Algebra 1: Units of Study
This unit is an introduction to some of the foundational skills you will need in order to be successful in Algebra 1 this year. Throughout this unit, we will discover:
- How technology will be integrated into our classroom
- How to effectively work and collaborate with our peers
- What types of functions we will be learning about this year
* If you are joining my class in the middle of the school year, you should complete Lesson 1 and Lesson 2 of this unit before joining the rest of the class. Please see me if you need additional help.
Outcomes Assessed: #12, #13, Collaborate, Investigate, Communicate and Argue
In this unit we will explore how data explains our world and how we can manipulate it to make generalizations. We will learn to organize and analyze data by creating and answering our own research questions about our community.
Outcomes Assessed: #15, Collaborate, Investigate, Communicate and Argue
This self-paced unit will allow students to review and expand upon their ability to solve both equations and inequalities. At the end of this unit students will be able to solve equations and inequalities that include multiple steps, decimals, fractions, and literal equations.
Outcomes Assessed: #10, Be Precise
Throughout the course of this unit we will explore how to create equations and inqualities that model situations and how to find solutions to problems that have multiple restrictions.
Outcomes Assessed: #9, #10, Collaborate, Investigate, Communicate and Argue, Be Precise
Additional Outcomes: #6
In this unit we will use patters to explore the relationship between arithmetic and geometric sequences. We will then look closely at exponential functions, how they grow, and real world situations where they occur.
Outcomes Assessed: #6, #12, Be Precise
Additional Outcomes: #9, #10, #11, #13
This self-paced unit will allow students to review and expand upon their ability to manipulate polynomails. At the end of this unit students will be able to add, subtract, multiply and factor all different types of polynomials.
Outcomes Assessed: #6, #7, #8, #9, Collaborate, Investigate, Be Precise
This self-paced unit will allow students to review and expand upon their ability to manipulate polynomails. At the end of this unit students will be able to add, subtract, multiply and factor all different types of polynomials.
Outcomes Assessed: #7, #10, #13, Be Precise
Our final unit will bring together everything that we have been learning all year. We will explore how domain and range can change how a function looks and how functions can be altered through translation, dilation, and reflection.
