Dear Maverick Math Student; Entering Algebra 1 Summer Assignment June 2012
Research has found that students who periodically refresh their “math inventory” over the summer enter the fall school year with improved skills and a firmer command of the concepts. With this in mind, your optional but suggested summer assignment is attached. Mathematics requires good work habits, a willingness to think, and a good background of accumulated skills. It is necessary to “hit the ground running” immediately with this refresher material firmly fixed in your brain.
If you need resource materials, your old notebooks and workbooks are the best references. Websites are also available to help you recall important ideas. A calculator is a wonderful tool, but there is no substitute for good math skills. This assignment should be completed without a calculator (unless the problem is marked “with calculator”. Additional copies of this review packet can also be printed from Smart’s Mill Middle School website (in pdf form).
Have a restful summer. I hope you have an exciting 2012-2013 school year!

Lesson 1:
1.1: Evaluating Expressions and 1.2:
A variable is a letter used to represent one or more numbers. The numbers are the values of the variable. An algebraic expression , or also known as a variable expression, consists of numbers, variables, and operations – but NO equality symbol!
A power is an expression that represents repeated multiplication of the same factor. For example – 81 is a power of 3 because 81 = 3 i3 3 i3. You can also write it as 34, where 3 is the base and 4 is the exponent or power. i
Practice Problems:

1.2: Apply Order of Operations
P(lease) E(xcuse) M(y) D(ear) A(unt) S(ally)
P stands for parenthesis – evaluate expressions inside any grouping symbols E stands for exponents – evaluate powers M and D stand for – multiply and divide from left to right A and S stand for – add and subtract from left to right. Example: Evaluate 2[30 – (8 + 13)] – 2(30 – 21) = 2[30 – 21] – 2(30 – 21) Don’t perform too many operations at once! = 2(9) – 2(30 – 21) = 2(9) – 2(9) = 0 Practice Problems: Evaluate the expression.

1.3: Write Expressions
Translating Verbal Phrases Operation Verbal Phrase Expression
ADD: sum, plus, total, more than, increased by
The sum of 3 and a number 3 + x 10 more than a number x + 10
SUBTRACT: difference, less than, minus, decreased by
The difference of a number and 6 x – 6 5 less than a number x – 5 (CHANGES ORDER!!!!!)
MULTIPLY: times, product, multiplied by, of
12 of a number
12x
The product of 3 and a number 3x DIVISION: quotient, divided by, divide into
The quotient of a number and 2 x2
The quotient of 2 and a number 2x
GROUPING SYMOLS: quantity The product of a quantity 10 plus a number x and 2
2(10 + x)
Order is important when writing subtraction and division expressions! Unit Rates: A rate is a fraction that compares two quantities measured in different units. If the denominator of the fraction is 1, the rate is called a unit rate.
Example: A 16‐oz box of cereal costs $2.99. Find the unit rate. 2.9916 oz
= $0.19 per oz.
Practice Problems: Translate the verbal phrase into an expression. 1) 9 more than a number ___________ 2) The product of 6 and a number ___________ 3) The difference of 7 and a number __________ 4) The quotient of twice a number t and 12 __________ 5) Three less than the square of a number __________ 6) Seven less than twice a number __________ 7) The product of 15 and the quantity of 12 more than a number x __________ 8) Twice the quotient of 50 and the sum of a number y and 8 ________ Find the unit rate. 9) 32 students in 4 groups ___________________________ 10) 4.5 pints for 3 servings ______________________ 11) 12 runs in 5 innings _____________________________ 12) $136 for 20 shares _________________________

Lesson 4: 1.6: Represent Functions as Rules and Tables
A function consists of
• a set called the domain containing numbers called inputs (also called the independent variable), and a set called the range containing numbers called outputs (also called the dependent variable).
• A pairing of inputs with outputs such that each input is paired with exactly one output.
In a function, every x value can be paired with one and only one y value.
Input 3 6 9 12 Output 1 2 2 1
Is an example of a function
Input 2 2 4 7 Output 0 1 2 3
Is not a function
Examples:
Identify the domain and range, and determine whether the pairing is a function or not.

Input Output 0 7.5 1 9.5 2 11.5 3 13.5
4) The domain of the function y = 5x ‐1 is 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Find the range.
5) The domain of the function 1
y x2
= + 3 is 4, 6, 9, and 10. Find the range.
6) Write the rule for the function:
Input 0 1 2 3 Output 2.2 3.2 4.2 5.2
7) At a yard sale, you find 5 paperback books by your favorite author. Each book is priced at $0.75.
a) For each book you buy, you spend $0.75, so _______ is a function of _____________.
b) Write a rule for the amount of money (in dollars) you spend as a function of the number of books you buy.
c) Find the domain of the function.
d) Find the range of the function.
