Students make organized lists and find patterns to help them solve problems. They draw table formations and label how many people can sit there. They make predictions about how the tables be set up and what happen to the seating.

Students define the slope of the line, find the slope between any two points on the line, and allow them to name other areas where the slope is used. They explain why the slope is defined as the rise over the run.

Students establish a solid competence in solving all types of equations and a solid understanding of how variables and equations can be utilitzed to solve real life problems.
