Algebra 1 Course Outline
This is a course outline for Algebra 1, designed by Ann Shannon & Associates, LLC for the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation. This unit provides students with an opportunity to engage in meaningful mathematical investigations, drawing heavily on the eight Mathematical Practices. The objective is to help students understand the importance of seeing, doing, re-constructing, and supposing in learning mathematics.
Ensuring all students are prepared to succeed in college and career is at the heart of the Common Core State Standards. As teachers work hard to find ways to help all students reach these expectations, we’re working to ensure that there are high-quality instructional materials available that have been developed by teachers for teachers.
School districts around the country are stepping up to address an urgent need: to align curricula to new, high standards and adopt tools to aid teachers in teaching to them. One example is Florida’s Duval County Public Schools.
To do amazing work, teachers need the best tools. Just as chefs use top-grade knives to create a delicious meal, or doctors rely on accurate, dependable medical equipment to care for patients, great teachers use high-quality tools and curriculum aligned to college- and career-ready standards to help their students succeed.
