Sixth Grade
Lesson 37 - Adding and subtracting decimals. The most important thing to remember with adding and subtracting decimals is to line up the decimal points! It's okay if the numbers aren't lined up on the right edge. Also, remember to carry any numbers into the next column.

*******DON'T FORGET YOUR PERMISSION SLIPS**************************
If you don't have your permission slip and money for the field trip on November 24th by tomorrow, you will not be able to go as I will not reserve a place for you! I want everyone to go so please remember.
Spelling - Unit 12. This is a unit review. Work the first two pages tonight.
Grammar - pp. 320-324. Exercise B and DWS. Please follow directions carefully!
Literature - Read Chapter 12 of Treasure Island and complete the Part II questions from the worksheet.
Math - Lesson 3-4, #2-20. You solve the addition or subtraction inequalities the exact same way that you solve equations. For the first page, you have to write the solution as a solution set. For example, if your answer was: x > -4, you would write the solution set as:
S={all the numbers greater than -4}
If your answer was: 7 < s="{all"> 7.
Eighth Grade
Lesson 3-2, #2-15 ALL and worksheet pages 24 & 26 EVENS ONLY. Today, we worked on simplifying expressions by combining like terms. Remember, you cannot combine terms that do not have the exact same variables. Also, on the side of the worksheet with subtraction between the parentheses, remember to distribute the negative sign to all the terms in the second parentheses. For example: (4xy + 3x - 2y) - (2xy + 5x - 7y)
First, you need to write the problem, distributing the negative sign across the second parentheses. So, you would have 4xy + 3x -2y - 2xy - 5x + 7y. Nothing in the first parenthesis changed, but the sign of each term in the second parenthesis did change. Now you can combine like terms. Remember to use the sign that is in front of each term. So, 4xy - 2xy = 2xy; 3x - 5x = -2x; -2y + 7y = 5y; so the answer is 2xy - 2x + 5y.
In the book, for the first section, remember to write three columns. # of terms, coefficients, and constant terms. For the first column, just write how many terms are in the expression, in the second column, identify the numerical coefficients of each variable, and in the constant column, write any constant terms - that is, numbers that do not have their own variables.
See you all tomorrow!
