California Mathematics Content Standards
This Algebra I hotlist covers the following California Mathematics Content Standards:
Algebra I - Grades Eight through Twelve
1.0 Students identify and use the
arithmetic properties of subsets of integers and rational, irrational, and real numbers, including closure properties for
the four basic arithmetic operations where applicable:
1.1
Students use properties of numbers to demonstrate whether assertions are true or false.
3.0 Students solve equations and inequalities involving absolute
values.
4.0 Students simplify expressions
before solving linear equations and inequalities in one variable, such as 3(2x-5) + 4(x-2) = 12.
5.0 Students solve multistep problems,
including word problems, involving linear equations and linear inequalities in one variable and provide justification for
each step.
6.0 Students
graph a linear equation and compute the x- and y-
intercepts (e.g., graph 2x + 6y = 4). They are also able to sketch the region defined by linear inequality (e.g., they
sketch the region defined by 2x + 6y < 4).
7.0 Students verify that a point lies on a line, given an equation of the
line. Students are able to derive linear equations by using the point-slope formula.
8.0 Students understand the concepts of parallel lines and perpendicular lines and how those slopes
are related. Students are able to find the equation of a line perpendicular to a given line that passes through a given point.
9.0 Students
solve a system of two linear equations in two variables algebraically and are able to interpret the answer graphically. Students
are able to solve a system of two linear inequalities in two variables and to sketch the solution sets.
10.0 Students add, subtract, multiply,
and divide monomials and polynomials. Students solve multistep problems, including word problems, by using these techniques.
11.0 Students apply basic factoring
techniques to second-and simple third-degree polynomials. These techniques include finding a common factor for all terms in
a polynomial, recognizing the difference of two squares, and recognizing perfect squares of binomials. 12.0 Students simplify fractions
with polynomials in the numerator and denominator by factoring both and reducing them to the lowest terms.
