    ALGEBRA I
    (Blueprint adopted by the State Board of Education 10/02)

    Items
    Symbolic reasoning and calculations with symbols are
    central in algebra. Through the study of algebra, a student
    develops an understanding of the symbolic language of
    mathematics and the sciences. In addition, algebraic skills
    and concepts are developed and used in a wide variety of
    problem-solving situations.
    Algebra I 65 100%
    Standard Set 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
    1/2**
    whether assertions are true or false.
    2.0* Students understand and use such operations as
    taking the opposite, finding the reciprocal, taking a root, and
    4
    raising to a fractional power. They understand and use
    the rules of exponents.
    3.0 Students solve equations and inequalities involving
    1
    absolute values.
    4.0* Students simplify expressions prior to solving linear
    equations and inequalities in one variable, such as 3
    3(2x-5) + 4(x-2) = 12.
    5.0* Students solve multistep problems, including word
    problems, involving linear equations and linear
    6
    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
    4
    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 4
    equations 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 1
    perpendicular to a given line that passes through a
    given point.

    * Key standards comprise a minimum of 70% of the test


    ** Fractional values indicate rotated standards (e.g., 1/2 = rotated every two years;
    1/3 = rotated every three years)

    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 5
    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, 4
    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 2
    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 3
    reducing them to the lowest terms.
    13.0* Students add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational
    expressions and functions. Students solve both
    4
    computationally and conceptually challenging
    problems by using these techniques.
    14.0* Students solve a quadratic equation by factoring or
    3
    completing the square.
    15.0* Students apply algebraic techniques to solve rate
    problems, work problems, and percent mixture 4
    problems.
    16.0 Students understand the concepts of a relation and a
    function, determine whether a given relation defines a
    1/2**
    function, and give pertinent information about given
    relations and functions.
    17.0 Students determine the domain of independent
    variables and the range of dependent variables defined 1
    by a graph, a set of ordered pairs, or a symbolic expression.
    18.0 Students determine whether a relation defined by a
    graph, a set of ordered pairs, or a symbolic expression 1/2**
    is a function and justify the conclusion.
    19.0* Students know the quadratic formula and are familiar
    2
    with its proof by completing the square.
    20.0* Students use the quadratic formula to find the roots of
    a second-degree polynomial and to solve quadratic 3
    equations.

    * Key standards comprise a minimum of 70% of the test


    ** Fractional values indicate rotated standards (e.g., 1/2 = rotated every two years;
    1/3 = rotated every three years)

    22.0 Students use the quadratic formula or factoring
    techniques or both to determine whether the graph of a
    1
    quadratic function will intersect the x-axis in zero, one, or
    two points.
    21.0* Students graph quadratic functions and know that their
    3
    roots are the x-intercepts.
    23.0* Students apply quadratic equations to physical
    problems, such as the motion of an object under the force 3
    of gravity.
    Standard Set 24.0 Students use and know simple aspects of
    a logical argument:
    24.1 Students explain the difference between inductive and
    deductive reasoning and identify and provide 1/3**
    examples of each.
    24.2 Students identify the hypothesis and conclusion in
    1/3**
    logical deduction.
    24.3 Students use counterexamples to show that an
    assertion is false and recognize that a single 1/3**
    counterexample is sufficient to refute an assertion.
    Standard Set 25.0 Students use properties of the number
    system to judge the validity of results, to justify each step of
    a procedure, and to prove or disprove statements:
    25.1 Students use properties of numbers to construct
    simple, valid arguments (direct and indirect) for, or 1/2**
    formulate counterexamples to, claimed assertions.
    25.2 Students judge the validity of an argument according
    to whether the properties of the real number system and
    1/2**
    the order of operations have been applied correctly at
    each step.
    25.3 Given a specific algebraic statement involving linear,
    quadratic, or absolute value expressions or equations
    1/2**
    or inequalities, students determine whether the statement
    is true sometimes, always, or never.
