Seats, Books, and Rollin'

6th: Today in class we assigned textbooks! Textbooks may be taken home or left in your desk as needed! You will need to have your book in class, so don't leave it at home! If you were absent today, you will find your textbook in your desk when you return! We also began our study of decimals today! We read p102-103 in your textbook and talked about how reading a math text is different than reading a novel or a newspaper, etc.
CW: p104 #15-43 odd and 46-47.
HW: Complete CW then use the back of the textbook to check your work. Be sure to write the correct answer for any problems you miss in a different color, then go back and check to see why you might have missed it. Be prepared to ask questions about this material on Wednesday!
8th - 2nd block: Today in class we reviewed how to read a math text and the concepts of "Squares and Square Roots" (Sections 3.1 and 3.2 in text) . Text books will not be assigned but can be checked out if necessary. Be sure to also try using the textbook website link to the right! We discussed inverse operations and how they are used to solve equations. No Homework!
7th: Today we began a study of proportional reasoning by introducing ratios, rates, and unit rates (Sections 7.1-7.2 in text). We will discuss applications of unit rates tomorrow. No homework.
8th - 4th Block: Today in class we reviewed how to read a math text and discussed the concepts of "Squares and Square Roots" (Sections 3.1 and 3.2 in text) . Text books will not be assigned but can be checked out if necessary. Be sure to also try using the textbook website link to the right!
