Algebra

Today we started looking at variables and expressions in class. 

Problems such as y=15, find the value of y + 30

We had four main vocabulary words today: algebraic expression, variable, constant, and evaluate. 

The videos from the website helped out and I am learning how to post them on this blog, but until I can link them, please log in to the my.hrw.com page and find the tab for videos.  They are listed by section, today we did 2-1 and will work on 2-2 tomorrow. 

Note: we are getting our practice problems done in class, so there hasn't been much or any work at home.  Please also check the website options of "interactive quizzes" for more practice if you'd like. 

I also sent out a mass email to let everyone know the tests were sent home with students.  I am posting them in the gradebook tonight.  If your child has a 1 or 2 they will be doing some retake problems from the sections they did not meet the standard on.  Those grades will be posted this weekend. 

Thanks,
 Mr. Flaten
