SCMAPS activity correlation to South Carolina Algebra I Standards
Note: In order for a teacher to satisfy the content standard, it may be necessary to make minor extensions to the activities. For example,
finding a linear equation may not be specifically spelled out in the instructions of an activity, but all information to be able to do this is
included in the problem and this would be a natural course for students to take.
