Linear Programming
This site is a developed lesson plan for showing the uses of a system of linear inequalities that has a real-world correlation. The lesson plan includes powerpoints and pdf's for notes, practice, and assessments. This resource connects well with a follow-up lesson at http://teachers.henrico.k12.va.us/math/HCPSAlgebra2/3-6.htm. There are a small number of application problems, but they could be adjusted or modified to create many others. One limitation to the given problems is that minimum values are not really discussed.
