Description: Algebra I is a course designed to develop the algebraic concepts and processes that can be used to solve a variety of real-world and mathematical problems. The content shall include, but not be limited to, perform set operations, use fundamental concepts of logic including Venn diagrams, describe the concept of a function, use function notation, solve real-world problems involving relations and functions, determine the domain and range of relations and functions, simplify algebraic expressions, solve linear and literal equations, solve and graph simple and compound inequalities, solve linear equations and inequalities in real-world situations, rewrite equations of a line into slope-intercept form and standard form, graph a line given any variation of information, determine the slope, x- and y-intercepts of a line given its graph, its equation or two points on the line, write an equation of a line given any variation of information, determine a line of best fit and recognize the slope as the rate of change, factor polynomial expressions, perform operations with polynomials, simplify and solve algebraic ratios and proportions, simplify and perform operations with radical expressions, graph systems of linear equations and inequalities in two and three variables and quadratic functions, and use varied solution strategies for quadratic equations and for systems of linear equations and inequalities in two and three variables.
