Activity 1 : : Activity 2 : : Activity 3

This module introduces the basic concepts of algebra.  It is designed to develop your understanding of variables, equations, inequalities, and graphs.  You will progress from operating with algebraic expressions to solving and graphing linear equations and inequalities.  Linear equations and inequalities are used to model several real-world applications.

Activity 1: Key Terms & Definitions

  • Algebraic Expression
  • Variable
  • Constant
  • Evaluate
  • Equation
  • Equivalent Expressions
  • Solution
  • Inequalities

In your notebook for IS Math, continue your glossary section for quick reference.
