Resources:
 Textbook: Prentice Hall Mathematics Algebra I
 Prentice Hall Mathematics Algebra I Practice Workbook
 Solutions Manual
Big Ideas:
 In order to solve systems of inequalities, the coordinate plane will be shaded and the solution set id the overlap of the shaded regions
rather than the intersection of two lines.
 There is more than one way to factor a polynomial depending on whether it has a leading coefficient of 1, a leading coefficient other than 1,
a perfect square, or a difference of two squares.
Essential Questions:
 When graphing inequalities on a coordinate plane, what is the difference between a dashed boundary line and a solid boundary line?
 What is the difference in the solution set of a system of equations and a solution set of a system of inequalities?
 How is it useful to simplify expressions by combining like terms?
 Why is it useful to write a number in scientific notation?
 Why is it helpful to factor a polynomial?
