Expressions & Equations

• Integer exponents & how to rewrite 
• Square/Cubic Roots (identify which are irrational)
• Scientific Notation to compare numbers
• Perform operations with numbers in scientific notation
• Proportional relationshipsGraphing (starts at the origin & linear)

• • Infinite solutions
• • No solution
• Solve equations with fraction coefficients & distributive property
• Solve/Analyze system of equationsUnderstand (x , y) is point of intersection & solution
• • Identify when systems have one solution, infinite solutions, no solution
• • Solve real world problems with systems

Functions

• Understand each input has exactly one output
• Compare rates of change in a function in a table (even when out of order), rule, graph
• Understand what a linear function is (soda machine example) & give examples of equations that are not linear
• Construct model & understand y=mx+b
• Describe functional relationships between two quantities by analyzing a graphIncreasing, decreasing, linear, nonlinear (scatter plots)

Geometry

• Understand how a shape has been rotated, reflected, translatedCorresponding parts
• • Lines are proportional/equal (similar vs. congruent)
• • Angles have same measure
• • Parallel lines stay parallel
• Understand congruent figures can be obtained through transformations
• Describe effects of dilations, translations, rotations, reflections using coordinates

Statistics & Probability

• Construct & interpret scatter plots for bivariate dataDescribe patterns of association (positive/negative, linear/nonlinear, clustering, outliers)
• • Know when there is a relationship and how to draw a line of best fit/trend line
• • Use/write an equation of a linear model to solve problems

Additional Algebra Standards

• Representations of linear, quadratic, and exponential relationships using graphs, tables, equations, and contexts.
• Symbolic manipulation of expressions in order to solve problems, such as factoring, distributing, multiplying polynomials, expanding exponential expressions, etc.
• Analysis of the slope of a line multiple ways, including graphically, numerically, contextually (as a rate of change), and algebraically.
• Solving equations and inequalities using a variety of strategies, including rewriting (such as factoring, distributing, or completing the square), undoing (such as extracting the square root or subtracting a term from both sides of an equation), and looking inside (such as determining the possible values of the argument of an absolute value expression).
• Solving systems of two equations and inequalities with two variables using a variety of strategies, both graphically and algebraically.
• Representations of arithmetic and geometric sequences, including tables, graphs, and explicit or recursive formulas.
• Use of exponential models to solve problems, and to compare to linear models.

• Use of function notation.
• Statistical analysis of two-variable data, including determining regression lines, correlation coefficients, and creating residual plots.
• The differences between association and causation, and interpretation of correlation in context.
• Comparison of distributions of one-variable data.
