8th Grade Math: Today in math students began class with the Problem of the Day.  Next, students jumped back into chapter 5 and we quickly reviewed how to multiply and divide fractions and mixed numbers.   After we graded the homework from Tuesday evening (page 245 #2-24) students were introduced to solving equations with fractions by using the multiplicative inverse.  After some teacher led instruction and several example problems, students were assigned problems out of the text book in order to help gain a better understanding of the solving equations using the multiplicative inverse concept.  Page 249 #11-17 (odds) and #21-27 (odds), are due Thursday in class.
