About

The goal of this series is to prepare for algebra 1 over the summer! Each week, we will be focusing on two topics, with three sessions a week. In order to do this, I will be pairing shorter units with longer units. Dates/times are subject to change, my summer is a bit hectic! Office hours and catch-up sessions will also be available!

Session 13

Inequalities (systems & graphs)

In this session, we will be going in-depth on inequalities! Starting off with using the knowledge from systems of equations, we will test solutions systems of inequalities. Then, we will graph inequalities on the coordinate plane. This is a short unit, so depending on how much time we have left, we might start on Functions.
