Hi All,

Reminder that you have a quiz tomorrow on linear systems. Both Pre-Algebra and Algebra students have a review sheet to practice.

**ALGEBRA STUDENTS: PROBLEMS # 4 and 5 ON YOUR REVIEW SHEET...SKIP THEM!!!

Hi!

We did not have our regular class today. We were in the computer lab today, and we did tutorials to prepare us for the Massachusetts PARCC exam taking place in March. Even though we did not have regular class, students still have homework, and their quiz is still scheduled for Friday.

Pre-Algebra: RED, YELLOW, or GREEN worksheet on Linear Combinations (Elimination) Method

Algebra: Page 417 # 1-10


Week of 2/10/14

Hi All!

There have been so many snow days, so my blog has fallen behind a little. Let's chat about this week!

In both Pre-Algebra and Algebra, we are solving systems of equations using 3 methods: Graphing, Substitution, and Elimination (linear combinations).

Remember, in order to graph, both equations must be in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b). The solution to the system on your graph will be where the 2 lines intersect.

I posted videos in the "Resources section" to help with the Substitution and Elimination method.

Both classes have a quiz on Friday on the three ways to solve linear systems. I will be after school Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday for extra help, and would encourage students to stay!
