 Prentice Hall Mathematics Algebra I Practice Workbook
 Solutions Manual
Big Ideas:
 The order of operations is essential when simplifying expressions and equations.
 Variables can be used to find solutions to given equations and situations.
 Real life situations can be represented by expressions and equations that involve the use of numbers, variables, and symbols.
Essential Questions:
 Why is the order of operations important when simplifying algebraic expressions?
 How does writing an algebraic equation for a situation simplify the problem?
 How can equations be used when solving real world application problems?
 When is it necessary to use inequalities rather than equations to represent a situation?
 How can proportions be used to solve real world problems?
