4.+Algebra+I+Integration

** Specific Student Outcomes ** The National Council for Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) clearly outlines five Process Standards for successful mathematics education. The incorporation of the iPad and selected application software into regular instruction will assist Algebra I teachers in addressing the following standards:
 * Algebra I **
 * Problem Solving: **
 * Solve problems that arise in mathematics and in other contexts
 * Apply and adapt a variety of appropriate strategies to solve problems
 * Monitor and reflect on the process of mathematical problem solving


 * Reasoning and Proof:**
 * Make and investigate mathematical conjectures
 * Develop and evaluate mathematical arguments and proofs
 * Select and use various types of reasoning and methods of proof


 * Communication:**
 * Make and investigate mathematical conjectures
 * Develop and evaluate mathematical arguments and proofs
 * Select and use various types of reasoning and methods of proof


 * Connections:**
 * Recognize and use connections among mathematical ideas
 * Understand how mathematical ideas interconnect and build on one another to produce a coherent whole
 * Recognize and apply mathematics in contexts outside of mathematics
 * Representation:**
 * Create and use representations to organize, record, and communicate mathematical ideas
 * Select, apply, and translate among mathematical representations to solve problems
 * Use representations to model and interpret physical, social, and mathematical phenomena

 * make real-world connections with content presented in class
 * analyze multiple-representations of data such as tables, graphs, function rules, and algebraic representations
 * present project-based investigations to classmates in an innovative manner
 * share ideas and collaborate with classmates to analyze and predict
 * gain exposure to simulations and graphics software that allow a deeper understanding of mathematical content
 * actively engage in mathematics instruction
 * organize ideas into visual representations such as charts and diagrams
 * establish ownership in the understanding of Algebra and increase retention of content presented
 * effectively review for assessments through application software
