Homework Period 1:
1.) Make sure your book is covered by tomorrow.
2.) Notebook check (SEE NEXT BLOG POST!)
3.) Page 16 #3-18, skip #9 & 10

In periods 3, 4, & 5, we began using the distributive property to simplify expressions. We worked on our integer rules, and created a BRIGHT GREEN reminder graphic organizer on all of the integer rules to help us! We used the white boards to practice distributive property.

Homework Period 3 & 4:
1.) Notebook check (SEE NEXT BLOG POST!)
2.) Distributive property worksheet #1-30

Homework Period 5:
1.) Notebook check (SEE NEXT BLOG POST!)
2.) Distributive property worksheet #1-20

Weekend reminders!

Hi! 
Mathematical me cover page due on Tuesday! Make sure it is colored neatly and all work is shown for each problem! 

In each box of your cover page, you should have the question that the number you chose is answering, the equation you came up with, and any work needed to solve the equation.

You must also bring your 5-subject notebook, math folder, course guide, and hand print warm up from last week on Tuesday! 

Hope you're enjoying your long weekend!
