Algebra I

Prerequisite Material

Before taking an Algebra I course, students should understand and be able to apply basic
properties of real numbers (i.e. commutative, associative, distributive properties…), be
able to add, subtract, multiply, and divide integers, fractions, and decimals, convert from
one form of a number to another, understand and apply the order of operations rules,
understand and simplify numerical exponential expressions, have a working
understanding of percents, understand the concepts of variables, expressions, and
equations, solve simple linear equations in one variable, and use ratios and proportions to
solve problems.

b. Distributions and their shapes
c. Measures of center (mean, median, and mode)
d. Measures of spread (range, interquartile range, variance, standard
deviation)
e. Outliers
f. Samples and populations

Other Considerations

• There should be an emphasis on the understanding of the underlying concepts.

• Communication, both oral and written, should be emphasized throughout the
course. Written solutions to problems should be expected and evaluated.

• Students should be allowed to use calculators and computers where appropriate.*

• Classroom activities should be student-centered and involve active/experiential
learning.*

• There should be an emphasis on problem-solving, estimation, and real-world
applications.*

• Alternative assessment should be incorporated into student evaluation.*

• At the end of each semester, a summary of the mathematics covered should occur
in which the relationships among concepts are emphasized. Semester exams are
required of all students.
