Algebra 1 P - MA5003
Algebra 1 P - MA5003
Grade: 9
Prerequisite: Completion of Math 8
This is the first course in a common core based college preparatory math sequence. This course builds on and deepens the conceptual understanding of linear function from CC Math 8. The main purpose of Algebra 1 P is to develop students’ fluency with linear, quadratic and exponential functions. The critical areas of instruction involve deepening and extending students’ understanding of linear and exponential relationships by contrasting them with
each other and by applying linear models to data that exhibit a linear trend. In addition, students engage in methods for analyzing, solving, and using exponential and quadratic functions and equations. Some of the overarching ideas in the Algebra 1 P course include: the notion of function, solving equations and inequalities, rates of change and growth patterns, working with sequences, understanding absolute value relationships, graphs as representations of functions, and modeling. Since the Standards for Mathematical Practice will be woven throughout each unit of the course, students will analyze each other’s work, make and prove conjectures, use tools to experiment and validate conclusions, and problem solve.
