Algebra 1 Concepts and Skills


	Algebra 1 Concepts and Skills Are you confused about what is taught in an Algebra 1 curriculum? This page will give you an idea of the Algebra 1 concepts and skills that are taught and the order in which they are presented. This is the order in which I like to teach the units; however, not all curriculum is set up exactly the same. So, please use this as a guide, but remember that there are many different Algebra 1 textbooks and curricula and each is set up a little different. Algebra 1 Introductory Unit: Review of Essential Pre-Algebra Skills Integers and Absolute Value Order of Operations Distributive Property Evaluating Algebraic Expressions Simplifying Algebraic Expressions Unit 1: Solving Equations Solving One-Step Equations Solving Two-Step Equations Solving Equations with the Distributive Property Solving Equations with Fractions Solving Literal Equations Solving Equations With Variables on Both Sides Making Connections with Real World Problems (Word Problems) Unit 2: Graphing Equations Graphing Using a Table of Values Calculating Slope Graphing Slope Using Slope Intercept Form Rate of Change (Includes a lot of word problems) Standard Form Equations and X and Y Intercepts (Includes a lot of word problems) Unit 3: Writing Equations Writing Equations in Slope Intercept Form Writing Equations in Standard Form Writing Equations Given Slope and a Point (Includes word problems) Writing Equations Given Two Points (Includes word problems) Unit 4: Systems of Equations Graphing Systems of Equations Substitution Method Linear Combinations Method (Addition Method) Making Connections with Real World Problems (Word Problems) Unit 5: Inequalities Inequalities in One Variable (Including Word Problems) Graphing Linear Inequalities Systems of Inequalities Making Connections with Real World Problems (Word Problems) Unit 6:Relations and Functions Introduction to Relations and Functions Identifying Functions (Vertical Line Test) Evaluating Functions Linear Functions Quadratic Functions Step and Discontinuous Functions Unit 7:Exponents and Monomials Review of Exponents Laws of Exponents Multiplying and Dividing Monomials Working with Negative and Zero Exponents Scientific Notation Unit 8: Quadratic Equations Square Roots Solving Simple Quadratic Equations Using the Pythagorean Theorem Making Connections with Real World Problems (Word Problems) Unit 9: Introduction to Polynomials Adding and Subtracting Polynomials Multiplying Polynomials Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring Making Connections with Real World Problems (Word Problems) I teach two other supplemental units as well during the year. One is on Statistics and the other is Probability. I stick these units in when either the students need a "break" or when I don't have enough time to complete a full Unit (i.e. before Winter or Spring Break). These units are necessary because they are heavily tested on state and standardized tests! Supplemental Unit: Statistics Measures of Central Tendancy (Mean, Median, and Mode) Stem and Leaf Plots Box and Whisker Plots Time Lines, Circle Graphs Supplemental Unit: Probability Expected Value Independent and Dependent Events Simulations Geometric Probablility Hopefully this gives you an indication of the different Algebra 1 concepts and skills that are typically taught! Just remember, the sequence of units can vary among different textbooks!
