SIXTH GRADE MATH

On Friday, the class continued working on metric conversions. If you are still confused, watch the video from Thursday. Continue working on the same paper - p423 #15-23.

 

SEVENTH GRADE MATH

Review of multiplying decimals. p16 #11-28. Do not estimate...just find the products.

SEVENTH GRADE GEOGRAPHY

The class took a test on Friday. No homework!

 

PRE-ALGEBRA

The class began unit 2 over equations by learning about terms. The assignment is p268, #7-21. Remember, terms are alike and can be combined if they have the exact same variable(s). You combine them by adding or subtracting their numerical coefficients. For example:

3x + 5x - 7x = 1x or x because they all have just an "x" and 3 + 5 - 7 = 1

For the second set, #23 - 28, you will have more than one term in the answer because they aren't all like terms. For example:

5x - 7y + 2y - 2x

First, you would combine the terms with "x". 5x - 2x = 3x

Then, you combine the terms with "y". -7y + 2y = -5y

So the final answer is 3x - 5y

Remember, the sign in front of the term goes with it. So, the 7y has a minus sign, so you can think of it as a negative 7y.

Here is another example:

3b + 5 - b - 9

First, combine the terms with "b". 3b - b is the same as 3b - 1b = 2b

Then combine the constant terms (when a number doesn't have a variable, it's "constant"): 5 - 9 = -4

So, your answer is 2b - 4. You could also write this as 2b + -4. It's the same thing.

ALGEBRA I

You are continuing with word problems with equations. I do not have my book or the numbers written down. If you have a question, please email me!

See you tomorrow,
