In Algebra I students will increase their procedural skill and fluency in solving linear equations and inequalities in one variable. Additionally, students will deepen their understanding of linear equations and inequalities in two variables. Also, the course will emphasize modeling with linear equations and inequalities, culminating with solving systems of both linear equations and inequalities. From there, the course shifts to developing a deeper understanding of functions. Students will focus on linear and exponential functions by exploring situations that could be modeled by either a linear function or an exponential function. Then students will move to studying quadratic equations and functions, including identifying key elements of graphs, transformations with functions, and identifying domain and range. Students will apply these newly developed understandings and skills with functions to simple radical functions and then to piecewise-defined functions. The course concludes with a study of bivariate and univariate statistics to develop necessary understandings and skills the students will need for their study of statistics in Algebra II. Standards Clarification for Algebra I • • Some standards may be revisited several times during the course; others may be only partially addressed in different units, depending on the focus of the unit. Comments are included throughout the document to clarify and provide additional background for each unit. Some standards are addressed in both Algebra I and Algebra II. The relevance to Algebra I is discussed in the Assessment Limits and Clarifications column. Mathematical Practices Recommendations for Algebra I Two overarching practices relevant to Algebra I are: • Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them (MP.1). • Model with mathematics (MP.4). Specific modeling standards appear throughout the high school standards indicated by a star (★) symbol. Indeed, other mathematical practices in Algebra I might be seen as contributing specific elements of these two. The intent of the following set is not to decompose the above mathematical practices into component parts but rather to show how the mathematical practices work together. • Reason abstractly and quantitatively (MP.2). This practice standard refers to one of the hallmarks of algebraic reasoning, the process of decontextualization and contextualization. Much of elementary algebra involves creating abstract algebraic models of problems (A-CED, F-BF) and then transforming the models via algebraic calculations (A-SSE, A-APR, F-IF) to reveal properties of the problems. • Use appropriate tools strategically (MP.5). Spreadsheets, a function modeling language, graphing tools, and many other technologies can be used strategically to gain understanding of the ideas expressed by individual content standards and to model with mathematics. • Attend to precision (MP.6). In algebra, the habit of using precise language is not only a mechanism for effective communication but also a tool for understanding and solving problems. Describing an idea precisely (A-CED, A-REI) helps students understand the idea in new ways. • Look for and make use of structure (MP.7). For example, writing a practice many teachers refer to as “chunking,’’ highlights the structural similarity between this expression and z2 + 5z + 6, leading to a factorization of the original: ( (7x) + 3) ( (7x) + 2) (A-SSE, A-APR). • Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning (MP.8). Creating equations or functions to model situations is harder for many students than working with the resulting expressions. An effective way to help students develop the skill of describing general relationships is to work through several specific examples and then express what they are doing with algebraic symbolism (A-CED). For example, when comparing two different text messaging plans, many students who can compute the cost for a given number of minutes have a hard time writing general formulas that express the cost of each plan for any number of minutes. Constructing these formulas can be facilitated by methodically calculating the cost for several different input values and then expressing the steps in the calculation, first in words and then in algebraic symbols. Once such expressions are obtained, students can find the break-even point for the two plans, graph the total cost against the number of messages sent, and make a complete analysis of the two plans. Page 3 Mathematics Algebra I – Year in Detail (SAMPLE) Fluency Recommendations for Algebra I A/G: Algebra I students become fluent in solving characteristic problems involving the analytic geometry of lines, such as writing down the equation of a line given a point and a slope. Such fluency can support them in solving less routine mathematical problems involving linearity, as well as in modeling linear phenomena (including modeling using systems of linear inequalities in two variables). A-APR.1: Fluency in adding, subtracting, and multiplying polynomials supports students throughout their work in algebra, as well as in their symbolic work with functions. Manipulation can be more mindful when it is fluent. A-SSE.1b: Fluency in transforming expressions and chunking (parts of an expression as a single object) is essential in factoring, completing the square, and other algebraic calculations. Page 4 Mathematics Algebra I – Year in Detail (SAMPLE) Possible time frame: 12 days Unit 1: Solving Single-Variable Equations and Inequalities In this unit students will extend the work of the last three years and use linear equations and inequalities in one variable to model and solve real-world and mathematical problems. The ultimate goal of this unit is for students to be able to rearrange a formula to highlight a quantity of interest and understand this process as using the same reasoning as in solving equations. This will allow for students to use units as a way to understand problems and to guide their solution to multi-step problems by choosing and interpreting units consistently in formulas. Students will continue to use their conceptual understanding as well as their procedural skill and fluency in solving equations throughout the course to solve systems of linear equations and quadratic equations.

Page 5 Mathematics Algebra I – Year in Detail (SAMPLE) Possible time frame: 10 days Unit 2: Linear Equations and Inequalities th th In 8 grade students developed a deep conceptual understanding of the equation for a line and slope as a rate of change. Additionally students will leave the 8 grade able to fluently graph linear equations in the form y=mx+b. In this unit students will extend their work in graphing linear equations to graphing linear inequalities. Students will also understand that the graph of an equation in two variables is the set of all its solutions plotted in the coordinate plane. This understanding can then be extended to the graph of a linear inequality in two variables.

Page 6 Mathematics Algebra I – Year in Detail (SAMPLE) Possible time frame: 15 days Unit 3: Systems of Linear Equations and Inequalities th In 8 grade students were introduced to systems of linear equations and developed a conceptual understanding of the solution to a system of linear equations as the point of intersection of their graphs which is the point that satisfies both equations simultaneously. Students also solved systems of linear equations algebraically as well as estimated the solution to a system by graphing. This unit will extend the students work with systems of linear equations to include a focus on modeling with systems of linear equations and systems of linear inequalities. In this unit students will increase their procedural skill and fluency in solving systems of linear equations exactly and approximately (e.g., with graphs) and develop the ability to select a solution method based on the specific system they are trying to solve. Assessment Limits and Clarifications Major Cluster Standards Create equations that describe numbers or relationships HSA-CED.A.3 Represent constraints by equations or inequalities, and by systems of equations and/or inequalities, and interpret solutions as viable or nonviable options in a modeling context.

Page 7 Mathematics Algebra I – Year in Detail (SAMPLE) Possible time frame: 15 days Unit 4: Evaluating Functions In this unit students extend their work with functions in grade 8 to develop a more sophisticated understanding of a function including function notation. After function notation is established, students will evaluate functions. As students evaluate functions using their graphs they will begin developing an understanding of function transformations which will be discussed more thoroughly in Unit 9. Also in this unit students will graph functions by creating a table of values. Function types are not limited in this unit but should focus on linear, exponential, quadratic, and radical functions. Through graphing their own functions, students will deepen their understanding of function transformations. Graphing will also provide students the opportunity to apply their conceptual understanding of domain and range as it relates to the function rule and its corresponding graph. Major Cluster Standards Understand the concept of a function and use function notation HSF-IF.A.1 Understand that a function from one set (called the domain) to another set (called the range) assigns to each element of the domain exactly one element of the range. If f is a function and x is an element of its domain, then f(x) denotes the output of f corresponding to the input x. The graph of f is the graph of the equation y = f(x). HSF-IF.A.2 Use function notation, evaluate functions for inputs in their domains, and interpret statements that use function notation in terms of a context. HSF-IF.A.3 Recognize that sequences are functions, sometimes defined recursively, whose domain is a subset of the integers. For example, the Fibonacci sequence is defined recursively by f(0) = f(1) = 1, f(n+1) = f(n) + f(n-1) for n ≥ 1. Interpret functions that arise in applications in terms of the context HSF-IF.B.5 Relate the domain of a function to its graph and, where applicable, to the quantitative relationship it describes. For example, if the function h(n) gives the number of person-hours it takes to assemble n engines in a factory, then the positive integers would be an appropriate domain for the function.★ Additional Cluster Standards Build new functions from existing functions HSF-BF.B.3 Identify the effect on the graph of replacing f(x) by f(x) + k, k f(x), f(kx), and f(x + k) for specific values of k (both positive and negative); find the value of k given the graphs. Experiment with cases and illustrate an explanation of the effects on the graph using technology. Include recognizing even and odd functions from their graphs and algebraic expressions for them. Assessment Limits and Clarifications Modeling standard ★ HSF-IF.B.5 As students explore specific function types in Units 8, 9, and 10, they will continue to relate the domain of a function to its graph and, in context, to the quantitative relationship it describes. Assessment Limits and Clarifications HSF-BF.B.3 As students explore quadratic functions in Unit 8, they will formalize their understanding of function transformations and then use this understanding in Units 9 and 10. HSF-BF.B.3 i) Identifying the effect on the graph of replacing f(x) by f(x) + k, k f(x), f(kx), and f(x + k) for specific values of k are limited to linear and quadratic functions. ii) Experimenting and illustrating an explanation of the effects on the graph using technology is limited to the functions in HSF-IF.B.4, HSF-IF.B.6, and HSFIF.C.9. iii) Assessment tasks do not involve recognizing even and odd functions. Page 8 Mathematics Algebra I – Year in Detail (SAMPLE) Unit 5: Linear and Exponential Functions Possible time frame: 10 days After a broad study of functions in Unit 4 that focused on the concept of a function and the relationship between inputs and outputs, students will take a closer look at linear and exponential functions. Students will be very familiar with relationships which grow linearly, but this will be their first exposure to relationships which grow exponentially. Students will recognize real-world situations can be modeled with linear and with exponential functions. Additionally, students will write linear and exponential functions, including arithmetic and geometric sequences, given a graph, a table, a description of a relationship, or two input-output pairs. Students will use the functions they create to solve problems and will interpret the parameters of both linear and exponential functions in terms of a context. Major Cluster Standards Write expressions in equivalent forms to solve problems HSA-SSE.B.3 Choose and produce an equivalent form of an expression to reveal and explain properties of the quantity represented by the expression.★ c. Use the properties of exponents to transform expressions for exponential functions. For example the expression 1.15t can be rewritten as (1.151/12)12t ≈ 1.01212t to reveal the approximate equivalent monthly interest rate if the annual rate is 15%. Create equations that describe numbers or relationships HSA-CED.A.1 Create equations and inequalities in one variable and use them to solve problems.

This unit will focus on performing arithmetic operations with polynomials. Students will apply their understanding and skill in generating equivalent expressions involving combining like terms, the distributive property, and the properties of integer exponents to begin multiplying polynomials. Through their work with polynomial expressions with and without context, students will interpret parts of expressions including terms, factors, and coefficients; moreover, students will interpret complicated expressions in context by viewing one or more of their parts as a single entity.

Page 10 Mathematics Algebra I – Year in Detail (SAMPLE) Unit 7: Solving Quadratic Equations Possible time frame: 20 days After learning in Unit 6 how to multiply polynomials, students will learn in this unit how to undo the process of multiplying polynomials to factor polynomials. Students th began factoring work in the 6 grade where they applied the distributive property to simplify an expression involving a variable as well as to factor out a greatest common factor of an expression involving a variable. This unit will build on this work by increasing the complexity of the expressions and the complexity of applying the distributive property. This unit will begin by teaching students the necessary conceptual understanding and procedural skill and fluency in factoring quadratics to enable them to finish the unit by solving quadratic equations. Students will also solve quadratic equations that cannot be solved by factoring requiring the introduction of completing the square and then further develop into the quadratic formula. Once these alternate methods have been established, students will reengage in solving quadratic equations and extend their work to include quadratics with irrational solutions. By the end of this unit, students will be able to select the most appropriate solution method based on the initial form of the equation. Major Cluster Standards Assessment Limits and Clarifications Interpret the structure of expressions 4 4 2 2 2 2 HSA-SSE.A.2 Use the structure of an expression to identify ways to rewrite it. For example, see x – y as (x ) – (y ) , 2 2 2 2 thus recognizing it as a difference of squares that can be factored as (x – y )(x + y ).

See an opportunity to rewrite a + 9a + 14 as (a+7)(a+2). HAS-REI.A.1 i) Assessment tasks are limited to quadratic equations. HSA-REI.B.4 Students will use the skills associated with this standard in Unit 8 to graph quadratic functions. Assessment Limits and Clarifications HSA-SSE.B.3 Quadratic functions are not introduced until Unit 8; therefore the solutions for a quadratic function should not be referred to zeros until then. Page 11 Mathematics Algebra I – Year in Detail (SAMPLE) Possible time frame: 20 days Unit 8: Quadratic Functions 2 Students will begin this unit revisiting the function f(x)=x that they worked with in Unit 4 and graph the function by using by creating a table of values. From there students will 2 reengage with function transformations to graph quadratic functions and to generate a general form for a quadratic function (f(x)=a(x-h) +k). After developing their conceptual understanding of quadratic functions and procedural skill and fluency in graphing them, students will begin working with quadratic functions in different forms that will lead them to using other methods for graphing. Quadratic functions that model real-world relationships between quantities will be presented to students in this unit, and students will compare quadratic functions presented in different forms As students analyze and graph quadratic functions, the topic of domain should be revisited in this new context. Students will also identify key features of quadratic graphs and will interpret the meaning of these features in the context of the real-world relationship the graph models.

In this unit students will be responsible for graphing various piecewise-defined functions with an initial focus on linear functions leading to the concepts of step functions and absolute value functions. To begin this unit, students will explore real-world situations that require multiple function rules to model a given situation. Students will begin by graphing piecewise-linear functions and will extend this to include all previously graphed function types. Absolute value and step functions are among the various piecewise-defined functions students will graph in this unit. Students will again use their conceptual understanding of function transformations to graph various absolute value functions and step functions. Students will also identify key features of a graph and interpret the meaning of these features in the context of the real-world relationship the graph models.

This unit will support and enhance the students’ conceptual understanding of functions and their ability to model real-world situations. The students will begin this unit by summarizing categorical data for two categories in two-way frequencies tables. From there students will represent data on two quantitative variables on a scatter plot and describe how the variables are related. They will extend their work to begin fitting a function to the data and using those functions to solve problems in the context of the data. Beyond informally assessing the fit of a function to a data set, students will compute (using technology) and interpret the correlation coefficient of a linear fit.

HSN-Q.A.2 This standard will be assessed in Algebra I by ensuring that some modeling tasks (involving Algebra I content or securely held content from grades 6-8) require the student to create a quantity of interest in the situation being described (i.e., a quantity of interest is not selected for the student by the task). For example, in a situation involving data, the student might autonomously decide that a measure of center is a key variable in a situation, and then choose to work with the mean.

This unit will utilize statistical concepts and skills the students learned in th th the 6 and 7 grades and use them to develop more sophisticated statistical concepts and skills. Students will represent data sets graphically by plotting on the real number line including dot plots, histograms, and box plots and use their graphical displays to make observations about the shape and distribution of the data. Students will then use measures of center (median, mean) and spread (interquartile range, standard deviation) appropriate to the shape of the data distribution to compare two or more data sets. Additionally students will explore more closely the differences in shape, center, and spread accounting for possible effects of extreme data points (outliers) and interpret these differences within the context of the data sets.
