Unit 6- Linear Inequalities End of Unit Test- Friday May 4th, 2018 (One page of notes allowed- OWN HANDWRITING)
Covers:
1. Solving Linear Inequalities: Solve using same steps as equations (distributive property, combine like terms, add and subtract, multiply and divide) However, if multiplying or dividing by a negative number, must change direction of inequality sign.
2. Graphing Linear Inequalities: Make sure equation is in y = mx + b format. then graph on coordinate plane (1. plot y-intercept at (0,b), 2. move using slope = rise / run from y-intercept). If <,>- dashed line between points; if ≤ , ≥- solid line between points. If y > or y ≥ must shade above. If y < or y ≤ must shade below. Solutions- shaded region. Non-solutions- non-shaded region.
3. Graphing Systems of Linear Inequalities: Graph both inequalities independently on the same coordinate plane using steps from topic #2. Solutions- overlapping shaded region. Non-solutions- non-overlapping shaded region.
4. Application of Linear Systems of Inequalities: Write two inequalities from a scenario either in slope -intercept form (y = mx + b, where m = slope / constant rate of change / "per", and b = start value) or in standard form (Ax + By = C, where C = total, and A and B = the values being added). Then graph the inequality and find the overlapping shaded region.

Unit 5- Systems of Linear Equations End of Unit Test- Tuesday April 24th, 2018 / Wednesday April 25th, 2018 (Two pages of notes allowed- OWN HANDWRITING)
Covers:
1. Graphing Linear Systems of Equations: Graph both equations in y = mx + b format (m=slope, rise/run; b=y-intercept, start value). One solution- where they intersect; no solutions- parallel lines, will never intersect; infinite solutions- same exact line.
2. Solving Linear Systems of Equations with Substitution: Take one equation in the system and replace a variable in the other equation with itself. (Ex: y = 2x+1 and 2x + 4y = 14 ---> 2x + 4(2x + 1) = 14)
3. Solving Linear Systems of Equations with Elimination: Eliminate a variable (x or y). In order to do so, the coefficient MUST form a zero pair when the equations are added or subtracted. You may need to multiply the entire equation by a constant in order to make a zero pair. (Ex: x + y = 14 and 2x - y = 2, add them together (x + y = 14) + (2x - y = 1) ---> (x + 2x) + (y - y) = (14 + 1) ---> 3x = 15 ---> x = 5)
4. Systems of Equations: Real World Applications: Write two equations from a scenario either in slope -intercept form (y = mx + b, where m = slope / constant rate of change / "per", and b = start value) or in standard form (Ax + By = C, where C = total, and A and B = the values being added). Then using one of our methods to solve a system of equations (graphing, substitution, or elimination).

Unit 4- Graphing Linear Functions End of Unit Test- Tuesday March 27th, 2018 (One page of notes allowed)
Covers:
1. Analyze Linear Functions- Does a certain point fall on the line of the linear equation?
2. Graphing Linear Functions Using Given Information- Writing a linear equation that passes through two points or passes through one point with a given slope.
3. Graphing Linear Functions in Standard Form- Calculate the x- and y-intercepts of a standard form linear equation or solving the equation of the line for its y-coordinate (put it in slope intercept form) in order to graph the function. As well as creating an equation for a line in standard form by analyzing a real world scenario.
4. Graphing Parallel and Perpendicular Lines- Graph and write equations of lines that are parallel and perpendicular by understanding the relationship between the slopes of a pair of lines.
Unit 3 Linear Equation End of Unit Test- Wednesday March 14th, 2018 (Two pages of notes allowed)
Covers:
1.The language of algebra- Writing algebraic expressions
2.Combining like terms- (ex: 3x + 4x = 7x)
3.One-step equations- addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division
4.Two-step equations
5.Distributive property (ex: 4(2x – 3) = 4(2x) + 4(-3) = 8x - 12
6.Multi-Step Equations(distributive property, combining like terms on same side, inverse operations (add and subtract first, then multiply and divide)
7.Literal Equations (solving for a given variable)
Signed 3rd Quarter Interim due Wednesday February 28th, 2018
Algebra Nation Start Up!- Finished by Monday February 26th, 2018
1. Go to algebranation.com
2. Select South Carolina
3. Click enter
4. Type in Sumter High School
5. Google login with school email
6. Scroll down and select first option: 'On Ramp to Algebra (Adaptive Pre-Algebra Learning Tool)'
Try your hardest because this will dictate where you stand so far in algebra 1. If you do really well, you skip a number of topics and can potentially move on early.
