If you choose not to cover graphing linear equations and functions earlier as the new edition suggests, you can defer Chapters 3 and 4 and cover them later after either Chapter 6 or 7. Section 5.3 and the material on graphing and functions in Sections 6.1, 6.4, 6.6, and 7.5 can easily be delayed or omitted.
(Each chapter is followed by a Group Activity, Chapter Summary, Chapter Review Exercises, Chapter Test, and Cumulative Review Exercises (except Chapter 1.) The industry listed in the parentheses is the industry theme for that chapter.)
