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.

American Born Chinese pages 85-160; discussion; comprehension questions. "Are all stereotypes harmful?" TedEd video, discussion, comprehension questions.
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.

1-4 Literal Equations and Formulas – We learned that literal equations are equations with two or more variables. They are solved by rewriting the equation to highlight the variable of interest. Next we learned to use formulas and equations to solve problems.
1-5 Solving Inequalities in One Variable – We learned that the solution to an inequality in one variable is solved by using the properties of inequalities. Then we learned how to solve inequalities with only variables.

Recap of yesterday's Big 5 Personality test results. Next, Cameron selected a "Who Am I: Meme assignment." Internet memes are well known by now, and used in a variety of ways. Today, Cameron demonstrated his understanding of how one might subtly change their behavior (personality/identity) for the sake of an audience's perception; conversely, how an audience perceives a person may not be their vision of their "truest self." Cameron created a meme collage of pictures/videos that illustrate this concept. His result can be found on Teams. He also wrote a paragraph to explain each connection.
1-3 Solving Equations with a Variable on Both Sides – The properties of equality are used to solve equations that have variables on each side. Then we learned to identify whether linear equations have one solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solution.
• An equation that is true for all values of the variables has infinitely many solutions and is called an identity.
• When there is no value of x that makes the equation true, there is no solution.
Next we practiced using the Multiplication Property of Equality to get the variable alone on one side of the equal sign.
