Test on Topic 1 Solving Equations and Inequalities.

Andrew's stomach really seem to bother him today. He made several trips to the bathroom and did not feel up to doing any algebra.

Ben began the second section of chapter I from the Prentice Hall textbook, order of operations and evaluating expressions.

1-7 Absolute Value Equations and Inequalities – We learned to solve equations and inequalities that involve absolute value. Then we used equations and inequalities that involve absolute value to solve problems. We learned that the solution to an absolute value equation either has two solutions, one positive and one negative, or there is no value of x that makes the absolute value equation true. We discovered that the solution to an absolute value inequality is a compound inequality that uses or or and. Then we reviewed for a test on Solving Equations and Inequalities.
Assignment: For homework complete assigned problems. We practiced for the end of course algebra one test problems involving linear equations and inequalities.

Teacher did planning for future sessions with Andrew.

Ben continued exercises from the first chapter his algebra 1, Prentice Hall textbook, variables and expressions.

1-6 Compound Inequalities– We learned how to create and solve the system of inequalities. Then we practiced interpreting the solution to a compound inequality within a modeling context. Next we learned that a compound inequality is a combination of two or more inequalities used to describe multiple constraints. We solved compound inequalities and interpreted the solutions as viable or nonviable options within a modeling context.
