Translate phone plans to algebraic expressions. Pupils review translating verbal phrases to algebraic expressions by filling out graphic organizers and completing matching activities. Using a fictitious cell phone company, they create expressions to represent the pricing structures for different plans. With pricing knowledge in hand, scholars determine the best plan for a two-year contract and devise a plan of their own.
