Apply basic rules of arithmetic to solve problems (both theoretical and practical in nature) involving integers, fractions and/or real numbers
Demonstrate use of the four basic inequalities to manipulate and solve simple problems.
Identify and plot points in the coordinate plane
Understand a function as something that takes a number as input and returns another number as output
Determine the slope and y-intercept of a linear relationship based on its equation
Plot the graph of a linear function
Determine the linear function corresponding to a given graph of a line in the coordinate plane
