McDougal Littell ALGEBRA 1 correlated to the
New Hampshire Mathematics Curriculum Framework
6b. K-12 Broad Goal: Students will use algebraic concepts and processes to
represent situations that involve variable quantities with expressions, equations,
inequalities, matrices and graphs.
PURPOSE: Algebra is the language through which much of mathematics is communicated. It
provides a means of representing concepts at an abstract level and then applying
those concepts. Students in grades K-6 should explore algebraic concepts in an
informal way, emphasizing physical models, data, graphs and other mathematical
representations. Formal algebraic manipulation may be deferred to later grades.
The understanding of algebraic representation is a prerequisite to formal work in
virtually all of mathematics. Algebraic processes are important tools in the study
of natural sciences and social sciences.
