[email protected] Algebra 1 Summer Packet
Algebra 1 2016-17 SUMMER PACKET Ms. Bank
Just so you know what to expect next year ……
We will use the same text that was used this past year: Algebra 1 published by McDougall Littell ISBN-13:978-0-6185-9402-3.
Summer Packet
To help students retain the math skills listed on the following page, the math department requires rising Algebra 1 students to complete this Algebra Summer Math Packet. The skills required to answer the questions in this packet are ones that should have been mastered by students in previous math courses. They are the skills covered in the first two chapters of the Algebra textbook. The packet contains a brief review and example problems for each skill.
Students are to complete all of the questions in the Practice and Quiz sections for each skill.
Please note: 1. Working through these problem sets is mandatory.
2. Students are to bring completed problem sets with them to turn in on the first day theirmath class meets next school year.
3. All work is to be done in pencil on notebook paper. ALL WORK MUST BE SHOWN.
4. Students should NOT use calculators on any portion of the packet.
5. Students should check their work upon completion of each section. Answers to thequestions are located in the back of the packet. If an answer is incorrect, studentsshould return to the work shown, attempt to find the source of the error(s), and correctthe problem.
6. If students need more explanation and practice, they should read the correspondingsection in the first or second chapter of the text and work odd numbered problems tocheck for understanding. (Answers to odd numbered problems are in the back of thetext.)
7. Students will be given a homework grade for completion of this packet.
8. Students will take a test covering this material in the first week of school. Remember itis truly beneficial to keep your mathematical mind oiled over the summer.
Should you lose this packet, it can be found on my school web page. Should you have questions, I will be checking email throughout the summer.
WORK IS TO BE DONE ON NOTEBOOK PAPER IN PENCIL. You will not turn in your copy of the packet, just your work.

BENCHMARK 1(Chapters 1 and 2)
A. Expressions, Equations, and Inequalities (pp. 1–3)
A variable is a letter used to represent one or more numbers. An algebraic expressionis made from numbers, variables, and algebraic operations. The following examples describe how expressions can be evaluated, combined, written, and used to write algebraic equations and inequalities.
1. Evaluate ExpressionsEvaluate an expression Substitute a number for the variable, perform the operation(s), and simplify the result if necessary.
Evaluate the expression.

B. Problem Solving (pp. 4–5)
One way to try solving a math problem is to use an organized strategy, or problem-solving plan. Read the problem to fi nd what information is given and what you need to fi nd out. Decide on the strategy you will use, and apply it to solve the problem. Finally, check that your solution makes sense.
1. Check Possible SolutionsSolution of an equation or inequality A number that can be substituted for the variable in an equation or inequality to make a true statement.
Check whether the given number is a solution of the equation or inequality.
a. 2x 2 8 5 22; 3 b. x}3 1 1 5 7; 6 c. x 2 5 3; 2

2. Read and Understand a ProblemRead the problem below. Identify what you know and what you need to fi nd out. You do not need to solve the problem.
You run in a city where the short blocks on north-south 0.2 mi
0.03 mistreets are 0.03 miles long. The long blocks on east-west streets are 0.2 mile long. You will run 2 long blocks east, a number of short blocks south, 2 long blocks west, then back to your starting point. You want to run 1.1 miles. How many short blocks should you run?
Solution:
What do you know? Each short block is 0.03 miles long. Each long block is 0.2 miles long. You will run 4 long blocks total (2 east 1 2 west). You will run s short blocks total (south and north). You want to run a total of 2 miles.
What do you want to fi nd out? How many short blocks should you run so that the distance you run on short blocks and the distance you run on 4 long blocks makes a total of 1.1 miles?

C. Representations of Functions (pp. 6–9)
Functions can be represented by mapping diagrams, tables, verbal or algebraic function rules, and graphs. Each input value and its corresponding output value make up an ordered pair. An ordered pair can be written as (input, output) or plotted as a point on a coordinate grid.
1. Identify the Domain and Range of a FunctionFunction A pairing of input values to output values, where the value of each output depends on the value of the corresponding input, and each input corresponds to exactly one output.
Domain The set of input values for a function.
Range The set of output values for a function.
Identify the domain and range of the function.

D. Operations (pp. 10–14)
Whole numbers, integers, and rational numbers are part of the set of real numbers. The following examples describe different operations with real numbers.
1. Find Opposites of Real NumbersOpposite of a real number a 2a (read “the opposite of a”) is the same distance from 0 on a number line as a, but it is on the opposite side of 0.
For the given value of a, fi nd 2a.
a. a 5 3 b. a 5 7 3}5 c. a 5 25.4
Solution:
a. 2a 5 2(3) b. 2a 5 217 3}5 2 c. 2a 5 2(25.4)
2a 5 23 2a 5 27 3}5 2a 5 5.4
For the given value of the variable, fi nd the opposite.

2. Find Absolute Values of Real NumbersAbsolute value of a real number a ZaZ (read “the absolute value of a”) is the distance between a and 0 on a number line. If a is greater than or equal to 0, ZaZ is a. If a is less than zero, ZaZ is the opposite of a.
For the given value of a, fi nd ZaZ.
a. a 5 8 b. a 5 2 4}9 c. a 5 11.5
Solution:
a. ZaZ 5 Z8Z 5 8 b. ZaZ 5 )2 4}9 ) 5 212

c. ZaZ 5 Z11.5Z 5 11.5
For the given value of the variable, fi nd the absolute value.

10. v 5 29 11. n 5 23}5
12. h 5 10 8}9
3. Add Real NumbersSum The result of adding two or more real numbers.
To use a number line to fi nd the sum of a 1 b:
• Start at a.
• If b 0, you will move to the right. If b 0, you will move to the left.
• Find ZbZ and move that many units.
• The number you stop on is the sum.
EXAMPLE
Note that 2a is postive when a is negative.

E. Properties and Real Numbers (pp. 15–18)
Taken together, the rational and irrational numbers make up the set of real numbers. The following examples illustrate some characteristics and properties of real numbers.
1. Classify Real NumbersWhole numbers A subset of the real numbers; A whole number is either 0 or one of the “counting numbers,” 1, 2, 3, . . .
Integers A subset of the real numbers; The integers are the set of whole numbers and their opposites, . . . 23, 22, 21, 0, 1, 2, 3, . . .
Rational numbers A subset of the real numbers; A rational number can be expressed as the ratio of two integers, and its decimal form terminates or repeats.
Irrational numbers A subset of the real numbers; An irrational number cannot be expressed as the ratio of two integers, and its decimal form neither terminates nor repeats.
Choose the word that best describes each: whole, integer, rational, or irrational.
a. 28 b. 3}4 c. 2Ï
}7
d. 20.1 e. Ï}
100 f. 4 1}3
Solution:
a. Integer; opposite of a b. Rational; ratio of two c. Irrational; cannot be whole number integers written as ratio of two integers nor as a terminating or repeating decimal
d. Rational; terminating e. Whole; Ï}
100 5 10 f. Rational; 13}3
5 4.333,
decimal a repeating decimal
Choose the word that best describes each: whole, integer, rational, or irrational.

Remember that theadditive inverseof a, 2a, is notnecessarily anegative number.
2. Order Real NumbersTo order real numbers from least to greatest, graph them first. Then read the numbers from left to right.

Solution:
45
2345
5 4.5 4

3. Identify Properties of AdditionAdditive identity The number 0 is the additive identity. When 0 is added to a real number a, the sum equals a.
Additive inverse The opposite of a real number a is its additive inverse. The sum of a real number and its additive inverse always equals 0.
Identify the property of addition being illustrated.
