What’s Goin’ On In Room 133

Colleagues, looks like we had a good review today. 

We covered – and recovered! – knowledge of Properties (Commutative & Associative for multiplication and addition, Identity & Inverse for multiplication and addition, multiplicative property of Zero, and last, but not least…the Distributive Property). 

Then we did a review of our Equations (that’s the two sheets of orange paper with 20 questions on it, sports fans.  Give it a look if you haven’t yet!).  And some of you even received the more comprehensive review packet that starts with the Order of Operations on the front and ends with Equations and Inequalities on the back.   That packet packs quite a punch (try saying that 3 times fast!). 

To help you get ready, spend some time looking over the notes in the review packet and answering some (or all) of the questions in each section.  If you did not get the review packet in your period that means that you have plenty to do with the worksheets you have (above), and the links from this blog to the different sites that we went over in class this week. 

Work on the parts that give you the most trouble so that you’re prepared for anything that comes.  (And that includes doing my online Hot Quiz, baby! – see the post below!)  —Kudos to Sophia, Chrishaun, Olivia, Christina, and Kandace for being the first ones to send in your quiz!  And one other person who got 100% on 20 questions, but failed to give me their name – oh, dear!

On Monday, we will look at Order of Ops, making sense out of verbal expressions in math and then we will dive into reading and analyzing math word problems (the ones you did on page 153, Math 7 colleagues.  And you Enriched Math folks – yours is on page 125). 

Take the time to prepare, Colleagues – it does a body good !
