Represent constraints by equations or inequalities, and by systems of equations and/or inequalities, and interpret solutions as viable or non-viable options in a modeling context.

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.

CC.HSA.REI.B.3

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.

CC.HSA.REI.C.6

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.11

Explain why the x-coordinates of the points where the graphs of the equations y = f(x) and y = g(x) intersect are the solutions of the equation f(x) = g(x); find the solutions approximately, e.g., using technology to graph the functions, make tables of values, or find successive approximations. Include cases where f(x) and/or g(x) are linear, polynomial, rational, absolute value, exponential, and logarithmic functions.

CC.HSA.SSE.B.3

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

CC.HSA.APR.A.1

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.HSN.RN.A.1

Explain how the definition of the meaning of rational exponents follows from extending the properties of integer exponents to those values, allowing for a notation for radicals in terms of rational exponents.

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).

CC.HSF.IF.A.2

Use function notation, evaluate functions for inputs in their domains, and interpret statements that use function notation in terms of a context.

CC.HSF.IF.B.5

Relate the domain of a function to its graph and, where applicable, to the quantitative relationship it describes.

CC.HSF.IF.B.6

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).

CC.HSF.BF.A.2

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.HSA.REI.C.7

Solve a simple system consisting of a linear equation and a quadratic equation in two variables algebraically and graphically.

CC.HSS.ID.A.1

Represent data with plots on the real number line (dot plots, histograms, and box plots).

CC.HSS.ID.A.2

Use statistics appropriate to the shape of the data distribution to compare center (median, mean) and spread (interquartile range, standard deviation) of two or more different data sets.

CC.HSS.ID.A.3

Interpret differences in shape, center, and spread in the context of the data sets, accounting for possible effects of extreme data points (outliers).

CC.HSS.ID.B.6

Represent data on two quantitative variables on a scatter plot, and describe how the variables are related.

CC.HSS.ID.C.7

Interpret the slope (rate of change) and the intercept (constant term) of a linear model in the context of the data.

Oregon Algebra 1: What Students Learn

Oregon Algebra 1 is the gateway to all higher-level math. Aligned to Oregon Mathematics Standards, this course builds the skills students need for Geometry, Algebra 2, and beyond. StudyPug covers every standard with clear video lessons and practice problems.

Equations and Inequalities

Students start by creating and solving equations and inequalities in one variable, including those arising from linear, quadratic, rational, and exponential contexts. They learn to rearrange formulas, justify each step in solving an equation, and solve linear equations with letter coefficients. StudyPug's video lessons walk through each type of equation step by step.

  • Create equations in one and two or more variables
  • Solve linear equations and inequalities, including with letter coefficients
  • Represent constraints using systems of equations and inequalities
  • Rearrange formulas to isolate a quantity of interest

Systems of Equations

Oregon Algebra 1 students learn to solve systems of two linear equations both exactly and approximately — using substitution, elimination, and graphing. They also explore why replacing one equation with a sum of equations preserves the solution set.

  • Solve systems of linear equations graphically and algebraically
  • Graph solution sets of linear inequalities as half-planes
  • Solve systems involving one linear and one quadratic equation

Expressions and Polynomials

Students learn to interpret, rewrite, and manipulate algebraic expressions. They work with polynomials — adding, subtracting, and multiplying them — and explore rational exponents and radical expressions.

  • Interpret and rewrite expressions in equivalent forms
  • Add, subtract, and multiply polynomials
  • Identify zeros of polynomials and use them to sketch graphs
  • Rewrite radical expressions using rational exponent notation

Functions

A major focus of Algebra 1 is understanding what a function is and how to work with functions. Students use function notation, interpret graphs and tables, calculate average rates of change, and compare functions represented in different ways.

  • Understand domain, range, and function notation
  • Interpret key features of graphs and tables
  • Calculate and interpret average rate of change
  • Graph functions and identify key features by hand and with technology
  • Write functions that describe relationships between quantities
  • Identify effects of transformations: f(x) + k, kf(x), f(kx), f(x + k)

Linear and Exponential Models

Students compare linear and exponential growth, construct models from graphs and tables, and interpret parameters in context. They also work with arithmetic and geometric sequences in both recursive and explicit forms.

  • Distinguish linear from exponential growth situations
  • Construct linear and exponential functions from graphs, tables, and descriptions
  • Interpret slope, intercept, and exponential parameters in real contexts
  • Observe that exponential growth eventually exceeds polynomial growth

Quadratic Equations

Students solve quadratic equations in one variable using multiple methods, including factoring, completing the square, and the quadratic formula. They also solve systems with one linear and one quadratic equation.

Statistics and Data Analysis

Algebra 1 closes with a statistics unit where students represent data using dot plots, histograms, and box plots. They compare distributions, interpret scatter plots, fit linear models, and learn to distinguish correlation from causation.

  • Represent and compare data distributions using appropriate statistics
  • Interpret outliers and their effects on center and spread
  • Fit linear models to scatter plots and interpret slope and intercept
  • Compute and interpret the correlation coefficient using technology
  • Distinguish between correlation and causation
