Week of October 27 - 31st

Apologies for not posting last week!

Math 7 Honors: I will have the Morehouse group (M, W, F) and the Vassar group (T and Th). As always, there will be homework assigned (Yes...even on Halloween!) We have a test on Monday/Tuesday about Solving One-Step, Two-Step, and Multi-step equations as well as combining like terms. We continue our work with real world problems and how to write them algebraically. Stuff like...
"Jalani rents speakers for a party. He needs to leave a $100 deposit and pay $15 per hour that he rents them" Write an algebraic expression to describe the cost of the speaker rental. (Answer: 100 + 15h). We will also be graphing the equations.

Math 7: I will have the Harvard group (M, W, F) and the Columbia group (T and Th). As always, there will be homework assigned (Did you think that I wouldn't give it for the Halloween Weekend?..HA!). We have a quiz on adding integers, absolute value, and number lines on Monday/Tuesday. We will continue our work with subtraction of integers. This is probably one of the hardest things we will work on this year. If the scholars get this we will be golden. There is a video link for addition and subtraction of integers. There are also practice problems there. The only way to get good at them is to PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!
