NCTM Principles and Standards for School Mathematics

The Topics in Algebra 1 application and the Classroom Materials were written with the
guidelines of the NCTM Principles and Standards for School Mathematics in mind. Attention
was paid to the expectations laid out for the Algebra Content Standard for the Algebra 1 level
that crosses the 6–8 and 9–12 grade bands.
Some examples include:
NCTM Standards and Expectations
To understand patterns, relations, and
functions.
To model and solve contextualized problems
using various representations, such as graphs,
tables, and equations.
To analyze the nature of changes in quantities
in linear relationships.
In addition, scored, interactive activities at the end of each section help reinforce the concepts
reviewed in the Overview
You can find the complete expectations for the Algebra Content Standard and for the various
grade bands set out by the NCTM at:

On the Application
Students see how battery voltage values in a
series can be represented by a linear function.
Students experience how to work with tables of
values, graphs, and linear equations to see the
multiple approaches to problem solving.
Students determine the constant rate of change of
a diving submarine along each segment of its dive.
