Algebra is turning this week to solving systems of equations. In a lot of ways, this is one of the most important conceptual moments in all of high school mathematics. Before now, 'solving' took place in the context of a special (single-variable) case, and it's hard to visualize what a solution 'set' looks like when it only has one element. Systems really give a window into the more general nature of what we do when we solve, and provide the first real opportunity to test a lot of the abstraction that we've been practicing.

Stats will continue readying our data, and also have my favorite discussion of the year, "Why do people make such horrible graphs?".
