In Algebra 1, students demonstrate fluency by creating, comparing, analyzing, solving, providing multiple representations, and identifying the structures of exponential & quadratic functions building on the understanding of linear functions from grade 8 to apply linear, quadratic and exponential models to data and unfamiliar problems.

Clarity work is currently in progress at the site level.
The design team will review site & individual work when they come together to update this unit guide. Until that time, utilize the rough learning progressions and success criteria found on the Rigor in Claim 1 grid (slides 11-14) of the PLC Resource Guide to create daily learning intentions. Remember that some success criteria may need to be added to support your students in reaching the criteria taken directly from SBAC Item Specifications.
Please capture any of the work accomplished at the site or individual level in a digital format of some kind for use by the design team in the future. THE DESIGN TEAM DID START PROGRESSION 3, SEE BELOW.
