Algebra I: Today in math students began class with a Do Now and a set of warm up problems, before we jumped into chapter 2.  Students reviewed how to write inequalities as well as how to write an inequality out of words. Students were then introduced to the rules of how to solve inequalities when adding and subtracting as well as what to do when solving with multiplying and/or dividing with a negative value.  Students were then assigned workbook pages 36 & 37, to be due on Friday in class.

The chapter 1 re-test is scheduled for next Tuesday for any students who feel the need to improve their chapter 1 test results.  

Assignments: Students were assigned practice workbook pages 36 & 37 to be due on Friday in class.

7th Grade Math: Students began class with a Do Now and several Flashmaster activities, before students reviewed the activities we did as homework.  Next, students continued adding integers.  We reviewed the rules for adding integers with the same signs as well as different signs, and practiced several examples together. Next, students were introduced to subtracting integers.  Students learned the rule (when subtracting integers, add the opposite of the second term) and then we practiced several problems.  Students were then assigned practice workbook page 14, to be due on Friday in class.

Assignments: Review HW #6 is due on Friday.  Students were assigned practice workbook page 14, to be due on Friday in class.

Science:  Students began class with the Do Now. Students then continued our discussion on observations in science.  Today students were broken into table groups and they continued exploring with dry ice in groups.  Students developed their own explorations from a given set of materials, and developed their groups own procedures list to follow during the time given in class. Students worked together to observe and explain the phenomena they were working through.  

Assignments:  None.
