Chapter 6 Solving ONE- STEP Equations! Algebra

Good morning girls and boys, 

Welcome back from your winter break.  I hope it met each and everyone's expectations! I know that you are rested and really to roll! 

We are in Chapter 6 and this is the first time we are seeing EQUATIONS!  So if it starts as equation, it ends as an equation!  This is where the real fun begins in Algebra.  We will be starting by solving addition and subtraction problems and I find that you will be naturals at this.  As always, the examples will start out simple, so learn how to format the problems on these so that when the problems become difficult, you have a plan on how to solve it.  The vocabulary for this lesson is the same as the other chapter- variables, constants and coefficients.  Make sure you understand these and how to find them.  

Hint: Refer back to the previous chapter.  In addition: We will be having a POP QUIZ on negative numbers!!!

Here is Megan's brother ginny pig, Gus.  He's the black and white one! The other one is a imposter! 

Homework: Read the blog, watch the videos and take notes in your graphic organizers.

Chapter 5.8 FACTOR Linear Expressions

Good day to all of you,

Today we are on our last lesson and you know what that means right?  The test will be in the near future so ask any questions you have soon.  

The lesson is on FACTORING.  Factoring is actually UNDOING the distributive property.  With all processes in math, you need to be able to do it and then undo it !!!   You know a factor is best described with this -  8 has the factors of 2 and 4; 12 has the factors of 2,3,4,6  and so on,  Go through the video examples and the books examples as well. 

This is baby Ruby.  This little baby belongs to Grace. Ruby is now 1 year old. Be still my heart. 

Homework: Read the blog, watch the videos and take notes in the graphic organizer.
