Frayer Foldable- fold the paper in half both
width and length wise. While folded into
fours, fold down the corner that has all
creases. Open the paper and it should look
like shown:

1.3 Open Sentences
Set up a chart/table with the replacement set
and equation
Fill in the chart to find which elements of the
replacement set are solutions
List the solution set
Find the solution set for 28=4(1+3d) if
the replacement set is d={0, 1, 2, 3}

1.3 Open Sentences
An open sentence with <, >, ,
is an
inequality
Solve for the solution set the same way as a
regular open sentence equation
Find the solution set for 19>2y-5 if the
replacement set is n={5, 6, 7, 8, 9}

1.4 Identity and Equality Properties
1.5 Distributive Property
1.6 Commutative and Associative Properties

1.8 Number Systems
Positive Numbers: listed to the right of zero
Negative Numbers: listed to the left of zero
Natural Numbers: 1, 2, 3, …
Whole Numbers: 0, 1, 2, 3, …
Integers: -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, …
Includes natural numbers and zero
Includes natural, whole, and negative numbers
Rational Numbers: any numbers that can be written
as a fraction
Includes natural, whole, and negative numbers, and
integers
1.8 Number Systems
Square root: one of two equal factors of a number
(what times itself equals the number?)
ex : 16 4or 4
because 4 4 16, and 4 4 16
Irrational Numbers: numbers that cannot be written
as terminating decimals or as a fraction
Real Numbers: all rational and irrational numbers
1.9 Functions and Graphs
Frayer Foldable- fold the paper in half both
width and length wise. While folded into
fours, fold down the corner that has all
creases. Open the paper and it should look
like shown:
1.9 Functions and Graphs
Function
A relationship between input and output- the output
depends on the input
A function is graphed using a coordinate system,
formed by two intersecting number lines
y
x-axis: horizontal line/axis
y-axis: vertical line/axis
origin: (0, 0) where the axes intersect
(x, y): ordered pair
x
1.9 Functions and Graphs
Independent variable: the variable in a
function that is subject to choice (changes on
its own)
Such as- years, days, hours, etc.
Dependent variable: the variable in a function
that changes value based upon the
independent variable
1.9 Functions and Graphs
Relation: a set of ordered pairs
Domain: all the x coordinates listed least to
greatest
{(1, 29), (2, 58), (3, 58), (4,87), (5, 116)}
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
Range: all the y coordinates listed least to
greatest
{29, 58, 87, 116}
1.9 Functions and Graphs
Discrete function: a graph that consists of
points that are not connected
Continuous function: a graph that has a line or
smooth curve of connected points
