6th Grade Announcements & Homework
This week, we will be studying expressions, exponents, and order of operations.  We try to avoid using the acronym PEMDAS because it leads students to believe incorrectly that multiplication always comes before division and addition always comes before subtractions.

Homework for the week is as follows:
Monday (8/30): WB 1-2 #1-19 odd
Wednesday (9/1): WB 1-5 #5-19 odd
Thursday (9/2): Quiz 2 Practice Problems
Friday (9/3): No HW (Quiz 2: Exponents, Expressions, & Order of Operations today)

Pre-Algebra Announcements & Homework
This week, we will be completing our review of integers by multiplying and dividing positive and negative integers and solving one-step equations with positive and negative integers.  We will have a quiz on Thursday that covers all of chapter 1.

Homework for the week is as follows:
Tuesday (8/31): TB Pg. 39 #33-42
Wednesday (9/1): Quiz 2 Practice Problems
Thursday (9/2): Quiz 1 Re-work
Friday (3/3): WB Pg. 6 #25-34
