**District Common Assessment on Friday!
(7.EE.A.1, 7.EE.A.2, 7.EE.B.3, 7.RP.A.3)

•Ratios and Proportions Unit: Students have been using the percent proportion to solve problems involving markup, discount, sales tax, commission, and total selling price. We created a mini-book for our math notebooks with examples of each, as well as taken notes on related vocabulary. I showed the classes two methods for solving the problems (method 1: find the amount of markup (or discount), then add to (subtract from) the original amount; method 2: find the total percent you will be paying….ex. 100% + 6% = 106% -amount I will pay, then solve.)

•SLOT(Bellwork): We have been practicing multi-step equations (ones that include the distributive property and combining like terms).
