Magnificent Monday

6th: Today we discussed the use of GCF to simplify fractions. We also talked about relatively prime numbers and how a simplified fraction has numerator and denominator that are relatively prime to each other. We then discussed adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators. For practice we did p230 #17-24, 27, and 28 in our text books. We will go over these problems tomorrow and talk about what to do if the denominators of fractions are not alike.
7th: Today in class we reviewed the order of operations then did a lesson on Adding and Subtracting Integers. Remember to think of Integers in a real life setting when combining them. For HW you should complete the integer worksheet. http://www.edhelper.com/math/integers3.htm
8th - 2nd Block: Today we reviewed adding and subtracting polynomials using the worksheets http://www.edhelper.com/polynomials2.htm and http://www.edhelper.com/polynomials3.htm We will have a quiz tomorrow!
8th - 4th block: Today we continued with simplifying and classifying polynomials. We used the worksheet http://www.edhelper.com/polynomials1.htm to practice classifying and http://www.edhelper.com/math/beginning_algebra4.htm to practice combining like terms. Student should finish the odds on the Combining Like Terms sheet for HW.
