Great Mills High School Math Department Summer Review Intermediate Algebra Name This packet contains review material. You have been taught and tested on this material in prior math courses. However, math is a cumulative study; it builds upon itself. Recalling these prerequisite mathematical concepts and processes is critical to your success in this course. The purpose of this review packet is three-fold: 1. Review/refresh prerequisite skills. Reinforce the expectation that you are prepared to take this course 3. Provide a smooth transition into a higher-level math course This material will be graded as follows: 1. Completion of this packet is a process grade for the class.. This packet will be returned to you and each problem will be reviewed. Following review, you will take a process-grade group quiz. 3. Lastly, there will be a product-grade individual quiz on this material. For each topic addressed, there are examples, explanations, and/or references, followed by a short set of practice problems. You are expected to complete this packet on your own. Be sure to show your work. If you need additional space, use lined notebook paper and This packet is due on August 1, 013, the first day of school. Topics: 1. Patterns Linear, Quadratic, Cubic and Geometric. Linear Equations and Graphs 3. Linear Inequalities. Graphs of Non-Linear Functions 5. Systems of Equations in Two Variables 6. Probability, Simulations and Making Predictions 7. Measures of Central Tendency 8. Misleading Data Representations
