This is the first mathematics course leading to a Regents diploma. To prepare for the Regents exam, this course covers the major common core learning standards for Algebra I. Units of study include Relationships between Quantities, Linear and Exponential Relationships, Descriptive Statistics, Expressions and Equations, and Quadratic Functions and Modeling.
Quarter 1
I can analyze univariate data by creating and comparing data displays (dot plots, box plots and histograms). (AI-S.ID.A)
I can analyze bivariate data using the linear regression equation and correlation coefficient. (AI-S.ID.B)
Quarter 2
I can solve linear equations and inequalities in one variable.
(A-AI.REI.3)
I can solve a system of linear equations in two variables both algebraically and graphically. (AI-A.REI.6a)
I can graph the solutions to a linear inequality in one variable on the coordinate plane.
(AI-A.REI.12)
I can determine the solution region for a system of linear inequalities on the coordinate plane.
(AI-A.REI.12)
I can explain what it means for a relation to be a function. (AI-F.IF.1)
I can apply function notation to a given context and evaluate functions using function notation. (AI-F.IF.2)
I can identify key features of a graph of a function. (AI-F.IF.4)
Quarter 3
I can graph functions and identify key features of the graph. (A-F.IF.7)
I can write linear, exponential and quadratic functions to describe a relationship between two quantities. (A-F.BF.1)
I can identify when a model represents a linear, exponential or quadratic relationship. (A-F.LE.1)
I can compare properties of functions given different representations. (A-F.IF.9)

I can interpret expressions that represent a quantity in terms of its context. (A.SSE.1)
I can represent constraints with equations or inequalities. (CED.3)
I can solve quadratic equations in one variable. (AI-A.REI.4)
