Math I

Math I is a class designed to take all the individual pieces from your middle school math classes and begin to put them into a more workable and effective format. Throughout this course, we will create and use functions to model real-life scenarios, and pull important information from those functions. By the end of this year, you will be able to do all of the following:

Number and Quantity

Quantities

• Reason quantitatively and use units to solve problems.

Algebra

Seeing Structure in Expressions

• Interpret the structure of expressions.

Creating Equations

• Create equations that describe numbers or relationships.

Reasoning with Equations and Inequalities

• Understand solving equations as a process of reasoning and explain the reasoning.

• Solve equations and inequalities in one variable.

• Solve systems of equations.

• Represent and solve equations and inequalities graphically.

Functions

Interpreting Functions

• Understand the concept of a function and use function notation.

• Interpret functions that arise in applications in terms of the context.

• Analyze functions using different representations.

Building Functions

• Build a function that models a relationship between two quantities.

• Build new functions from existing functions.

Linear and Exponential Models

• Construct and compare linear, quadratic, and exponential models and solve problems.

• Interpret expressions for functions in terms of the situation they model.

Statistics and Probability

Interpreting Categorical and Quantitative Data

• Summarize, represent, and interpret data on a single count or measurement variable.

• Summarize, represent, and interpret data on two categorical and quantitative variables.

• Interpret linear models.
