Preface
This curriculum map is aligned to the Common Core State Standards, as defined in 2016. The timeline presented for each unit is meant to aid in estimating and
defining the relative pacing and sequencing of the course. It is not imperative that it be followed with fidelity. For instance, Unit 8 Solving Quadratic Equations,
may be taught at an introductory level, with further development in Algebra 2. The following is the breakdown, by term, of the units in Algebra 1:

The class will begin with a review of algebra expressions, along with two units of review combined into one: Units A & B Graphing and Solving Linear Equations.
The pacing of this review should be relatively brisk since the majority of the concepts may be traced back to upper elementary/middle school standards.

CCSS.Math.Practice.MP5 Use appropriate tools strategically. Mathematically proficient students consider the available tools when solving a mathematical
problem. These tools might include pencil and paper, concrete models, a ruler, a protractor, a calculator, a spreadsheet, a computer algebra system, a
statistical package, or dynamic geometry software. Proficient students are sufficiently familiar with tools appropriate for their grade or course to make
sound decisions about when each of these tools might be helpful, recognizing both the insight to be gained and their limitations. For example, mathematically
proficient high school students analyze graphs of functions and solutions generated using a graphing calculator. They detect possible errors by strategically
using estimation and other mathematical knowledge. When making mathematical models, they know that technology can enable them to visualize the results
of varying assumptions, explore consequences, and compare predictions with data. Mathematically proficient students at various grade levels are able to
identify relevant external mathematical resources, such as digital content located on a website, and use them to pose or solve problems. They are able to
use technological tools to explore and deepen their understanding of concepts.
CCSS.Math.Practice.MP6 Attend to precision. Mathematically proficient students try to communicate precisely to others. They try to use clear definitions
in discussion with others and in their own reasoning. They state the meaning of the symbols they choose, including using the equal sign consistently and
appropriately. They are careful about specifying units of measure, and labeling axes to clarify the correspondence with quantities in a problem. They
calculate accurately and efficiently, express numerical answers with a degree of precision appropriate for the problem context. In the elementary grades,
students give carefully formulated explanations to each other. By the time they reach high school they have learned to examine claims and make explicit
use of definitions.
CCSS.Math.Practice.MP7 Look for and make use of structure. Mathematically proficient students look closely to discern a pattern or structure. Young
students, for example, might notice that three and seven more is the same amount as seven and three more, or they may sort a collection of shapes according
to how many sides the shapes have. Later, students will see 7 8 equals the well-remembered 7 5 + 7 3, in preparation for learning about the distributive
property. In the expression x2 + 9x + 14, older students can see the 14 as 2 7 and the 9 as 2 + 7. They recognize the significance of an existing line in a
geometric figure and can use the strategy of drawing an auxiliary line for solving problems. They also can step back for an overview and shift perspective.
They can see complicated things, such as some algebraic expressions, as single objects or as being composed of several objects. For example, they can see
5 3(x y)2 as 5 minus a positive number times a square and use that to realize that its value cannot be more than 5 for any real numbers x and y.
CCSS.Math.Practice.MP8 Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. Mathematically proficient students notice if calculations are repeated, and
look both for general methods and for shortcuts. Upper elementary students might notice when dividing 25 by 11 that they are repeating the same calculations
over and over again, and conclude they have a repeating decimal. By paying attention to the calculation of slope as they repeatedly check whether points
are on the line through (1, 2) with slope 3, middle school students might abstract the equation (y 2)/(x 1) = 3. Noticing the regularity in the way terms
cancel when expanding (x 1)(x + 1), (x 1)(x2 + x + 1), and (x 1)(x3 + x2 + x + 1) might lead them to the general formula for the sum of a geometric series.
As they work to solve a problem, mathematically proficient students maintain oversight of the process, while attending to the details. They continually
evaluate the reasonableness of their intermediate results.
