Students will finish their Systems of Equations using Elimination method this week and then begin taking video notes on Solving Systems of Equations using Substitution. There will be an assignment due on Solving Systems of Equations using Substitution on Friday.

Hi,

Most students in the class are taking extra time to grasp systems of equations using elimination. Because of this, I have moved the due date to Wednesday, February 21. The Video and Notes Page are on our OneNote and the worksheet is attached to the assignment. Students should watch the video again and review these concepts over the 4-day weekend so they come back to class ready to keep moving.

Thanks,

Mr. Rowan

This week students will learn a new way to solve systems of equations. In this form, students will learn the elimination method. There will be a video and note catcher to complete as well as an assignment for solving systems of equations using the elimination method.

Student finished their review of solving linear equations with variables on both sides of the equal sign and I feel comfortable they now understand this skill. This week students will start by working on an assignment where they will solve systems of equations by graphing. When finished, we will move on to solving systems of equations by elimination.

 

Solve a system of equations when multiplication is necessary to eliminate a variable. Recognize systems that have no solution or an infinite number of solutions. The elimination method for solving systems of linear equations uses the addition property of equality.

This week in math, students will continue to practice solving linear equations with variables on both sides, and then determine if the the equation has one, zero or infinite solutions. Students will also take a pre-assessment on systems of equations.

This week students will be solving linear equations with variables on both sides. Based on the answers, students will determine if the equation has one, zero or infinite solutions.

This week, students will look at their pre-assessments and a quiz we did mid-quarter, as well as feedback on their basic and two-step linear equations. The next step will be solving linear equations with the same variable on both sides of the equation.

 

This week in math, students will continue to learn about solving linear equations. We have introduced one step and two step equations. Now this week the students will continue practicing those equations as well as learning about multi-step equations. Multi-step equations work with variables on both sides of the equation.

 

The assessment on solving linear equations will be on Wednesday, December 20th.

This week in math, students will continue to learn about solving linear equations. Last week we introduced one-step equations and student's learned the steps need to solve these equations. Now students will practice. This week I will also introduce students to two-step and multi-step equations. The videos and notes we are using to understand this, as well as all the practice problems, can be found on the student's Math OneNote class notebook.  You can find our Do Now and Algebra sections there.

 

Welcome back! I hope everyone had a good break! This week students will get their Language of Algebra and Slope Assessments back. We look at the results and finish up our look at the slope of stair cases around the school and if they comply with OSHA safety standards. 

We will then begin our unit on Linear Equations: One-Step, Two-Step and Multiple-Step problems and how to solve them. We will also be covering whether a system of equations has one, infinite or no solutions.

We will begin the week with an assessment over the Language of Algebra and Slope. This will include review, testing and grading. We will then move into solving algebraic equations by combining like terms, using opposite operations and then solving for the variable in question (4x + 6 = 7x - 3).

Hi,

All students were given their folder and notebook and all the work that has been turned in and graded. In addtion, they have their pre-assessments. Students should study missed problems, take notes, logon to our OneNote and review videos. Please ask your student to get out their red math folder and study over the weekend.

Thanks!

Mr. Rowan

Students have their pre-assessment and the work they have done so far. We will have a short review Monday morning and then start the test.

 

In math, students will continue their exploration of slope and the different ways to find it. Rise over Run has moved into finding slope from two points using the Slope Form formula. We will also problem-solve for the installation of a staircase at school.

All these questions and more will lead to exploration of the rise and run of each step over x distance: in their plans and in the school.

In math, students are focusing on combining like terms as this is the first step in  solving algebraic equations. As we finish the language of algebra section of this unit, students will be introduced to their first equation: y = mx + b. This is the equation for slope

or change in y over change in x

or rise over run

or delta y over delta x. Students will learn how to calculate slope and distinguish between positive, negative, zero and undefined slopes. Students will explore and learn how to solve slope in graphs, tables, word problems and equations.
