Block Schedule Options

Note: With block schedules, generally follow the suggested sequence of lessons. Asterisked lessons are approximately 90-minutes in length. Non-asterisked lessons (approximately 45-minutes in length) may be combined, but consider combining them meaningfully, instead of simply teaching two-lessons back-to-back. When single non-asterisked lessons precede or follow an asterisked one, consider using Concept Bytes, Mathematical Modeling, or Common Core Performance Tasks to start or complete the lesson (using 45 available minutes to construct a full 90-minute lesson).

Find percent change and the relative error in linear and nonlinear measurements.

Focus: Chapter 2 concentrates on three essential questions: Can equations that appear different be equivalent? How can you solve equations and make sense of their solutions? What kinds of relationships are represented by proportions?

Coherence: Note that Chapter 1 covers content largely addressed in 8th Grade. While many of these lessons help prepare students for what comes later, there are several lessons that directly support work on Algebra I Eligible Content, specifically:

Chapter 1-1 Chapter 1-7

Chapter 1-2 Chapter 1-8

Concept Byte: Operations with Chapter 1-9

Rational and Irrational Numbers

Review material from Chapter 1, as you feel necessary and being mindful of the suggested pacing with flex days, but note that not all of this content appears on the Algebra I Keystone Exam.

Rigor: The key idea in Chapter 2 involves understanding equality and how to preserve it. Rigor is elevated, when students have opportunities to make sense of and solve problems involving equality, using their own intuition and explaining their ideas. Concentrate on encouraging students to use models to represent their thinking throughout this chapter and beyond. Consider using Mathematical Modeling in Three Acts (found on Pearson Realize), algebra tiles (available, free and virtually at http://nlvm.usu.edu/), or SolveMe Puzzles (http://solveme.edc.org/).

Consider beginning the year by laying foundations for problem-solving via: WODB.ca, Estimation180.com, SolveMe. Also consider using flex days, on occasion, to complete or present the Common Core Performance Tasks or Mathematical Modeling in Three Acts (found on Pearson Realize), which support increased rigor. Review foundational knowledge and check for understanding, as needed, through “Do Nows” or “Bell Ringers,” homework, and teacher-created assessments.

Content

Focus: In Chapter 3, students address these questions: How do you represent relationships between quantities that are not equal? Can inequalities that appear different be equivalent? How can you solve inequalities and make sense of their solutions?

Coherence: Chapter 3 extends ideas from Chapter 2, investigating inequality. Students will draw on their previous understanding of inequality, as they learned about making comparisons and representing inequalities with symbols throughout elementary and middle school. Chapters 3-5 and 3-8 may support students in making sense of inequalities, and investigations of real numbers in Algebra II, but they contain content that goes beyond the eligible content for the Algebra I Keystone Exam. Through sets, a foundation for classifying geometric objects is also established.

Rigor: Throughout this Chapter, students should be encouraged to make sense of algebraic inequalities by substituting the variable with specific values and determining whether the result is true or false. Students can also model their thinking, as with equations.

Benchmark Cycle 2 Scope and Sequence

Focus: In Chapter 4, students investigate modeling and functions. Students develop an understanding of the relationship between function notation, graphs, tables, and verbal expressions. They address: How can you represent and describe functions? How do functions describe real-world-situations? Consider reviewing, as needed, two topics from Grade 8 before beginning this chapter: “define, evaluate, and compare functions” (CC.2.2.8.C.1); and “use concepts of functions to model relationships between quantities” (CC.2.2.8.C.2).

Coherence: Ideas underlying the essential questions, above, permeate algebra and higher mathematics. Therefore, as a foundation for studying linear functions, systems of linear equations and inequalities, analyzing bivariate data, and so on, this chapter is crucial. Note, though, that it covers only Module 2 content. (Efforts were made to keep as much of Module 1 and Module 2 content together, respectively, as was practical.)

Rigor: Offering students opportunities to make sense of patterns, to grapple with rich problems, to observe connections between mathematics and real-world situations, and to facilitate their use of formal notation all address rigor throughout this chapter.

Focus: Students deepen their understanding of Chapter 4 by looking at one family of related functions: linear functions. They investigate these questions: What information does the equation of a line give you? What does the slope of a line indicate about the line? Before starting Chapter 5, consider strategically reviewing material from Chapter 1 (foundations), as well as topics from Grades 7 and/or 8: “model and solve real-world and mathematical problems by using and connection numerical, algebraic, and/or graphical representations” (7.CC.2.2.7.B.3); and “analyze and solve linear equations and pairs of simultaneous linear equations” (8.CC.2.2.8.B.3)

Coherence: Note that this chapter covers Module 2 content. To keep much of Module 1 content together and Module 2 content together, to assist in reviewing for the Keystone Exam, the essential pieces of Chapter 5 are covered here. The Concept Byte after Chapter 5-5 is included, to lay a foundation for roots and radicals and for supporting Geometry and Algebra II content (include as time permits). Chapter 5-6 is an important precursor to understanding and solving systems of linear equations and inequalities (Chapter 6). Chapter 5 concludes, later in the year, with scatterplots (Module 2) and absolute value functions (which goes beyond the eligible content on the Algebra I Keystone Exam).

Rigor: This material should be considered more than techniques to master and instead part of a broader theme—making sense of phenomena that grow or diminish at constant rates. How do we know whether temperatures are changing, wealth is becoming concentrated, or even whether trains will arrive on time? Problem-solving and the tools of algebra, analyzing linearity, help us defend our thinking.

Concept Byte

Graphing Linear Inequalities Use a graphing calculator to graph linear inequalities.

Focus: In Chapter 6, students explore systems of linear equations and inequalities, raising such questions as: How can you solve a system of equations or inequalities and make sense of their solutions? How do systems of equations and inequalities model real-world situations? The Concept Byte following Chapter 6-3 may be omitted, but it might engage students interested in the representations behind computer graphics.

Coherence: The core ideas of Chapter 5 (containing Module 2 content) establish a foundation for Chapter 6 (linear systems), Chapter 7 (exponents), and Chapter 8 (polynomials, including quadratic expressions)—all of which address Module 1 content. Some books proceed from linear functions into quadratics, but many states, like PA, do not expect Algebra I students to study quadratic functions. Therefore, this sequence of chapters focuses on composing and decomposing several linear expressions before turning to quadratics.

Rigor: Opportunities to translate among the representations of linear functions, and to solve applied problems involving linear systems, support these Assessment Anchors and promote rigor. As always, students should have regular opportunities to explain their thinking (SMP3).

7-5 Rational Exponents and Radicals Rewrite expressions involving radicals and rational exponents. A1.1.1.1.2, A1.1.1.3.1

Focus: In Chapter 7, students investigate these essential questions: How can you represent very large and very small numbers? How can you simplify expressions involving exponents? In Chapter 7-5, focus on square roots and perfect cube roots to address the Assessment Anchors.

Coherence: Chapter 7 plays a crucial role in transitioning from studying linear functions and expressions to studying polynomials. Building on students understanding of exponents and inverse functions (Chapter 5), students will compose and decompose linear expressions in performing operations with and factoring polynomial expressions. The last three sections of Chapter 7 go beyond the eligible content for Algebra I. Some textbooks choose to explore properties of exponents (Chapters 7-2 to 7-4) before justifying results about zero and negative exponents (Chapter 7-1). Both approaches are valid, and so the order can be switched, provided care is taken with selecting practice and homework problems.

Rigor: This topic is traditionally presented as a set of rules to memorize. To foster deeper understanding, students should draw on their problem-solving and reasoning abilities, including exploring with calculators and whole numbers, to conjecture and justify these rules themselves.

8-8* Factoring by Grouping Factor higher-degree polynomials by grouping.

Focus: Chapter 8 addresses these essential questions: Can two algebraic expressions that appear different be equivalent? How are the properties of real numbers related to polynomials? In Chapter 8-8, concentrate on factoring trinomials where a = 1 after factoring out all monomials.

Coherence: Chapter 8 ties together storylines from three previous chapters: linear functions in Chapters 5 and 6, and exponents in Chapter 7. In this chapter, students combine linear expressions to make quadratic expressions, just as they combined prime numbers to make composite numbers in elementary school. Likewise, students connect their understanding of factoring whole numbers with factoring quadratics. Students briefly cover quadratics, to motivate the study of roots and radicals, before returning to polynomials via rational expressions.

Rigor: Students may reason incorrectly about algebraic expressions, relying on their understanding of numbers. To promote depth of understanding, ask students to investigate their conjectures about polynomials by substituting a value for the variable and seeing whether their approach yields a true or false result.

Focus: Chapter 9 lays a foundation for understanding quadratic functions, concentrating on their graphs and properties.

Coherence: Students are already familiar with square roots from Grade 8, and Chapter 9-3 refreshes these ideas before transitioning to simplifying radical expressions in Chapter 10. Quadratics, as a non-linear family of functions, will also be featured prominently in Algebra II. While the content in Chapter 9 goes beyond the eligible content for the Algebra I Keystone Exam, this material may help with understanding polynomials in Chapter 8 and motivating the study of roots and radicals in Chapter 10. Therefore, spending a little time on this material may well be worth it, but you may return to these sections later if pressed for time.

Rigor: Using technology, to engage students in an investigation of quadratic functions and the influence of various coefficients, is a way to deepen students’ understanding of non-linearity. Translating among representations also builds a connected understanding of functions, as well.

Beyond Eligible Content

Focus: Chapter 10 addresses these essential questions: How are radical expressions represented? Can two radical expressions be equivalent, if they appear different? Note that Chapter 10-1 covers material from Grade 8. Consider reviewing this section, briefly, it may also be omitted—provided that students have a strong understanding of the Pythagorean Theorem. In Chapter 10-2, students do not need to rationalize denominators, which is material that goes beyond the eligible content. Likewise, Chapter 10-4 goes beyond the eligible content for the Algebra I Keystone Exam, but it could be included as an extension if time permits.

Coherence: Having solved basic quadratic equations in Chapter 9-3, students should see the importance of techniques for simplifying radical expressions. This is because there are many equivalent ways of writing such expressions and so simplifying helps with agreement. The latter part of Chapter 10 goes beyond the eligible content for the Keystone Exam, but this content helps with understanding function families and therefore it may support students’ later understanding of concepts in Algebra II.

Rigor: Chapter 10 includes a number of application problems, as well as problems that require attending to precision (SMP6). Support students in developing strategies for checking the reasonableness of their answers and making sense of word problems.

Normal Distribution Use normal distributions to estimate population percentages, and determine whether it is appropriate to model a data set with a normal distribution.

Beyond Eligible Content

Focus: In Chapter 12, students investigate these questions: How can collecting and analyzing data help you make decisions or predictions? How can you make and interpret different representations of data? How is probability related to real-world events? Note that several sections of this chapter go beyond the eligible content on the Keystone Exam, but that some of this material may be motivating to students and may help tie the chapter together. Consider including this material, as time permits. Consider previewing this content, especially 12-7, by refreshing students’ memory on 7.M07.D-S.3: “investigate chance processes and develop, use, and evaluate probability models.”

Coherence: Students should be familiar with many of the ideas underlying this chapter, because data analysis and probability are important threads throughout K-12 mathematics. Chapter 12 deepens students understanding by formalizing statistical approaches and counting methods. This chapter also draws upon set theory, which may have been addressed briefly in Chapter 3. Chapter 12 also builds on concepts developed throughout the year, involving bivariate relationships. In some sense, many of the previous chapters deal with “ideal” data that exists only in a perfect world, and Chapter 12 offers tools for handling messy, real-world data.

Rigor: Because data analysis, counting, and probability problems often yield counter-intuitive results, particular attention should be paid to making conjectures and using reasoning. As always, students should have regular opportunities to explain their thinking (SMP3).

Option 1: Revisit Common

Core Performance

Tasks

Each chapter contains a Common Core Performance Task (CCPT), intended to deepen students’ understanding of the content, as they proceed through the lessons. The CCPT may be previewed before beginning a chapter, and students can share their early ideas on how to approach it. Later, as they develop and strengthen tools for solving the CCPT, they can return to it and approach it in a different light. CCPTs can be used as summative assessments for individual chapter or you can use them to summarize and wrap-up the school year.

Option 2: Cover Remaining

Content

Consider teaching the remaining content from the text, which can be a springboard for work in subsequent years. You may also want to check with your colleagues about what content you could pre-teach or what content they would like you to revisit. On the following pages, you will see several possibilities, related to exponents and exponential functions (Chapter 7), quadratic functions and equations (Chapter 9), radical expressions and equations (Chapter 10), and rational expressions and functions (Chapter 11).

Option 3: Mathematical Modeling in Three Acts

Students may remember Three-Act mathematical modeling activities from Grades 6-8. During the remainder of the year, consider offering students opportunities to engage authentically in the Standards for Mathematical Practice through the Mathematical Modeling activities available on Pearson Realize. You can find additional three-act modeling activities at: https://whenmathhappens.com/3-act-math/, https://gfletchy.com/3-act-lessons/, or within this Google Sheet.

Concept Byte

Analyzing Residual Plots Use residual plots to analyze the fit of quadratic and exponential regression for sets of data. Beyond Eligible

Content 9-8*

Systems of Linear and Quadratic Equations

Solve systems of linear and quadratic equations.

Focus: Chapter 9 concludes by studying quadratic equations and related functions. This content goes beyond the eligible content for the Algebra I Keystone Exam, but it is foundational to Algebra II.

Coherence: If time permits, an exploration of Chapter 9 supports students as they move into Geometry and Algebra II. Many topics of study in Geometry (like area) involve quadratic relationships, and Algebra II devotes significant time to studying non-linearity. This chapter builds on students understanding of roots, radicals, and inverse functions, studied earlier in the year and in less formal ways in prior grades.

Rigor: Using technology, to engage students in an investigation of quadratic functions and the influence of various coefficients, is a way to deepen students’ understanding of non-linearity. Translating among representations also builds a connected understanding of functions, as well.

10-5 Graphing Square Root Functions Graph square root functions, and translate graphs of square root functions. Beyond Eligible

Content 10-6* Trigonometric Ratios Find and use trigonometric ratios.

Focus: Chapter 10 concludes with a study of the square root function and trigonometric rations, topics typically covered in Geometry and Algebra II and that are beyond the eligible content on the Algebra I Keystone Exam.

Coherence: These sections extend students’ understanding of inverse functions of quadratics, allowing for connections to Geometry and Algebra II via triangles and function families, respectively.

Rigor: Consider introducing the Common Core Performance Task to students before covering this content and using their ideas on solutions, to lead into work on these sections. Then return to the CCPT after concluding the chapter, using the methods studied throughout Chapter 10.

Concept Byte

Graphing Rational Functions Graph rational functions.

Focus: Chapter 11 concludes by asking: What are characteristics of rational functions? How can you solve and make sense of solutions of rational equations? This material goes beyond the eligible content for the state assessment.

Coherence: This chapter extends the work done, earlier in Chapter 11, on simplifying rational expressions.

Rigor: Students develop a stronger understanding of families of functions in this chapter. Make connections to working with rational numbers during this chapter, to promote depth of understanding. Consider using the Common Core Performance Task to introduce and wrap-up this material. In doing so, students should share their solution strategies and explain their thinking, as they refine their approach.

Document Information Page Overview of Contents of Document

The Cover Page lays out the Topics taught within each Cycle as well as the corresponding dates.

The Benchmark Cycle X Standards pages that precede each cycle outline all of the standards that are taught within that cycle. These are, therefore, all of the standards that may be on that Cycle’s Benchmark.

The Benchmark Cycle X Scope and Sequence pages provide suggested pacing that allows for 1 day per lesson plus some flex days. We recommend proactively using the flex days for: reviewing pre-requisite content, splitting lessons over multiple days, assessing, reteaching, and doing projects. Of course, some of these will also be taken by field trips and other school activities.

The PA Core Standards and Eligible Content by Cycle page lists all of the standards and indicates in which cycle(s) they are taught.

What is a Cycle?

We want to offer clarity on what appears on each benchmark. Additionally, there should be sufficient time to teach that content before it is tested. Because each school administers the benchmark on a different day, not necessarily corresponding with the last day of the Term, we have created Cycles. Each Cycle contains the content that is to be taught and tested on a given benchmark. Please refer to the dates on the Cover Page to ensure you are aware of the beginning and ending dates for each Cycle.

What If I Fall Behind?

We trust you to make decisions about what is best for your students. This pacing will prepare you for the Benchmarks and Algebra 1 Keystone Exam, but it is a suggested, not mandated, pacing. You may also wish to move at a faster pace. Do not feel you should slow down to match this guide.

If you are concerned about content that you may not reach before the Keystone Exam, consider implementing number talks and other short routines and games. For example, a lot of mathematics vocabulary and concepts could be taught through Which Once Doesn’t Belong. Rather than pushing to “cover” content, or using test prep resources, content can be infused through short but meaningful structures.

THE SCHOOL DISTRICT OF PHILADELPHIA, OFFICE OF CURRICULUM, INSTRUCTION, AND ASSESSMENT, CHRISTOPHER SHAFFER, DEPUTY, 2017-2018

The Standards for Mathematical Practice are:

1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them

2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively

3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others

4. Model with mathematics

5. Use appropriate tools strategically

6. Attend to precision

7. Look for and make use of structure

8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning

You should try to infuse these Standards into your lessons regularly. Rather than thinking of them as a box to check, think about how you are providing students with opportunities to develop as mathematical thinkers and doers.

The Common Core has identified the following as the critical areas for Algebra I:

(1) Students analyze and explain the process of solving an equation, developing fluency in writing, interpreting, and translating between various forms of linear equations and inequalities, and using them to solve problems;

(2) Students learn function notation and develop the concepts of domain and range; they interpret functions given graphically, numerically, symbolically, and verbally, translate between representations, and understand the limitations of various representations; they use this understanding to explore systems of linear equations and inequalities;

(3) Students use regression techniques to describe approximately linear relationships between quantities, and they use graphical representations and knowledge of the context to make judgments about the appropriateness of linear models;

(4) They extended the laws of exponents to rational exponents; and (5) Students consider quadratic functions, comparing the key characteristics of quadratic functions to those of linear and exponential functions.

These do not necessarily reflect Keystone Exam content, but they are generally the essential content for preparing students for their studies of higher mathematics, including Geometry and Algebra II.

The School District of Philadelphia’s Vision for Mathematics Teaching and Learning:

All students think mathematically, and they will be empowered to own, share, and do mathematics.

Our Guiding Principles:

Equitable Discourse Rich + Meaningful Tasks Purpose-Driven Work

Questioning and Curiosity Valuing Diverse Thinking
