The Rest of the 2nd Quarter

We're getting close to wrapping up our unit on literal equations, although we will be practicing and using them all year. So what's after that, you ask? 

These topics:

Opposites & Reciprocals

The Real Number System

Number Properties

Algebraic Proofs

Inequalities

The Coordinate Plane


 This should get us to the end of the 2nd quarter. 

Another Great Resource

If you need more help with equations (and who doesn't?)Algebra-Class.com is there to help.
Step-by-step guides, short videos--(all less than 5 minutes long and clearly written and explained) and practice questions with answers; it's all there.

Algebra-Class.com is a site that can help you throughout the year. Bookmark it now.


Toosday's Teeser

 This teaser may look difficult, but it's totally do-able. Multiplying fractions is easy; the rest is arithmetic.


But wait, there's more!!!


Since solving equations is so important in algebra (and geometry, and algebra II), the boss said we can double the extra credit points this week.

Take five minutes out of your incredibly busy life to work this one out and score some much needed extra credit.  "You'll be glad you did."

Class Summary: November 16, 2015

Today we begin a new unit and a new type of equation to solve. We will be solving literal equations--equations with more than one variable in them. Class work 2.3 was distributed today and is due  Wednesday, November 18.

If you were absent this day, or just want to review, check the presentation below. A copy of class work 2.3 can be found here.

Tuesday's Translation Teaser



Today's teaser tests your knowledge of translating and writing equations. As is the norm, personally deliver or  email your solution before the end of this week to receive your 10 bonus points.

Here's the teaser:

 If $15.20 is divided among Andrew, Joseph, and Samantha so that Joseph has one more dollar than Andrew and Samantha has $2.70 more than Joseph, how much does each individual receive?

Good Luck!
