Welcome back, students and parents. Happy New Year!!
We are starting second semester with solving mult-step equations in one variable. While the students have seen most of this last year, there was critical foundational work that I needed to use today's short class time to establish. (These topics were expressions vs. sentences, distributive property, and the idea of an equation being an expression equal to an expression.)
I distributed a photocopy, "Multi-Step Equations," to the students today. I did not feel that they had adequate preparation to complete problems from this yet, so no formal homework is assigned for tonight. However, tomorrow's homework, due Thursday, is problems 7-11 from this photocopy. Having laid the foundation today, the students will be in good shape for this tomorrow night. Additionally, when we've had even more time to review the homework the next day, I'll be assigning far more practice.
