Notes: Material from 7th-10th is technically review (covered at end of 1st semester) -- but will mostly present again as if novel material -- SSE = Solving Systems of Equations

Standards for unit: 2008 AZ Math Standards: 1) MHS.S3C3.07 Strand 3: Concept 3: PO. 7 Strand 5: Concept 2: PO. 1 Patterns, Algebra & Functions Algebraic Representations
Solve systems of two linear equations in two variables.

2) MHS.S5C2.01

Structure & Logic Logic, Reasoning, Problem Solving, Proof

Analyze a problem situation, determine the question(s) to be answered, organize given information, determine how to represent the problem, and identify implicit and explicit assumptions that have been made

Common Core 1) HS.A-REI.6

Solve systems of linear equations exactly and approximately (e.g., with graphs), focusing on pairs of linear equations in two variables.
