ALGEBRA I CURRICULUM ALIGNMENT

Algebra I Semester 1- Standards

1) REVIEW: Perform basic math operations with fractions and integers.

2) Recognize basic math concepts related with 0 and 1. Simplify expressions and solve equations using order of Operations.

3) Compare, order, and locate real numbers on a number line.

4) Part I: Evaluate, compute with and determine equivalent numeric and algebraic expressions with real numbers and variables that may also include absolute value and integer exponents. (Targets a - c)

4) Part II: Evaluate, compute with and determine equivalent numeric and algebraic expressions with real numbers and variables that may also include square roots, pi, and/or scientific notation. (Targets d - f)

5) Part I: Develop, identify, and/or justify equivalent expressions and one-step equations using the properties of exponents, equality as well as the commutative, associative, inverse, and distributive property. (Targets a - e)

5) Part II: Develop, identify, and/or justify equivalent multi-step equations using the properties of exponents, equality as well as the commutative, associative, inverse, identity, and distributive property. (Targets f - i)

6) Identify, construct, extend, and analyze linear patterns and functional relationships that are expressed contextually, numerically, algebraically, graphically, in tables, or using geometric figures.

7) Fluently convert among representations of linear relationships given in the form of a graph of a line, a table of values, or an equation of a line in slope-intercept and standard form.

8) REVIEW: solve 1-step equations, identify coordinates of points graphed on a coordinate plane, graph points from a given set of coordinates on the coordinate plane, and order a set of 5 real numbers

9) Given a rule, a context, two points, a table of values, a graph, or a linear equation in either slope intercept or standard form, identify the slope of the line, determine the x and/or y intercepts, and interpret the meaning of each.

10) Determine the equation of a line given any of the following information: two points on a line, its slope and one point on the line, or its graph. Also determine an equation of a new line, parallel, or perpendicular to a given line, through a given point.

11) Given a linear function, interpret and analyze the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. Solve for x given f(x) or solve for f(x) given x. Analyze how changing the parameters transforms the graph of y = mx + b.

12) Write, use, and solve linear equations and inequalities using graphical and symbolic methods with one or two variables. Represent solutions on a coordinate graph or number line.
