CC.HSA.SSE.A.1

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

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.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.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.

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

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

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.

West Virginia Math I: What Students Learn

Math I is the first high school math course for West Virginia students following the WV College Career Ready Standards Math. It covers a wide range of topics across algebra, functions, geometry, and statistics — all designed to build the skills students need for Math II and beyond.

Algebra and Equations

Students start by working with expressions and equations. They learn to interpret and rewrite expressions, create equations and inequalities in one or two variables, and solve linear equations and systems of equations. Key skills include rearranging formulas, solving equations with letter coefficients, and graphing solution sets for linear inequalities.

  • Interpret and rewrite algebraic expressions
  • Create and solve equations and inequalities in one variable
  • Solve systems of linear equations graphically and algebraically
  • Graph linear inequalities and systems of inequalities

Functions

Math I introduces formal function concepts. Students learn function notation, domain and range, and how to interpret graphs and tables. They compare linear and exponential functions, build new functions from relationships, and work with arithmetic and geometric sequences.

  • Understand function notation and evaluate functions
  • Interpret key features of graphs including intercepts and rate of change
  • Write and compare linear and exponential functions
  • Model situations using arithmetic and geometric sequences
  • Identify the effect of transformations on function graphs

Geometry and Transformations

Students explore precise geometric definitions and the properties of transformations in the plane. They learn about rotations, reflections, and translations, and use these to define congruence. Students also prove theorems about lines, triangles, and parallelograms and use coordinates to solve geometric problems.

  • Describe and perform rotations, reflections, and translations
  • Use rigid motions to define and test congruence
  • Prove theorems about lines, angles, triangles, and parallelograms
  • Use coordinate geometry to find distances, slopes, and areas
  • Construct geometric figures using standard tools

Statistics and Data Analysis

Math I also covers data representation and interpretation. Students compare data sets using measures of center and spread, analyze scatter plots, interpret linear models, and distinguish between correlation and causation.

  • Represent data with dot plots, histograms, and box plots
  • Compare data sets using mean, median, IQR, and standard deviation
  • Analyze scatter plots and interpret slope and intercept of a linear model
  • Compute and interpret the correlation coefficient
  • Summarize categorical data using two-way frequency tables
