Friday, 1/29/16: Preparing for Unit 3 Test Review on Equations and Systems

Our next test is on solving equations in one variable and systems, and it is Wednesday, 2/3.  The material on it:

• equations (Lessons 7-1, 7-2, 7-3, and 7-4)
• solving systems by substitution (Lesson 8-2)
• solving systems by elimination (Lessons 8-3 through 8-5)

Additionally, Lesson 8-1 should be reviewed, because that involved graphing and set the stage for solving by substitution and elimination.  (We used an excellent worksheet instead of the text for graphing, but the lesson details that aspect.)

I will be available after school next Monday, 2/1, from 3:00 - 3:30.  (I'm also available Wednesday, 2/3 from 3:00 - 3:30, but by that time I won't be able to help students as the test is earlier that day.)  Normally I'm available from when the school day ends until 3:30 every Monday and Wednesday, but I do have fifteen-minutes of after-school duty each day for the week of 2/1.

Today students were given a practice version of this test.  For this weekend's homework, students need to do problems 1-8 of this practice.
