7th Grade Math: Today in math students began class with the Problem of the Day.  Next, students jumped right back into chapter 3.  We began class by reviewing the rules of signs as well as how to solve two step equations.  We then continued solving equations with variables on both sides of the equal sign.  Students felt we needed to spend a bit more time working with variables on both sides of the equal sign, so we spent class going over several example problems together, before students were assigned problems from their at home text books, page 134, #11-25, to be due on Thursday in class.  

Assignments:  Students were assigned problems from their at home text books, page 134, #11-25, to be due on Thursday in class.  Review Homework #17 is due Friday in class.
