Finally back in class after a Thanksgiving break that was enjoyable and jury duty that was not so much!
For any parents that had any confusion, there was no homework last week, due to our work on an in-class project. Yesterday, the substitute asked students (via my lesson plan) to work on an assignment to be turned in today.
Today's homework and class info will be posted a bit later on!

Project Time!
Today, students will be receiving instructions for their first math project. The project will ask students to create a small booklet (using index cards) that details the various properties/identities we have learned in class. This will be a 25 point project (the same point total as the last unit test), so it is a great opportunity for students to improve their grades in the class. Please email me with any questions!

Internet Problems, Etc. (10/14)
Sorry for the late post; the internet was not working at school this morning.
But we press on!
Yesterday, we started talking about integers and absolute values. These will be important to know, as we progress on to more complex expressions.
The homework for periods 1 and 2 was to copy and find definitions for the 9 vocab words on page 104.
For periods 5 and 6: p. 107-109 # 24-26, 30-38, 43-46, 49-54, 70-73
Today, we discussed adding integers using a number line. This is a process that requires students to move left or right over a basic number line (with zero at the center), depending on the sign of the number being added (positive or negative).
Periods 1 and 2 hw: p.107-109 #18-26.....p. 112-113 # 13-28
Periods 5 and 6 hw: p.112-113 #18-32

Unit Test Study Guide
The following information will be on the unit test:
- reading tables and graphs (1.1)
- knowing the basic components of an expression (1.2)
- evaluating (solving) powers and exponents (1.3)
- order of operations/PEMDAS (1.4)
- finding and using formulas (1.5)
- the commutative and associative properties (1.7)
- the distributive property (the rainbow) (1.8)
- translating verbal phrases and sentences into algebraic expressions (2.1 and 2.4)
- COMBINING LIKE TERMS (2.2)
- Addition/Subtraction/Multiplication/Division Properties of Equality (2.5 and 2.6)
- Solving Inequalities (2.8)
In addition to the worksheet given for homework, students are also encouraged to read over each section and to review the chapter study guides (p. 42-45 for chapter 1 and p. 94-97 for chapter 2).
Good luck and please email me with ANY questions!
Wednesday (10/8)
Today, all classes will be learning section 2.8 of the book ("solving inequalities"). An inequality is similar to an equality, but instead of an = sign, we use >, <, etc. Solving an inequality actually requires the same steps as solving an equality (using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division properties of equality).
Tonight's HW will be a worksheet that includes inequalities as well as material for Friday's first unit test.
Check back for a study guide for the test!

Good luck (and start studying!)
Good luck (and start studying!)
Tuesday (10/7)
Periods 1 and 2:
Today, we are going to start to look at how we can solve equations using the multiplication and division properties of equality. These are very similar to the addition and subtraction properties; we can use the INVERSE OPERATIONS to find x. For example, if we have 5x = 15, we simply DIVIDE both sides by 5 to solve for x. Think of our scale example. We still do the same thing to both sides of the equation!
HW: p. 74-77 #15-29 odd, p. 82-84 #10-30 even
Periods 5 and 6:
Today we are going to review the information from yesterday. I want to make sure we understand all four properties of equality. They are the backbone of most algebra from here on out. The HW will be a worksheet.

Tomorrow's Quiz
Some helpful hints:
You can only combine terms that have "the same last name" - for example x and 2x, 3y and y...
You can't combine terms like x and y or x and x squared!
Memorize your operation terms: sum, quotient, product, difference.
If it says 8 fewer than a number, it is X - 8 (not the other way around).
Always check your answer.
Good luck tomorrow!!!

Wrapping Up the Week
First of all, thank you to all the parents who came to back to school night! It was nice to meet all of you!
As for the material this week, the bulk of the notes and work focused on "combining like terms." This is a concept that is VERY important as we progress through the course, so please ask questions if you have any!
Today (a minimum day!) will be a brief review of the week's topics followed by Quiz #3. There is no homework this weekend, unless you want to get started on next week's material....

Hints for Tomorrow's Quiz
- Sections 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.7 and 1.8 will all be covered on the quiz.
- Be very careful to look at the units of measurement (i.e. thousands, inches, etc.).
- Take your time and CHECK ALL OF YOUR WORK
- Remember that an exponent simply tells you the number of times that the base will be a factor.
- Good luck!!!

Notes from 9/16
Since a few of you were absent for a school-related field trip, I am going to go ahead and post the notes from yesterday (9/16)
...
The Commutative and Associative Properties (1.7)
...
The commutative property of addition states: in a sum, you can add terms in any order.
a + b = b + a
6 + 7 = 7 + 6
...
The commutative property of multiplication states: in a product, you can multiply factors in any orer.
ab = ba
6 x 7 = 7 x 6
...
The associative property of addition states: changing the grouping of terms will not change the sum.
(a + b) + c = a + (b + c)
(9 + 5) + 6 = 9 + (5 + 6)
...
The associative property of multiplication states: changing the grouping of factors will not change the product.
(ab)c = a(bc)
(5 x 7) x 6 = 5 x (7 x 6)
...
Things to remember:
- an equation can show both the associative and commutative properties
- when the numbers SWITCH THEIR ORDER, the commutative property is usually at work
- when the numbers INSIDE THE PARANTHESES CHANGE, the associative property is usually at work
- these properties only work for ADDITION and MULTIPLICATION, and only when these are the only operations being used
...

Good luck!
