GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

UNIT 10: Linear Equations CA State Standards: 5.0 Students solve multi-step problems, including word problems, involving linear equations and linear inequalities in one variable and provide justification for each step. 6.0 Students graph a linear equation and compute the x- and y- intercepts (e.g., graph 2x + 6y = 4). They are also able to sketch the region defined by linear inequality (e.g., they sketch the region defined by 2x + 6y < 4). 7.0 Students verify that a point lies on a line, given an equation of the line. Students are able to derive linear equations by using the point-slope formula. 8.0 Students understand the concepts of parallel lines and perpendicular lines and how those slopes are related. Students are able to find the equation of a line perpendicular to a given line that passes through a given point.

LONG-TERM ASSIGNMENTS AND PROJECTS

There will be a test at the end of each Unit. The class will review for 1-2 days before each test. The test for Unit 9 will be held on Thursday May 29, 2008. The class will do frequent reviews of problems similar to those found on the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE). Late work WILL NOT be accepted after the grading period has ended (approximately every 2 weeks). RED and BLUE indicate which textbook the work is out of, based on the color of the book cover.
