=G.R.A.S.P.S= = = ( Feel free to copy and paste what you have on your wiki page for Dr. Grace.) Oral Presentation: attire, content, enthusiasm, preparedness, clearly spoken, eye contact. ||
 * Goal || Order as many burgers and slices of cheese that doesn't exceed the price limit. ||
 * Role || As a couple of high school students trying to make a little extra money, you need to figure out how many burgers and slices of cheese to order. ||
 * Audience || Owner of Bob's Country Market. ||
 * Setting || The two of you are working at the town's local market. The owner comes to you because he wants to branch out his market to now include a fast food section. He has given you the task of researching the cost of burgers and cheese slices from all the different beef companies. Each company has an intial fee and a different linear rate of how much they charge. The owner wants you find beef companies that will give the market the most burgers for the cheapest price. The same goes for cheese slices, along with the different types of cheese: cheddar, american, swiss; since the owner wants the customer to have a varitey of choices. ||
 * Presentation || An iMovie will be the product you use to present your findings. There will also be an oral presentation on your iMovie stating why you should order as much product as you do. ||
 * Standards || Product (iMovie) teamwork, research, concept, digital presence, length, graphs.

=Introduction= Linear Equations are one of mathematics simplest equations. However, they are used in everday life and in almost all situations. You are about to live a real life scenario where it will be up to you to figure out the answer. The big idea here is for you to be able to label and solve linear equations in the real world. Thus giving what we have done all year purpose. =Task= Being in high school is hard enough, throwing a job on top of that just makes life difficult. Now it just got worse. Your boss at Bob's Country Market just found out you had taken a course in linear equations and inequalities: where you learned how to solve linear equations and inequalites along with graphing them. He wants to do some research on hamburgers and different kinds of cheese. Why you ask? The owner wants to expand the market to now include a fast food section. He has given you the task of researching the cost of burgers and cheese slices from all the different beef and cheese companies. Each company has an intial fee and a different linear rate of how much they charge. The owner wants you find beef companies that will give the market the most burgers for the cheapest price. The same goes for cheese slices, along with the different types of cheese: cheddar, american, swiss; since the owner wants the customer to have a varitey of choices. He wants you to make a short 5-10 minute iMovie video on your findings; consequently, he is going on vacation just when the paychecks are suppose to come out and he will not be around when you finish your research. The iMovies will give him something to watch on the plane ride down to Jamaica. When he comes back, he wants an oral presentation of what you believe would be the best choice for the market. Both of these should include terms, definitions, and methods for solving linear equations and inequalities, including graphs, you have learned. SO don't just sit there, get to work; because did he mention your jobs are riding on this?

=Conclusion= I hope you have enjoyed this webquest assignment. The goal was for you to take the information given and be able to solve the equations to find the best beef and cheese companies. The big idea of applying linear equations should be clear now, and you should be able to identify linear equations in any other real life situtations.
