Your Apex Strategy Investigation Notebook

You will record methods, calculations, charts, findings, and limits from Apex match data. You will include sequences, a geometric sum, probability, and one equation or inequality. A geometric sum is the total from multiplying by the same factor each time.

Your Apex Strategy Board and Briefing

You will create an infographic. You will give a three-minute briefing supporting your recommended strategy. You will give peer feedback. Peer feedback means comments from classmates about your work. You will receive feedback. You will revise your work. You will answer questions.

HS.F-BF.A.2 - Write arithmetic and geometric sequences both recursively and with an explicit formula, use them to model situations, and translate between the two forms.
  • I can identify a simple arithmetic or geometric pattern from Apex Legends data with guidance, and I can write part of the sequence in either recursive or explicit form
  • I can explain my thinking with basic math vocabulary and use feedback to improve one step of my work.
  • I can write arithmetic and geometric sequences in recursive and explicit forms for an Apex Legends situation, and I can translate between the two forms with some accuracy
  • I can use the pattern to make a basic comparison between strategies and communicate my reasoning clearly.
  • I can accurately model an Apex Legends scenario with arithmetic or geometric sequences, translate between recursive and explicit forms, and explain how the pattern supports a strategic decision
  • I can include relevant calculations, choose reasonable accuracy, and revise my work using peer feedback.
  • I can independently create and justify an Apex Legends strategy model using arithmetic and geometric sequences in both recursive and explicit forms, and I can clearly connect the pattern to a strong gameplay decision
  • I can communicate my reasoning with precision, reflect on improvements, and use evidence to defend my strategy.

HS.S-MD.B.7 - (+) Analyze decisions and strategies using probability concepts (e.g., product testing, medical testing, pulling a hockey goalie at the end of a game).
  • I can identify a simple Apex Legends decision and name at least one possible outcome, but my comparison may be incomplete or need support
  • I can use a basic probability idea with teacher or peer help, and I may need reminders to choose a reasonable level of accuracy or explain how my answer connects to the strategy.
  • I can compare two Apex Legends strategies using probability information from a provided data set or class model, and I can explain which choice seems better
  • I can create a simple equation, inequality, or count-based model to support my thinking, and I usually round or estimate with some awareness of measurement limits.
  • I can analyze an Apex Legends strategy by using probability to compare multiple outcomes and justify a decision with evidence
  • I can accurately create and solve an equation or inequality connected to the situation, and I can choose an appropriate level of accuracy when reporting results.
  • I can independently analyze complex Apex Legends decisions with probability, clearly compare strategies, and justify the strongest choice using precise evidence
  • I can connect my probability analysis to other math models from the project, communicate my reasoning clearly, and use sensible accuracy to make my recommendation reliable and easy to understand.
Colorado
HS.A-SSE.B.4 - Use the formula for the sum of a finite geometric series (when the common ratio is not 1) to solve problems. For example, calculate mortgage payments.
  • I can identify a finite geometric pattern in an Apex Legends situation with help, and I can use the geometric series formula to find part of the total when the terms and ratio are given
  • I can show my work with a basic equation or table, but my reasoning may be incomplete or may need support to connect the math to the strategy choice.
  • I can use the formula for a finite geometric series to calculate a total from an Apex Legends scenario and explain what the total means for the strategy
  • I can write a supporting equation or inequality, round my answer appropriately, and give a clear mathematical reason for one choice over another.
  • I can independently use a finite geometric series to solve an Apex Legends strategy problem and explain how the sum affects a decision such as risk, resources, or placement
  • I can connect my result to an equation or inequality, choose sensible accuracy for the data, and justify my strategy using accurate mathematical evidence.
  • I can flexibly apply the finite geometric series formula to compare multiple Apex Legends strategies, interpret which option is strongest, and defend my recommendation with precise mathematical reasoning
  • I can integrate a clear equation or inequality, explain the impact of rounding and data limits, and communicate my conclusion so others can understand and evaluate my decision.
Colorado
HS.N-Q.A.3 - Choose a level of accuracy appropriate to limitations on measurement when reporting quantities.
  • I can report Apex Legends quantities with limited accuracy when I am given direct examples or support, but my rounding or units may be inconsistent
  • I can share a basic strategy idea and listen to feedback, though I may need help explaining how my math evidence connects to my choice.
  • I can choose an appropriate level of accuracy for most Apex Legends quantities and explain why my rounding makes sense for the data limits
  • I can use math evidence from sequences, probability, equations, or geometric sums to support a strategy and communicate my thinking clearly with some prompting.
  • I can consistently choose and justify a sensible level of accuracy for Apex Legends data, using rounding that matches the measurement limits and the situation
  • I can connect my calculations to a strategy decision with clear mathematical reasoning, revise my work from peer feedback, and present my ideas so others can follow my thinking.
  • I can independently choose the most appropriate level of accuracy for Apex Legends quantities and explain how that choice affects the meaning of my results
  • I can combine sequences, geometric sums, probability, and equations or inequalities to make a strong strategy recommendation, communicate my reasoning persuasively, and reflect on how math improves my decisions and gameplay.

HS.A-CED.A.1 - Create equations and inequalities in one variable and use them to solve problems. *Include equations arising from linear and quadratic functions, and simple rational and exponential functions.*
  • I can identify a simple one-variable equation or inequality from an Apex Legends situation with help, and I can solve it when the steps are mostly shown for me
  • I can use partial evidence from a strategy, but my explanation may be incomplete, and I may need support to choose an appropriate level of accuracy.
  • I can create and solve a one-variable equation or inequality from an Apex Legends situation with some guidance, including a linear, quadratic, rational, or exponential context
  • I can explain my strategy using evidence and choose a reasonable level of accuracy when reporting results.
  • I can independently create and solve one-variable equations or inequalities from an Apex Legends situation, including linear, quadratic, rational, or exponential models
  • I can justify why my solution fits the scenario, use appropriate accuracy, and explain how my math supports a stronger gameplay decision.
  • I can flexibly create, solve, and interpret one-variable equations or inequalities from complex Apex Legends situations, including multiple representations or constraints
  • I can compare options, defend the best strategy with precise evidence and appropriate accuracy, and clearly communicate how my mathematical reasoning improves decision-making.
