Periods 1/2 and 3/4: Last week we finished up how to add integers using a number line with a focus on additive inverses. Yesterday students learned rules on how to find the sum of integers without using a number line. Today students practiced and applied those rules to rational numbers as well. We will continue practicing on adding rational numbers without using a number line for the rest of this week. Next week we will begin our lesson on how to subtract integers and rational numbers.
Period 8: Yesterday students learned how to order and compare numbers that are written in scientific notation. The key rule was to look at the exponents. Today they took a quick check on ordering and comparing as well as learn how to multiply numbers written in scientific notation. Tomorrow we will practice multiplication as well as division. We will practice and apply this skill for the remainder of the week. REMINDER: scientific notation project due October 13th!
Period 9: Students are working on solving one step equations involving all four operations. We will continue to work on this for the remainder of the week. Other topics that will be covered in their math class and reinforced in my class are simplifying expressions and the distributive property along with solving two step equations.
