Homework tonight:
- Simplify: -6(-10+4x)
- Simplify: -9(7x-1)
- Add: -6(-10+4x)+-9(7x-1)
- Subtract: -6(-10+4x)- -9(7x-1)
1st, 2nd, 5th, 6th, and 7th periods:
Today in class, we will continue using properties of operations to simplify expressions. Students will work more independently today, and we will review last night's homework today. We will also show how to simplify -4n+4(1-3n).
*Please note that not every step we are taking to simplify expressions is absolutely necessary. Our main focus is on becoming familiar with properties of operations and where they are useful: if we use them when they aren't necessary, we are more likely to pay attention to them and use them when they are.
4th period will take the CFA today.
*CFAs are assessments that will be included on the end-of-term grade for all classes. All classes will take the CFA before the end of the day on Friday.
