Objectives for the week:
8.EE.7: Solve linear equations in one variable. 8.EE.7a: Give examples of linear equations in one variable with one solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solutions. Show which of these possibilities is the case by successively transforming the given equation into simpler forms, until an equivalent equation of the form x = a, a = a, or a = b results (where a and b are different numbers) 8.EE.7b: Solve linear equations with rational number coefficients, including equations whose solutions require expanding expressions using the distributive property and collecting like terms. Equations Vocabulary:
expression equation linear variable distributive property like terms coefficient solution inverse operations stacking method one solution no solution infinitely many solutions |
Monday thru Wednesday:
Students completed several integer rules worksheets due to Mrs. Whisnant being absent. Thursday 10-9-2014
Students solved two-step equations using inverse operations and the stacking method. Students completed a 10 question Warm Up Friday 10-10-14
Students completed a Warm Up and checked the One-Step Equation homework and practiced solving one and two step equations on a Study Guide worksheet in pairs. They are expected to complete the Study Guide at home this weekend and be prepared for a test on one and two step equations on Monday 10-13. Remember: The variable is the "princess" that you are trying to "save". The only way that you can "save" her is to use inverse ops to isolate her on the LEFT side of the equation. "Variables on the LEFT.....numbers on the RIGHT". |
