This week, we will be starting a new topic of systems of equations.  We will begin with solving systems by graphing.  Additionally, we will be reviewing how to solve multi-step equations.  We will also be taking the STAR (computer) test.

Systems of Equations by Graphing Packet

6th Grade
This week, we will be studying exponents.  We will also be reviewing other Unit 3 topics on expressions.

Homework:
Tuesday (1/7) - WB 1-2 (pg 2) #1-24
Wednesday (1/8) - More Exponents Practice WS (Due on Friday 1/10)

6th Grade Accelerated
This week, we will be reviewing one-step inequalities and graphing equations in slope-intercept form.  The new topics that we will cover are two-step inequalities and inequality word problems.  We will also practice inequalities with rational numbers.  Typically, students are given guided and independent practice in class and the homework is simply anything that they have not finished yet.  Students always have at least 30 minutes in class to begin their independent practice and ask questions.

Homework:
Tuesday (1/7) - One-Step Inequalities WS
Wednesday (1/8) - Two-Step Inequalities WS and WB 3-8 #1-10
