After the Break......
For all of you forward looking students, here's what's up after our return from Thanksgiving break:
Introduction to Inequalities
Resources to Help Along the Way
Text book, Chapter 6: Solving & Graphing Linear Inequalities
Many more examples, descriptions, and explanations
Videos:
Basics of Inequalities; Part I
Basics of Inequalities; Part II
How to Solve Linear Inequalities; Here
And, of course, there is the Khan Academy for videos and practice problems.
Complete 2nd Quarter Khan Academy Schedule
The weekly schedule for this quarter's Khan Academy is available to view or download. If you want finish ahead of schedule, or just practice before we get to the concept in class, the document is yours right here.

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:
This should get us to the end of the 2nd quarter.
These topics:
Opposites & Reciprocals
The Real Number System
Number Properties
Algebraic Proofs
Inequalities
The Coordinate Plane
Another Great Resource

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!!!
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."
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.

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!
