Introduction

Module by: Kenny M. Felder. E-mail the author

Summary: Introduction to Chapter 2 of Felder's Algebra 2 Teacher's Guide.

I like to have this unit early in the year, because it introduces another of my main themes: some of these problems require you to think. There is almost no “mechanical” way to solve them. I want to set up that expectation early.

Of course, this is really two very different topics, and both of them contain an element of review as well as some new material. But by the time we get to combining them in problems like 2 | 3 x + 4 | < 7 2|3x+4|<7, it is new to everybody. Those problems are harder than you might suppose!
