Algebra: Equations, Expressions, Inequalities

Remembering: 

1. Define the following using the VOCABULARY EXPANSION CHART: expression, equation, variable, inequality, order of operations, inverse operation. 

Understanding:

1. Practice creating equations using the variable machine.   Don't forget to use the Order of Operations. 

2. Read through and do the Solving Equations activities on pages 1-4 of this site.  Then take the test to see if you get it.  

3. Watch the video explaining how to solve inequalities.   Summarize the rules and add them to your list.   

4. Watch the video.  Then read through and do the activities on solving inequalities on pages 1-4 of this site.  Then take the test to see if you get it. 

5.  Even more practice graphing inequalities on a number line.  The problems get harder as you go... How far can you get? 

 Applying:

Complete the REVIEW (pg. 122) and check your answers with the KEY.  Revise any missed problems.  Ask questions!  Make sure you understand WHY you missed each problem. 

 

Analyzing/Evaluating/Creating: Choose 2.

1. Write a word problem that requires the use of a variable to solve. Solve it. 

2. Create some algebraic expression flash cards.  Write the words on one side and the symbols on the other.   Example: 3x-6 would be on one side and "Six less than three times a number" would be on the other. 

3. Write 4 inequalities and then graph them on a number line.
