Algebra I Unit 1

Big Idea:

Use algebraic properties to interpret and solve equations and inequalities in one variable.

Student Expectations:

Priority TEKS

A.5(A) [Readiness] solve linear equations in one variable, including those for which the application of the distributive property is necessary and for which variables are included on both sides

Focus TEKS

A.5(B) [Supporting] solve linear inequalities in one variable, including those for which the application of the distributive property is necessary and for which variables are included on both sides

A.12(E) [Supporting] solve mathematic and scientific formulas, and other literal equations, for a specified variable

Student Learning Targets:

• I will identify and use patterns in data to represent equations and inequalities
• I will understand the difference in expressions, equations, and inequalities
• I will write and solve equations and inequalities in to model real world situations
• I will interpret parts of expressions, equations, and inequalities
• I will identify equations that have one solution, no solution, or multiple solutions
• I will manipulate and apply literal equations and formulas for specific values
• I will solve multi-step inequalities and interpret their solutions

Essential Questions:

• Why are equations and inequalities useful in real world settings?
• How can you represent patterns from everyday life by using tables, expressions, and graphs?
