 * =Brief Summary of Unit= ||
 * Which cell phone plan is really best for your family? How many shirts and pairs of jeans can you get with the amount of money that you have in your pocket? To solve these questions one will need to use linear equations. Linear equations are present in our daily life and we do not even realize it. Throughout this unit, students will learn to work with linear equations so that they are prepared to solve these daily questions. Students will learn how to solve and decipher the different components of these equations. Students will also learn the differences between linear equations and inequalities and how they are important in life.From the beginning, students will start integrating the concepts of linear equations and inequalities into everyday life situations. After learning these basics, the students’ knowledge will be broadened by learning about the concept of factoring using the quadratic formula. Students will be introduced to the connection between linear equations and the quadratic formula and how they work together. Students will learn to apply their newly found knowledge in a creative way to “Design an Island.” Linear equations are present in everyday life, so students will be given the tools to successfully solve these kinds of situations. ||
