7th Grade Math:  Today in math students began class with the problem of the day, before jumping back into chapter 3.  Today students began working with equations with variables on both sides of the equal sign.  We reviewed two-step equations, and solving equations involving like terms and parentheses before applying all of those skills with variables on both sides of the equal sign.  

Assignments:   Review Homework #14 is due Wednesday.

8th Grade Math:  Today in math students began class with the problem of the day.  Next, we jumped back into section two of chapter two.   We reviewed the rules associated with adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing integers before jumping back into the distributive property.  After a few teacher led example problems, students were assigned the 2.2 worksheet and given about 20 minutes of class time to get started.  

Assignments:   Review Homework #15 is due Wednesday.  The section 2.2 worksheet is due Wednesday in class.  

Science:  Today in science, students worked with their partner for the Bubble Gum Challenge activity.  Students spent time in class completing their gum experiments, graphing their results, and beginning to write out their lab write-ups, which will need to be typed up by the end of class on Wednesday.   

Assignments:  Students can and should be analyzing their data from their bubble gum experiments.  Students should be organizing their notes and packets to be prepared to type up their materials lists and procedures on Wednesday in class.
