Focus on Teaching Key Topics/Concepts

Day 1: Appetizers

Numbers: Rational or Irrational

What are they?

Mark all irrationals in the list: \[\frac{1}{3}, ~~0, ~~-\sqrt{2}，~~\pi, ~~\sqrt{121}, ~~(\sqrt{5})^0,~~ -\frac{1}{3}, ~~0.\overline{7}, ~~2^{-3}\]

Equations

How can we teach students to solve each of the following equations:

1. \(-2x-1=7\)
2. \(\frac{x}{27}=\frac{2}{3}\)
3. \(\frac{x+1}{x-2}=\frac{2}{3}\)
4. \(\sqrt{x}=5\)
5. \(\sqrt{x-2}=5\)
6. \(2^x=32\)
7. \(2^{x()3}=32\)
8. \(log_2^{x}=4\)
9. \(log_2^{x-5}=4\)
10. \(|x|=15\)

Inequalities

How can we teach students to solve each of the following equations:

1. \(-2x-1<7\)
