Algebra Interactive Notebook

There are a total of 10 units that include:

Unit 1 - Prerequisite for Algebra and Algebraic Expressions

Unit 2 - Solving and Graphing Linear Equations and Inequalities

Unit 3 - Features of a Function

Unit 4 - Sequences (Arithmetic and Geometric)

Unit 5 - Graphing Lines and Determining Slope

Unit 6 - Expressions Containing Exponents

Unit 7 - Solving and Graphing Systems of Equations and Inequalities

There are two pages for each concept. The first page is used for direct instruction (notes) and the second page is for students to practice the concept. The first page includes a "I can..." statement and the second page includes an area where students can rate themselves on how well they understand the concept. This allows students to look back in their interactive notebook before a test and know which concept they need to study. There are some pages that have foldables.
