|Camp Boom! 5 | Systems of Linear Inequalities | Summer Camp
"Boom! Nailed it! I know to solve systems of linear inequalities!" This is what your learner will say at the end of this 25-minutes 3x in 1 week mini-camp learnes begin by reviewing systems of linear equations and then move to solving systems of linear equations.

We're going to learn how to set up, interpret, and solve a system of linear equations. The concepts here are so important, not only for business and in everyday life (as with the example I gave in the intro about using a certain amount of fund for movies and popcorn). It's also extremely crucial for all STEM fields. So much so that in computer coding, whole fields of math are dedicated to teaching software developers how to take systems of multiple equations and use their coefficients of each of the variable to form matrices which can be solved using computers. Lost? Don't worry- we're not anywhere close to that! But what we will deal with is just two equations with two unknown variables. Well show what the two equations in the systems means on a coordinate plan and then show ways to solve for each of those variables. Once we understand how it's done, we'll take that knowledge and apply it to word problems. Day 1: We'll learn what is a system of linear inequalities and look for examples of how it shows up in real life. We'll discuss what the solution of the pair looks like graphically and how to determine graphically and through the elements of the linear equations in the system how many solution the system has. Day 2: We will learn how to determine whether and ordered pair is a solution to a system of linear inequalities. We learn how to solve the system of inequalities through substitution and elimination. We'll discuss how to choose which one to use. We will apply systems of linear equations to word problems and practice our skill at these. Day 3: We will practice many word problems with systems of inequalities to improve our speed and skill. Students will first review concepts. We will then practice the easier questions and, as mastery develops, move to the harder questions. We apply the "I do"/ "We do" / "You Do" to the more difficult questions. Thanks for having your learner study with me. I can't wait to see him/her in class!
Learning Goals
At the end of this mini-camp, learners will be able to say, "I can easily solve systems of linear inequalities."
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Necessary prerequisite knowledge:
Prerequisites for Algebra 1 in general
The student should be ready to handle Algebra 1 level skills, including Fluency with basic math operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division), fractions, percents, and decimals, Ratio and proportion.
Prerequisites for this point in the linear algebra learning
The student should also have a fairly robust understanding of the technical terms used in linear algebra. In order for a learner to be successful in this camp, the learner has to already understand fairly well what the slope is, that m is the letter for it, that it's the rise over the run, and how the slope is presented in different variations of a linear equation. That's just the slope. We're expecting at the start of this class for the student to also understand intercept, ordered pairs, dependence, etc... These are all taught in Camp Boom 1 which can be found at this link: https://outschool.com/classes/camp-boom-1-or-linear-equation-basics-or-slopes-intercepts-variables-constants-or-summer-camp-fbmR7QiD#usjMLMcnyB.

I've been certified in the public schools for teaching math in middle and high schools. I received additional certified training for gifted and talented learners. I taught math for sixteen years and I've been a personal SAT tutor for seven years. My students have typically raised their scores between 100 and 300 points. As a chemical engineer and project management professional in the world of business consulting and information technology consulting, I've completed over five levels of college calculus and applied mathematics and used these math and computing skills throughout my career.
The students I have taught had varying learning abilities that ranged from one with pronounced learning disabilities to gifted and talented. When it came to PSAT's and SAT's, each of them with impressive improvements in their scores.
It can be done! I used a focused approach. We honed in on trouble areas, really understood the underlying math concept, and drilled for mastery.Reviews
