 * =Brief Summary of Unit= ||
 * Through this unit students will understand that there is more than one way to solve an algebraic equation or inequality, that there are basic rules for solving algebraic equations, and that there are many things that can be derived from an algebraic equation. The essential questions to be considered are how do you solve systems of equations using Algebra, how will you factor and apply the quadratic formula to a problem, and why do certain equations look similar when graphed? The students will know formulas including point slope form, point intercept form, and how to work with both. They will also know terminology such as slope, points of intersection, x and y values, and absolute value. Finally they will know the definitions of absolute value, linear equations, quadratic equations, and families of equations. Students will then be able to derive different parts from an equation, evaluate an equation in more than one way, solve an equation using basic Algebra, analyze an equation to find POI and x-values, consider which rules to use in which situation, and recognize what Algebra needs to be used in a specific problem. ||
