Solving Systems of Equations and Inequalities: An Algebra Unit Plan Aligned to the New York State Common Core

As a response to both the implementation of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and a recent approval of a change by the New York State Board of Regents to allow multiple pathways for graduation, this curriculum project, which will be referred to as a unit plan throughout the paper, was designed to meet the need for more units of study that address looking for and making use of structure in Algebra. The unit plan on solving systems of equations and inequalities is aligned to the New York State Common Core Learning Standards for mathematics (NYSCCLM) and addresses looking for and making use of structure, mathematical practice standard number 7. This unit plan, which may provide a method by which Algebra teachers can continue to work toward the Common Core State Standards Initiative (CCSSI) goal of preparing students for both college and career success, was validated by a tenured teacher of Algebra.
