 * **Establish Goals (MLR):** **(G)** ||
 * Maine Learning Results: Mathematics - D. Algebra

//What understandings are desired?//
• through manipulation, equations can be solved. • problems can be solved and represented in different mediums (symbols, tables, graphs, verbal rules). ||
 * **//Students will understand that://** **(U)** ||
 * • solving equations can be related to real world situations.

//What essential questions will be considered?//
• How can equations be manipulated in order to be solved? • How can math equations be solved and represented through different mediums? ||
 * **Essential Questions:** **(Q)** ||
 * • Why is evaluating equations important in the real world?

//What key knowledge and skills will students acquire as a result of this unit?//
GCF, inequality, absolute value, quadrants • Symbols: inequalities, absolute value, square root, parentheses • Connections: quadratic graphs and answers from quadratic formula/ factoring, and graph and the answers found algebraically, differences between graphs || • describe the most efficient way of solving a problem. • make sense of graphs in order to solve problems. • use factoring in quadratics, where factoring is appropriate. • analyze a graph and determine if it's linear, quadratic, inequality or absolute value. • consider how equations and inequalities are used in real world situations. • recognize what styles of problem solving they are strong and weak at. ||
