Week 8 - Multi-Step Equations

Next Week
Next week will be a little bit unusual because I will be out of the classroom for two days.  Additionally, the second unit test will be administered on Friday of next week.  Below is a schedule so that you and your child can know what to expect.

Monday (10/10) - I will be out of the classroom. Students will work on reviewing a worksheet that reviews Unit 2 skills.
Tuesday (10/11) - We will practice one-step and two-step inequalities together.
Wednesday (10/12) - All John Muir Pre-Algebra teachers will be in a planning workshop. Students will take the Unit 2 Practice Test. They may use the notes from their math journal.
Thursday (10/13) - We will review the Practice Test together and play a review game because...
Friday (10/14) - Students will take Unit Test #2.


Pre-Algebra Announcements & Homework

This week, we will be applying the lessons from the last two weeks on two-step equations (2x + 3 = 5), combining like terms (5x + 8x + 7 = 13x + 7), and the distributive property (3[x - 5] = 3x - 15) together in multi-step equations that involve combining like terms and applying the distributive property (7x - 4[x - 5] + 12 = 35).

Homework for the week is as follows:

Monday (10/3): TB Pg. 126 #12-18 even
Tuesday (10/4): Distributive Property Equations Practice
Wednesday (10/5)
TB Pg. 132 #14-20 even
Thursday (10/6): Unit 2 Quiz 3 Practice Problems
Friday (10/7): Problem of the Week #7
