Hi All!
In Green class, we continued to discuss the word problems we were working on yesterday. We then started our discussion variables on both sides. We started with a word problem, so that you could see the real life application that these equations actually have. We started our notes on solving equations with variables on both sides, and will finish them up on Monday! You do not have homework this weekend! Enjoy!
Reminder/Update: Quiz is Wednesday!
In Purple, Red, and Blue class, we continued to use distributive property and combining like terms to solve multi-step equations. We finished our notes, and then worked on stations to separate all of the different types of equations we have been working on. We will continue these stations on Monday. There is no homework this weekend! Enjoy!

Homework
Hi All!
In Green class, we are working on translating words into equations. These are NOT easy, but we are working hard to figure them out. We completed our first check-in (graded classwork assignment)on solving multi-step equations. We spent some time going over homework from last night, and then started working on more word problems. For homework, spend 20 minutes on your word problems from class. Please do not spend 20 minutes working on the same problem, or staring at the same problem saying, "I do not get it!" Move on and attempt to do as many as you can in 20 minutes.
In Purple, Red, and Blue class, we are working on solving multi-step equations. We reviewed combining like terms and distributive property today. We completed our first graded classwork assignment on solving one and two step equations. For homework, complete the solving equations "RED" sheet.
GREEN CLASS: QUIZ WEDNESDAY 9/13
PURPLE, RED, BLUE CLASS: QUIZ TUESDAY 9/12

Homework and Updates!
Hi All!
In Green class today, we began to solve real life problems involving distributive property and combining like terms. We worked in our groups on some of these challenging problems. For homework, complete Page 16-17 #29-36, 40, 41, 44
In Red, Blue, and Purple class today, we used inverse operations to solve 2-step equations. We created our notes, that will definitely help on the homework. The homework tonight is broken into 4 sections, just like our notes! Use the notes to help you! Homework is entitled, "Solving Equations Practice". Section 4 problem #4, the answer is a whole number, not a fraction! Sorry!

Welcome Back!
Hi! I hope you all enjoyed the long weekend. I know I did! :) Here is what went on in class today, and what you have for homework!
In Green Class, we solved multi-step equations involving the distributive property and combining like terms. For homework, complete page 16 #4-14 even, 18-24 even, and 27.
In Purple, Red, and Blue Class, we used the properties of equality to solve one step equations. For homework, complete 1.1 Practice A #1-14 all on a separate piece of paper.

Yay! Long Weekend!
Hi All!
Today, we set up our interactive notebooks for the year. This is a 5-subject notebook! There were some students who did not set them up because they didn't have them today. Please set it up over the weekend! Email me with questions: april.eringis@tyngsboroughps.org. I am so excited to get things rolling!
In Green class, we started solving one step equations today. We reviewed homework, and began taking notes on multi-step equations. For homework, make sure you cover your text book!
In Purple, Red, and Blue class, we reviewed integer rules. We practiced on our white boards. You do not have any homework.
I hope you had a fabulous first week of your 8th grade year! Please enjoy the long weekend. Spend time with friends and family! Do something fun to share with me on Tuesday! :)

Updates and Homework
Hi All!
Today, we worked together in groups to complete the 100 math task. We discussed what it takes to work in a group successfully. We went over the syllabus and expectations of math class for this school year.
Reminder: tomorrow we will be putting together our interactive notebooks. You must bring your 5 subject notebook and your math folder to math class tomorrow.
Homework:
Green Class: Page 8 #5-13 odd, 15 & 16, 17-29 odd. Make sure you color your cover page for tomorrow, too!
Purple, Red, and Blue Classes: color your cover page for tomorrow.

Welcome Back!
Hi All!
Welcome back to school for the 2017-2018 school year. I am so excited to get started. Today, we discussed how failure and success are related. We did a group activity involving matching famous people with their failures. We then talked about perseverance, and the powerful word "YET!"
For homework tonight, please read the course guide and information page. Show your parents the course guide and the growth mindset handout. Please sign the course guide, and have your parents sign the course guide, letting me know that you all read it!
Reminder: Supplies for my class, including a math folder designated ONLY for math, and your 5 subject notebook, are due on Thursday so that we can set up our notebooks!
Enjoy!
