8th Grade Math: Today in math students began class with the Problem of the Day.  Next, students continued learning about factors and multiples.  We then continued talking about LCMs and students were reviewing how to find LCMs using prime factorization.  Many students needed more practice on LCMs of monomials as well as LCDs, so we spent a bit of time working on some examples together.  Students were just introduced to multiplying powers.  We will pick up on multiplying and dividing powers in class on Thursday.   

Assignments:  Review HW #36 is due Friday in class.

Assignments:   Review HW #36 is due Friday in class.
