Informational Material

Overview:

In 1979 China introduced its one-child policy. Communist leaders hoped to raise the average annual income to $1000 a person. They felt that the rising population was holding back China's economy. Today, China's rate of population growth has slowed and its economy has soared. Did the one-child policy cause the change?

This informational material will apply a precalculus concept--the rate of change of a function--to a current issue in sociology--patterns of population change. There are links to additional information included.

Content Standard(s):

Social Studies SS2010 (2010) Grade: 9-12 Sociology	11 ) Contrast population patterns using the birth rate, death rate, migration rate, and dependency rate. • Identifying the impact of urbanization on human social patterns • Analyzing factors that affect the depletion of natural resources for their impact on social and economic development • Projecting future population patterns Unpacked Content Strand: Elective Course Title: Sociology Evidence Of Student Attainment: Students: Contrast population patterns using different factors. Analyze the impact of urbanization on human social patterns. Evaluate the factors that affect the depletion of natural resources. Teacher Vocabulary: population patterns birth rate death rate migration rate dependency rate urbanization depletion natural resources Knowledge: Students know: How human social patterns affect population change. The factors that lead to resource depletion. Skills: Students are able to: Analyze population patterns. Understand how human social patterns affect population change. Analyze factors that lead to resource depletion. Project future population patterns. Understanding: Students understand that: There are different rates that affect population change. You use current knowledge of factors that affect population change to determine future population patterns. There are factors that lead to resource depletion.
Mathematics MA2019 (2019) Grade: 9-12 Precalculus	25. Calculate and interpret the average rate of change of a function (presented symbolically or as a table) over a specified interval. Estimate the rate of change from a graph. Extend from polynomial, exponential, logarithmic, and radical to rational and all trigonometric functions. a. Find the difference quotient ^{f(x+�"x)-f(x)}/_�"x of a function and use it to evaluate the average rate of change at a point. b. Explore how the average rate of change of a function over an interval (presented symbolically or as a table) can be used to approximate the instantaneous rate of change at a point as the interval decreases.
