SIXTH GRADE

Today's homework is more practice with subtracting mixed numbers. Remember to first find a common denominator and make equivalent fractions. If you can't subtract the numerators, borrow from the top whole number. The new numerator for the top fraction will be the denominator PLUS the numerator. Then subtract. Don't forget to simplify if you can!

SEVENTH GRADE

The class played a math game today. No homework!

SEVENTH GRADE PRE-ALGEBRA

x and y intercepts. Remember, to find the x intercept, plug 0 in for y in the equation and solve for x. To find the y intercept, plug 0 in for x and solve for y. The last two problems have a couple of easy fractions. If you are stuck on those, I will help you in class tomorrow.

EIGHTH GRADE PRE-ALGEBRA

We worked on an in class activity today. No homework!

ALGEBRA I

Multiplying Polynomials. page 327 #10-42. On #10-20, you are just using distributive property because you are multiplying a monomial by a polynomial. On #22-34, you will use a box divided into four squares. On #36, follow directions. For #38-42, you will use a box divided into six squares. Write the trinomial across the top (3 columns) and the binomial on the left (2 rows). Don't forget to combine like terms!

Let me know if you need video examples.

See you tomorrow!
