Overview:
This unit is focused on the acquisition of algebraic skills that help students write equations and inequalities and use them to solve problems. The students will become familiar with the vocabulary associated with linear equations and inequalities, and they will get an insight into graphing inequalities and an introduction in graphing lines in slope-intercept form. They will also gain experience in using technology as a source of accessing and presenting information, and there will be many opportunities to connect the information they are learning in the classroom to their own lives.
