QCC Algebra 1

#5 Topic: Connections, Patterns, and Functions

Standard: Connects patterns to the concept of function and uses patterns,

relations, and functions to solve problems.

#18 Topic: Linear Equations in two Variables, Data Analysis, Patterns, and Functions.

Standard: Interprets and makes predictions from data displayed in line graphs
or scattered plots, by examining patterns and recognizing algebraic concepts such
as rate of change(slope), intercepts, range, and domain.

***There were so many standards that they could not be taught in a reasonable
time.

***The QCCs lacked depth.

***It took some of us a while to decide to combine related standards instead of

teaching in numerical order.

GSE Coordinate Algebra

MGSE9-12.F.LE.2 Construct linear and exponential functions, including arithmetic
and geometric sequences, given a graph, a description of a relationship, or two
input-output pairs (include reading these from a table).

-Students are learning about exponential functions in the 9 th grade.

-Students are taught many representations of a function at the same time. (tables,
graphs, equations, and patterns/sequences)---abstract and visual

***The GSE presents the visual, abstract and application of learning mathematics in
one standard.

***The Science and Social Studies GSE will be implemented in the 2017-18 school
year.
