Algebra I

The Idaho State Achievement Standards for Mathematics lists learning goals for students in grades 9-12.

top  

Algebraic Concepts

The Algebraic Concepts Unit includes Competencies/Objectives which focus on algebraic equations and operations. This unit includes studying number systems, operations, and forms. Students explore the symbolic nature of algebraic concepts by identifying and extending patterns in algebra, by following algebraic procedures, and by proving theorems with properties.

top  

Functions

The Functions Unit includes exploring polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric, and circular functions.

top  

Geometry

The Geometry Unit includes Competencies/Objectives which focus on exploring geometric concepts from multiple perspectives. The Geometry Unit includes properties and construction of figures, proofs and theorems, history of geometry, transformations, logic, and problem solving.

top  

Mathematics Processes

The Mathematics Processes Unit focuses on mathematical connections, communication, modeling, concepts and procedures.

top  

Number Theory

The Number Theory Unit focuses on manipulating number forms and classifications. Students make connections between number forms and their real-world applications.

top  

Numeration

The Numeration Unit focuses on exploring ordinality, identifying and extending number patterns, comparing numbers, and demonstrating number relationships.

top  

Percents

The Percent Unit focuses on the concept of percent. This unit includes performing operations with percents, converting percents to other number forms, using manipulatives to demonstrate percents, and solving problems with percents in real-world contexts.

top  

Problem Solving

The Problem Solving Unit focuses on the problem solving effort. This unit includes analyzing problems, evaluating solutions, problem exploration, and strategies.

top  

Real Numbers and the Coordinate Plane

The Real Numbers and the Coordinate Plane Unit includes graphing equations, and making connections between algebraic concepts and their geometric correspondences.

top  

Calculus and Pre-Calculus

The Calculus and Pre-Calculus Unit includes studying the following concepts: limits, matrix algebra, functions, vectors, conic sections, mathematical induction, and sequence and series using graphical calculators, computers, and models.
