Mrs. Burford = posting on time today!!

6th: Remember to review yourself on LCM, GCF, simplifying fractions and changing from improper to mixed and back from Chapter 5 in your text book, or with the textbook website. Let me know if you need help with this material!! Today in class we talked about how to add and subtract fractions that are not "like" by finding a Least Common Denominator. Tomorrow we will continue to practice this and delve into Mixed Numbers. No HW tonight.
7th: Today in class we reviewed adding and subtracting integers again and learned how to do integers on our calculator. We also talked about how a calculator can be a crutch and needs to be used sparingly for something like integers. Students should ONLY be using their calculators to check their work with integers. We also took notes and began to practice multiplying and dividing integers. We will have a quiz on basic operations with integers on Friday.
8th-2nd block: Student received their graded quizzes from yesterday and we went over the correct answers together in class. We began a lesson on multiplying polynomials. 
 8th-4th block: Student received their graded quizzes from yesterday and we went over the correct answers together in class. Students are encouraged to practice more with simplifying polynomials either by checking out a text book to take home, or by using the links below.
