This prep lesson bridges previously mastered linear equation concepts with newer topics like scatter plots, correlation, and linear inequalities. Students will synthesize modeling techniques and algebraic conversions to prepare for the cumulative unit test.

A comprehensive series of activities where students learn to identify, model, and solve systems of linear equations to find the 'better deal' in real-world scenarios.

Students practice translating real-world scenarios into linear equations, tables, and graphs using positive whole numbers. This lesson reinforces the relationship between initial fees (y-intercept) and rates of change (slope).
