This week, we will be reviewing one-step inequalities and graphing equations in slope-intercept form.  The new topics that we will cover are two-step inequalities and inequality word problems.  We will also practice inequalities with rational numbers.  Typically, students are given guided and independent practice in class and the homework is simply anything that they have not finished yet.  Students always have at least 30 minutes in class to begin their independent practice and ask questions.

Homework:
Tuesday (1/7) - One-Step Inequalities WS
Wednesday (1/8) - Two-Step Inequalities WS and WB 3-8 #1-10
