We are now off and rolling on the 2nd Quarter of school. Can you believe it? If we blink our eyes it will be Christmas. This new quarter is a great chance for everyone to have a fresh start and review our expectations for this class. I have posted them on the right side of this blog for those of you who can't find your yellow sheet from the beginning of school! Please take time at home to review them as well.
6th: Today in class we covered a load of new material in a short time, we will be discussing it more as the week goes on. We talked about ratios, rates, and unit rates. Students have HW on page 382 in thier textbook #12-23 and 26-28. They are allowed to check the odds in the back after they have completed it. Tomorrow we will look at how unit rates are used in comparative shopping, then move into using proportions.
7th: Today in class in we played a game to see how many Key Words we could come up with that mean add, subtract, multiply, divide, and equal. Students do not have HW but will have a Quiz Wednesday. Tomorrow we will apply today's lesson by writing english sentances in algebraic form.
8th - 2nd Block: Today in class we did guided notes on Solving Equations with Variables on Both Sides. Students were to complete the three practice problems on the back of that sheet for HW.
