IdeaGrade 8Algebra ISequence note
Linear equations in one variableNY-8.EE.7AI-A.REI.3Teach once in Unit 4 with Grade 8 special cases, then extend to literal equations and modeling.
Slope and y = mx + bNY-8.EE.5–6, NY-8.F.3–4AI-F.IF.6, AI-F.LE.2Unit 3 is the combined treatment. Algebra I adds average rate of change for nonlinear functions.
Systems of two linear equationsNY-8.EE.8AI-A.REI.6, AI-A.REI.11Unit 5 covers graphing and algebra. Algebra I emphasizes f(x) = g(x) and approximate solutions.
FunctionsNY-8.F.1–5AI-F.IF.1–2Define functions in Grade 8 language, then layer domain, range, and f(x) in the same unit.
Scatter plots and linear modelsNY-8.SP.1–3AI-S.ID.6–7One data unit. Algebra I adds residual thinking and correlation language.
TransformationsNY-8.G.1–4AI-F.BF.3Geometry first. Later, rename translations/stretches as function transformations.
