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).

A1.1.2.1.1, A1.1.2.1.2, A1.1.2.1.3

Note: Chapter 1 concentrates on two essential questions: Can equations that appear different be equivalent? How can you solve equations and make sense of their solutions? Be certain to maintain rigor during this chapter and beyond by asking students to explain their thinking.

* Lessons marked with an asterisk may require two 45-minute class periods, for which flex days may be used.

a Each lesson is preceded by an Activity, intended to support students in problem-solving and the PA Core Standards for Mathematical Practice.

b Note also that Extension lessons sometimes contain content that is assessed on the Keystone Algebra I Exam. When Eligible Content is not included, these lessons are marked “Beyond Eligible Content.”

Review foundational knowledge and check for understanding, as needed, through “Do Nows” or “Bell Ringers,” homework, and teacher-created assessments. Review content from 8th Grade on integers and rational numbers, as you feel necessary. Be mindful of the suggested pacing with flex days for this sort of review, but note that much of the content related to these topics is not directly assessed on the Algebra I Keystone Exam.

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 Which One Doesn’t Belong (wodb.ca), Estimation180.com, Three-Act Math modeling activities (see Remediation and Extension in Cycle 4), algebra tiles (available, free and virtually at http://nlvm.usu.edu/), or SolveMe Puzzles (http://solveme.edc.org/). Also consider using flex days, on occasion, to work on the Big Ideas Projects (see Appendix A of the Teacher’s Edition).

Note: Students 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? Note that this chapter largely covers Module 2 content. Efforts have been made to keep Module 1 content together and Module 2 content together, as long as the progression of ideas is not significantly interrupted. 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.

** Lesson 2.6 may require three 45-minute class periods, for which flex days may be used.

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? 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. 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.

Focus: In Chapter 5, 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). Ideas underlying the essential questions, above, permeate algebra and higher mathematics.

Note: In Chapter 6, students investigate these essential questions: How can you represent very large and very small numbers? How can you simplify expressions involving exponents? In Lesson 6.3, focus on square roots and perfect cube roots to address the Assessment Anchors. This topic is traditionally presented as a set of rules to memorize. To foster deeper understanding, instead, students should draw on their problem-solving and reasoning abilities, including exploring with calculators and whole numbers, to conjecture and justify these rules themselves. Note that Chapter 6 plays a crucial role in transitioning from studying linear functions and expressions to studying polynomials. Building on students understanding of exponents, students will compose and decompose linear expressions in performing operations with and factoring polynomial expressions. Also note that the remaining lessons in this chapter (Lessons 6.4 to 6.7) go beyond the eligible content for the Algebra I Keystone Exam, and so these lessons have been moved until later in the year.

** Lesson 6.1 may require four 45-minute class periods, for which flex days may be used.

*** Note, as with Chapter 5, some lessons go beyond the eligible content. Use Lesson 6.1 as an opportunity to support students with comparing, ordering, and estimating rational and irrational numbers by asking targeted questions during discussions. Do not emphasize the terminology closed. In Lesson 6.3, some examples include exponents that are not integers from -10 to 10, but only non-integer square roots and perfect cube roots represent content that is eligible to be assessed on the Algebra I Keystone Exam.

Note: Chapter 7 addresses these essential questions: Can two algebraic expressions that appear different be equivalent? How are the properties of real numbers related to polynomials? In Lesson 7.9 and 7.9 EXT, concentrate on factoring trinomials where a = 1 after factoring out all monomials. Chapter 7 ties together storylines from three previous chapters: linear functions in Chapters 2 and 5, and exponents in Chapter 6. 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 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.

How can you make and interpret different representations of data? How is probability related to real-world events? 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. 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.

Remediation and Extension Options

Option 1: Revisit Activities

or Big Ideas Math Projects

Each chapter contains an opening Activity, intended to deepen students’ understanding of the content, as they proceed through the lessons. As students develop and strengthen tools for solving the Activity, they can return to them and approach them in a different light. Activities could be used to summarize and wrap-up the school year. In addition, the Big Ideas Math Projects in Appendix A are interdisciplinary projects that can support students’ problem-solving capacities and engagement with the Standards for Mathematical Practice.

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 6), quadratic functions and equations (Chapters 8-9), 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 Three-Act Math activities. You can find Three-Act modeling activities at: https://whenmathhappens.com/3-act-math/, https://gfletchy.com/3-act-lessons/, or within this Google Sheet.

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 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
