Expressions and Multiplying Fractions

CARES

Today we watched a video called Caine's Arcade about a young man who created his own arcade out of cardboard boxes.  Then we talked about how his character and perseverance grew because of the experience.  Search it on youtube if you wish to see what I'm talking about.

Math II

Interesting development.  We need to circle back to learn how the basics of algebra work.  Letters  have shown up and we're "totally freaking out!"  (Peg and Cat reference for those of you who know that show.)

Tomorrow we start filling in the holes and go from there.  However, I did get to show them how to find terms and like terms.

Math I

Multiplying Fractions.  Today we focus on reducing and pre-simplifying.  Arguably one of the more persistent challenges in the first semester.
