Took chapter 2 TEST today. No ho Warmed up with multiplying & dividing variable expressions (including canceling variables and exponents). Discussed and practiced multiplication using the distributive property.
Assignment: page 103, #5, 7, 9, 25-45 odds Reviewed homework and warmed up with multiplying & dividing real numbers/variable expressions. Worked through "relay races" involving collaborative effort multiplying/dividing/simplifying numerical & variable expressions, then individual effort.
Assignment: variable expression multiplication/division handout Warmed up with real number multiplication, then took notes and practiced with multiplication and division of variable expressions, focusing on cross-reducing and canceling variables and exponents.
Assignment: 2.5 worksheet #1-33 odds, and 2.7 worksheet #1-29 odds Warmed up with chapters 2.1 - 2.4 quiz review problems, discussing the "addition & subtraction song". Took quiz, and finished class with practice on real number division (really just multiplication) involving variable expressions (emphasizing vocabulary: coefficients and constants).
Assignment: page 111, #32-47, and 52 & 56 Warmup and did homework review with multiplication of real #'s and evaluating expressions. Backtracked to chapter 2-6 to cover the Distributive Property. Practiced on whiteboards, making sure to watch for when/how to use coefficients, variables with exponents, variables without exponents, and constants.
Assignment: page 103, #25-40 Warmed up with addition/subtraction of real numbers and a probability question (deck of cards). Reviewed homework (matrices), and discussed division of real numbers (copy/switch/flip to make it multiplication). Also practiced more with evaluating variable expressions, and discussed division by zero vs, zero divided by other numbers.
Assignment: page 111, #16-31, 53 & 54 Started with real number addition/subtraction (homework review). Introduced and practiced addition & subtraction of matrices (ch.2-4) and discussed multiplication of real numbers (ch.2-5).
Multiplication rules: If there are an EVEN number of negative factors, the product will be positive. If there are an ODD number of negative factors, the product will be negative. Assignment: page 89, #5-12 and page 96, #16-29 Warmup with real number addition (positive & negative #'s) and evaluating functions. Practiced real number subtraction (add the opposite) with integers, fractions and decimals.
