The fundamental purpose of this course is to formalize and extend the mathematics that students learned in the middle grades. Because it is built on the middle grades standards, this is a more ambitious version of Algebra I than has generally been offered. The curriculum will deepen and extend understanding of linear and exponential relationships by contrasting them with each other and by applying linear models to data that exhibit a linear trend, and students engage in methods for analyzing, solving, and using quadratic functions. The 8 mathematical practice standards apply throughout each course and, together with the content standards, prescribe that students experience mathematics as a coherent, useful, and logical subject that makes use of their ability to make sense of problem situations. All students will take the Algebra 1 regents exam in June. Successful passing of the New York State Algebra 1 regents in June satisfies part of the minimum math requirement for graduation.

REGENTS INFORMATION
REGENTS INFORMATION
This class ends in a Regents Exam which is required for graduation. The exam will be in June 2026.
The Regents Examination in Algebra 1 (Common Core) has a total of 35 questions:
Here's a breakdown:
Part I: 24 multiple-choice questions, 2 points each (48 total).
Part II: 6 constructed-response questions, 2 points each (12 total).
Part III: 4 constructed-response questions, 4 points each (16 total).
Part IV: 1 constructed-response question, 6 points
The exam has a raw score of 82 points, where the passing raw score can range between 26 and 33 points. It depends on the conversion chart from year-to-year. This raw score is then converted to a final score graded out of 100 possible points, where a 65 is standard passing score and any grade 85 or above is mastery.
