by evidence and examples. i. Use common organizational patterns, such as logic, analogy, compare and contrast, problem and solution, cause and effect, to inform or persuade. j. Construct and test hypotheses; collect, evaluate, and employ information from multiple primary and secondary sources; and apply it in oral and written presentations, using appropriate citations.

Cluster:
Use complex numbers in polynomial identities and equations. [Polynomials with real coefficients]

Standard:
Solve quadratic equations with real coefficients that have complex solutions.

Enduring Understanding: Media arts ideas, works, and processes are shaped by the imagination, creative processes, and by experiences, both within and outside of the arts.
Essential Question(s): How do media artists generate ideas? How can ideas for media arts productions be formed and developed to be effective and original?
Process Component(s): Conceive

Performance Standard(s):
Use identified generative methods to formulate multiple ideas, develop artistic goals, and problem solve in media arts creation processes.

Enduring Understanding: Media artists require a range of skills and abilities to creatively solve problems within and through media arts productions.
Essential Question(s): What skills are required for creating effective media artworks and how are they improved? How are creativity and innovation developed within and through media arts productions? How do media artists use various tools and techniques?
Process Component(s): Practice

Performance Standard(s):
a. Demonstrate progression in artistic, design, technical, and soft skills, as a result of selecting and fulfilling specified roles in the production of a variety of media artworks. b. Develop and refine a determined range of creative and innovative abilities, such as applications of tools, risk taking and design thinking, in addressing identified challenges and constraints within and through media arts productions.

Standard:
Write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective technique, well chosen details, and well-structured event sequences. a. Engage and orient the reader by setting out a problem, situation, or observation, establishing one or multiple point(s) of view, and introducing a narrator and/or characters; create a smooth progression of experiences or events. b. Use narrative techniques, such as dialogue, pacing, description, reflection, and multiple plot lines, to develop experiences, events, and/or characters. c. Use a variety of techniques to sequence events so that they build on one another to create a coherent whole. d. Use precise words and phrases, telling details, and sensory language to convey a vivid picture of the experiences, events, setting, and/or characters. e. Provide a conclusion that follows from and reflects on what is experienced, observed, or resolved over the course of the narrative.

Standard:
Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects to answer a question (including a self-generated question) or solve a problem; narrow or broaden the inquiry when appropriate; synthesize multiple sources on the subject, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation.

Cluster:
Use the rules of probability to compute probabilities of compound events in a uniform probability model.

Standard:
(+) Use permutations and combinations to compute probabilities of compound events and solve problems. *

Cluster:
Summarize, represent, and interpret data on two categorical and quantitative variables.

Standard:
Represent data on two quantitative variables on a scatter plot, and describe how the variables are related. * Fit a function to the data; use functions fitted to data to solve problems in the context of the data. Use given functions or choose a function suggested by the context. Emphasize linear, quadratic, and exponential models. *

Cluster:
Calculate expected values and use them to solve problems.

Standard:
(+) Define a random variable for a quantity of interest by assigning a numerical value to each event in a sample space; graph the corresponding probability distribution using the same graphical displays as for data distributions. *
