Week 7 - Properties

Grades
As you know, Friday was the last day of the grading period.  Since many students had a bit of a wake-up call from the grade check that I sent home the week before, I received a great deal of make up work and quiz re-dos to grade.  Thank you for your patience as I tried to get those done as quickly as possible, while still doing my regular workload of preparing lessons.  The window for teachers to upload grades ends on Tuesday, so all of the work I have received by Friday will make it into the first progress report.

Pre-Algebra Announcements & Homework
This week, we will be studying the different properties of math (associative, commutative, distributive, and identities).  Additionally, we will be preparing for multi-step equations by introducing the concept of combining like terms (3x - 10 - 5x + 7 = -2x - 3).

Homework for the week is as follows:
Monday (9/25): TB Pg. 118 #30-33
Wednesday (9/27): WB 3-2 #1, 2, 11, 12, 15
Friday (9/29): Problem of the Week #6
