Week of 9/6/11 - 9/9/11
The concepts we will be learning are the Applications of Commutative & Associative Properites Benchmark - (MA.6.3.5). The review of this concept is important for present as well as future math understanding in working with Algebraic Expressions.
Chapter 1, Lesson 3 - Practice A & B.
Homework 9-6-11 - Concept review -Pg. 16
Homework 9-7-11 - Practicing using the corresponding properties with expressions- Odd/Even number only - varies per period.
We will be reviewing this skill daily to gain a better understanding of the various Algebraic expressions used with the various properties.
_District Math Assessment on Thursday - 9/8 & Friday 9/9...
Week of 9/12/11
We will be working in Chapter 2, Lesson 2, as we discover how to use Distributive Property with Intergers!'
The class will work on page 73-76, which will entail vocabulary and applying this concept with negative and positive integers. GREAT STUFF!!
(9/12/11) H.W- Practice workbook page 12/ Great practice on how to use Distributive Properties in numeratical and algebraic expressions.
HW -Tuesday (9-13-11) - Puzzle-Time to review the concepts of integers- Small Group Assessment to collaborate and answer the questions with a higher order of thinking!!
