Week of 8/27/12

Math 7
Monday- Students are learning to subtract integers.
In class, we will practice subtracting on a number line. We will also discuss how subtracting integers is the same as adding the opposite for example 3-7 is the same as 3+-7.  Students will have 5 problems to complete for homework which are shown below.


Use the integer line to answer the questions below. The first one is done for you.
#1:-3 - 4 = -7

#2:-3 - 5 =



#3:6 - 2 =


#4:5 - 6 =


#5:-3 - 3 =



Tuesday- Students will continue to practice subtracting integers. We will create a large number line using receipt paper and students will practice in groups. Homework is shown below.



Integers Homework 2
#6:5 - (-3) =


#7:-8 - (-7) =

#8:0 + (-4) =

#9:-6 - (-10) =

#10:-4 - (-2) =


Practice online math games

Wednesday/Thursday - Students are learning to identify and use properties to make solving math problems easier such as commutative, associative and additive inverse. 

We will review the properties then students will play a matching game where they will sort the equations to the correct property. We will then practice using these properties to make solving integer problems easier.

Accelerated Math 7- 

Monday- students will review subtracting integers. Students will have a homework sheet which is shown below. 



Use the integer line to answer the questions below. The first one is done for you.
#1:-3 - 4 = -7

#2:-3 - 5 =



#3:6 - 2 =


#4:5 - 6 =


#5:-3 - 3 =




Integers Homework 2
#6:5 - (-3) =


#7:-8 - (-7) =

#8:0 + (-4) =

#9:-6 - (-10) =

#10:-4 - (-2) =


Tuesday- students will learn about the properties of numbers and we will practice using these to mentally solve integer problems. Students will complete a property matching game and will be assigned 5 problems to complete at home. 

Rewrite each problem using a property, then solve.

Equation                    New equation                 Answer.                  Property Used
1. -8 + -3 + -2

2. 2 + 10 + -2

3. (5+ 47) + 5

4. -7 + 12 + 7

5. 7 + 56 + 3

6. Write you own example of an equation and write the property you would use to solve.

Wednesday- Students will review subtracting and adding integers by completing board races on our desks. We will also review properties of numbers.

Thursday- Students will take their unit 1 test over adding and subtracting integers and properties of numbers. 

Algebra
Monday- Students will be learning how to solve literal equations.  A literal equation is an equation made up of at least 2 variables. Many geometry formulas are examples of literal equations.  Students will be asked to solve for one variable. 

For example: P = 2L + 2W, solve for w.
                    -2L    -2L
                 P- 2L = -2W
                  -2           -2

W=   P- 2L
          -2

Tuesday- Students will continue practicing solving literal equations.

Homework: Page 114 29-38 all

Wednesday- Students will review equations information for our test tomorrow.. We will play a review game in class.

Homework Page 126 18- 56 even. This is review for their test tomorrow.

Thursday TEST DAY!!
