TOPIC 2 – REVIEW FOR EXAM
The exam covers concepts learned in Lessons 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4. The following objectives were introduced:
1. Identify constants, variables, terms and coefficients
in an algebraic expression
2. Combine like terms
3. Evaluate expressions and formulas for given values of the variables
4. Recognize a linear equation
5. Solve a linear equation with whole number coefficients
6. Solve an equation with fractional coefficients
7. Solve equations with no solutions or infinite solutions
8. Solve formulas for a particular variable
9. Translate words into algebraic expressions
10. Solve word problems
11. Recognize solutions of linear inequalities
12. Graph solutions of inequalities in one variable
13. Solve a linear inequality
14. Solve problems involving inequalities
To study for the exam:
1. review material on the CD
2. in your PAN for each lesson (2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4)
• review objectives (pages 136, 160, 179, 198)
• read the EXPLAIN sections and do the sample problems for EXPLAIN and EXPLORE
(pages 127-135, 141-159, 165-178, 187-197)
• do the HOMEWORK (pages 137, 161, 180-181, 199)
• review the APPLY practice problems you have done
• do the EVALUATE practice test (pages 139, 164, 185, 201) (note: answers to all
questions for the EVALUATE practice test may be found at the back of your PAN)
3. do the Topic 2 Cumulative Activities in your PAN (pages 202-203)
