Big Ideas/Unit Goals:

- Solve equations and inequalities in one variable.

- Solve systems of equations.
- Represent and solve equations and inequalities graphically.
- Solve equations and inequalities in two variables

Unit Summary:

In this unit plan, students will understand solving equations as a process of reasoning and explain the
equations with one or more variables. Students will understand functions and the many properties ass
