StudyPug Topic

CC.HSA.SSE.A.1

Interpret expressions that represent a quantity in terms of its context.

Choose and produce an equivalent form of an expression to reveal and explain properties of the quantity represented by the expression.

CC.HSA.CED.A.2

Create equations in two or more variables to represent relationships between quantities; graph equations on coordinate axes with labels and scales.

CC.HSA.CED.A.4

Rearrange formulas to highlight a quantity of interest, using the same reasoning as in solving equations.

CC.HSA.REI.A.1

Explain each step in solving a simple equation as following from the equality of numbers asserted at the previous step, starting from the assumption that the original equation has a solution. Construct a viable argument to justify a solution method.

Solve linear equations and inequalities in one variable, including equations with coefficients represented by letters.

CC.HSA.REI.C.5

Prove that, given a system of two equations in two variables, replacing one equation by the sum of that equation and a multiple of the other produces a system with the same solutions.

Solve systems of linear equations exactly and approximately (e.g., with graphs), focusing on pairs of linear equations in two variables.

CC.HSA.REI.D.10

Understand that the graph of an equation in two variables is the set of all its solutions plotted in the coordinate plane, often forming a curve (which could be a line).

CC.HSA.REI.D.12

Understand that polynomials form a system analogous to the integers, namely, they are closed under the operations of addition, subtraction, and multiplication; add, subtract, and multiply polynomials.

CC.HSA.APR.B.3

Identify zeros of polynomials when suitable factorizations are available, and use the zeros to construct a rough graph of the function defined by the polynomial.

CC.HSF.IF.A.1

Understand that a function from one set (called the domain) to another set (called the range) assigns to each element of the domain exactly one element of the range. If f is a function and x is an element of its domain, then f(x) denotes the output of f corresponding to the input x. The graph of f is the graph of the equation y = f(x).

Calculate and interpret the average rate of change of a function (presented symbolically or as a table) over a specified interval. Estimate the rate of change from a graph.

CC.HSF.IF.C.9

Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions).

Write arithmetic and geometric sequences both recursively and with an explicit formula, use them to model situations, and translate between the two forms.

CC.HSF.BF.B.3

Identify the effect on the graph of replacing f(x) by f(x) + k, k f(x), f(kx), and f(x + k) for specific values of k (both positive and negative); find the value of k given the graphs. Experiment with cases and illustrate an explanation of the effects on the graph using technology.

Distinguish between situations that can be modeled with linear functions and with exponential functions.

CC.HSF.LE.A.2

Construct linear and exponential functions, including arithmetic and geometric sequences, given a graph, a description of a relationship, or two input-output pairs (include reading these from a table).

CC.HSF.LE.A.3

Observe using graphs and tables that a quantity increasing exponentially eventually exceeds a quantity increasing linearly, quadratically, or (more generally) as a polynomial function.

CC.HSG.CO.A.1

Know precise definitions of angle, circle, perpendicular line, parallel line, and line segment, based on the undefined notions of point, line, distance along a line, and distance around a circular arc.

CC.HSG.CO.A.2

Represent transformations in the plane using, e.g., transparencies and geometry software; describe transformations as functions that take points in the plane as inputs and give other points as outputs. Compare transformations that preserve distance and angle to those that do not.

CC.HSG.CO.A.3

Given a rectangle, parallelogram, trapezoid, or regular polygon, describe the rotations and reflections that carry it onto itself.

CC.HSG.CO.B.6

Use geometric descriptions of rigid motions to transform figures and to predict the effect of a given rigid motion on a given figure; given two figures, use the definition of congruence in terms of rigid motions to decide if they are congruent.

CC.HSG.CO.B.7

Use the definition of congruence in terms of rigid motions to show that two triangles are congruent if and only if corresponding pairs of sides and corresponding pairs of angles are congruent.

Montana Mathematics I: What Students Learn

Montana Mathematics I is the first high school math course, building algebraic, functional, geometric, and statistical reasoning skills. Content aligns to Montana Math Content Standards and prepares students for Mathematics II and beyond.

Algebra and Expressions

Students learn to interpret and rewrite algebraic expressions, create equations and inequalities in one or two variables, and rearrange formulas. Key skills include solving linear equations, solving systems of two equations, and understanding how each step in solving an equation follows logically from the previous one.

  • Writing and solving linear equations and inequalities
  • Creating equations in two variables and graphing them
  • Solving systems of linear equations graphically and algebraically
  • Graphing linear inequalities and systems of inequalities in two variables

Functions

Mathematics I introduces the formal definition of a function, function notation, and key features of graphs. Students compare linear and exponential functions, work with arithmetic and geometric sequences, and explore transformations of functions.

  • Understanding domain, range, and function notation
  • Interpreting key features of graphs and tables
  • Calculating and interpreting average rate of change
  • Writing functions to describe relationships between two quantities
  • Distinguishing linear from exponential growth
  • Constructing linear and exponential functions from tables, graphs, and descriptions

Geometry and Transformations

Students explore rigid motions — rotations, reflections, and translations — and use them to define congruence. Coordinate geometry connects algebra to geometry through slope criteria, distance, and area calculations.

  • Representing and describing transformations in the coordinate plane
  • Using rigid motions to determine congruence of figures
  • Proving triangle congruence using ASA, SAS, and SSS criteria
  • Proving theorems about lines, angles, triangles, and parallelograms
  • Using coordinates to compute perimeters and areas
  • Proving slope criteria for parallel and perpendicular lines

Statistics and Data Analysis

Students represent and interpret data using dot plots, histograms, box plots, and scatter plots. They compare data sets, identify linear trends, and understand the difference between correlation and causation.

  • Comparing center and spread of data sets
  • Interpreting two-way frequency tables
  • Analyzing scatter plots and linear models
  • Interpreting slope and intercept of a linear fit in context
  • Computing and interpreting the correlation coefficient
