Algebra 1 - Unit VI Overview

Students will revisit grade 8 TEKS that they will be held accountable for on the TAKS test. Student will then investigate how algebra can be used to express generalizations and recognize and use the power of symbols to represent situations. Unit Six will conclude with radicals, the geometry connection and solving algebraic proportions.

Critical Questions:
  • What are real world examples of inverse variation?
  • What is a key strategy when working with radical equations?
  • What restrictions must be recognized when working with algebraic proportions?
