Students and Parents,

Welcome to our Algebra I Wikispace. This is your one-stop for all class materials, tutorials and math challenge problems. If you miss class, you can visit our Wikispace to download missed work. If you need assistance with a mastery objective, come to our Wikispace to watch tutorial videos and find new practice opportunities. If you are ready to be challenged mathematically, check out the math enrichment problems posted on our Wikispace.

We would like your suggestions for making our Wikispace more useful for learning. Please email us at pbuckland@pcsedu.org or jmensik@pcsedu.org with any ideas or comments.

Mrs. Buckland and Miss Mensik

Inequalities
<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">**Big Idea:** Inequalities often more accurately represent real-life situations, since most solutions involve a range of acceptable values as opposed to the single solutions we find when using equations.
