Hi All!
In Math class today, we worked on writing and solving equations from word problems. We will be completing a check-in during class tomorrow. This check-in does not count as a quiz; it is just an individual classwork assignment to see how you are doing with this unit. For homework, there is a review sheet on solving equations. I am reminding you that there is a back side, and that I am expecting #1-9 to be completed for tomorrow!
In Algebra 1 class today, we played a game to practice function form and solving formulas for variables. We also started our discussion on word problems. During class, we wrote equations for the 4 word problems. For homework, you must solve the 4 equations from the word problems. Reminder that your test for chapter 3 is on Thursday. I am available for extra help/review on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday this week!
WORD PROBLEM # 1: Two friends, John and Tim, are going on a trip. John left his house traveling at an average speed of 45 miles per hour. Tim arrived 2 hours after John and traveled at an average speed of 30 miles per hour. How long did it take each person to reach the college?
WORD PROBLEM #2:You and your friend decide to meet up for frozen yogurt. You live 8 miles apart. If you start to travel east at a rate of 4 miles per hour and your friend starts to travel west at 6 miles per hour, how long will it take for you to meet? verbal model: your distance + your friend's distance = total distance to travel.
WORD PROBLEM #3:You and your family are going away on vacation and decide to take two different cars. The first car travels at a rate of 40 miles per hour and reaches the vacation spot in t hours. The second car travels at a rate of 50 miles per hour and arrives at the vacation spot 2 hours earlier than the first car. How long does it take the first car to reach the vacation spot? How long does it take the second car to reach the vacation spot?
WORD PROBLEM #4:You and your friend decide to meet up to ride your bikes. You live 9 miles apart. If you travel west at a rate of 3 miles per hour and your friend travels east at a rate of 5 miles per hour, how long will it take for you to meet? Verbal model: your distance + your friend's distance = total distance to travel.

Resources Section Updated!
Hi! I know some of you were not in class today because of the field trip to the Voke. I posted videos under the resources sections for you to get a little bit of help on your homework/work from today. I am reminding students that they must see me if they missed my class today, but at least you will be able to look at some of what we did today in class. The video for Pre-Algebra would be "Clearing out the Fractions".

Hi All!
In math class today, we finished our discussion on solving equations involving decimals. We began discussing how to solve equations with fractions. We learned that to "clear out" the fractions, you must multiply the whole equation by the common denominator. Please check the resource section of the blog for a video that shows how to "clear out" the fractions. For homework, you must complete Page 305 #1, 2, 5, 6, 14, 15, 16. On the last blog post, I posted a picture of the page in the book, just in case you forgot your book at school! (I know...no need to thank me!!)
In Algebra class today, we finished our station work from yesterday on solving equations involving decimals. We also worked in pairs on some challenging word problems. We will be going over the word problems very quickly tomorrow, and the top two pairs in each class will get some bonus points on their Chapter 3 test! For homework, you must finish the station work from class today if you did not finish.

Hi All!
In math class today, we worked in stations to practice solving the multi-step equations we have been working on this week. We also had a station to do quiz corrections on the combining like terms and distributive property quiz that was taken on Wednesday. The corrections are officially due on Thursday of next week.
You will be having a test at the end of next week, either Thursday or Friday, depending on how next week goes. It will include combining like terms, distributive property, word problems, and solving equations.
In Algebra class today, you took a quiz on sections 3.1-3.4, which had you solving multi-step equations and solving a consecutive integer word problem.
No homework in either class! Have a fabulous weekend :)

Hi All!
In Math class today, we took a quiz on Distributive Property and Combining Like Terms. After that, we began our discussion on solving equations. We worked on 4 different types of equations that we could solve. We started the solving equations practice worksheet in class, and your homework tonight is to finish it!
In Algebra class today, we finished our discussion on the age and consecutive integer problems. We continued our work on solving equations with variables on both sides by doing an activity on the smart board with number cubes. We worked on the special cases for solving equations with variables on both sides. For homework, you must complete Page 157-158 #24-40 even, and 42-45 all. If you did not finish the classwork (Practice #1-6) in the notes packet from today, those must also be finished for homework. Reminder: I changed your quiz to Friday, instead of Thursday!

Many students came up to the smart board to try out the Halloween/Trick or Treating Activity. Then, you worked on the independent practice, and for homework you must finish it!
In Math, you will have a quiz on Wednesday of next week on your integer rules, combining like terms, and distributive property.
In Algebra class today, we had "FUN FRACTION DAY!", where we learned how to clear out fractions to make integers when solving equations. Although they were challenging, most students really got it by the end of class! For homework, you must finish the Fun Fraction Day sheet from class. I expect you to clear out the fractions, and to attempt to keep the fractions in!
For Algebra, you will have a quiz on Thursday/Friday of next week on sections 3.1-3.4

In Math class today, we began our discussion on combining like terms. We watched a video (On my blog in the resources section), and did an activity where you colored the like terms and then combined the like terms. For homework, you will complete the worksheet on combining like terms. There is a back side! USE YOUR NOTES TO HELP WITH VOCAB!
In Algebra class today, we continued to work on solving equations, only this time, they are more challenging! We did an activity where we walked around the room solving these challenging problems and checking our answers after! For homework, you are correcting any of the problems from last night that you got incorrect!

In Math class today, I handed back your test that you took on Thursday of last week. The test grades were a little lower than I expected, and it had to do with reading/following directions. To help make up for the lower test grades, I am allowing you to re-do the open responses and #9 from the test. That is your homework tonight. Everyone had something to improve upon for those questions, and it will help improve your grade on the test. Reminder that if your grade is below a 70% that it must be signed by parent/guardian.
During class, we worked on more order of operations using the integer rules from Friday. We also independent read. We will be moving on to combining like terms and Distributive Property for the remainder of the week!
In Algebra class today, a lot of you finished your Chapter 2 test from class on Friday. We started Chapter 3, and began solving equations in class today. A majority of this should be review from last year, with the exception of some of the more challenging Distributive Property ones and variables on both sides! For homework tonight, you will complete Page 148-149 #11-35 odd, and 37-43 all.
