Bellwork reviewed consecutive integer problems and perimeter problems from Sec 2-5.

The remainder of the period we continued discussing Sec 2-5 by beginning story problems involving Distance, Rate, and Time (d=rt).

Hwk #13 is due on Monday Sec 2-5
Pages 107-109

Bellwork reviewed solving equations with variables on both sides and solving an equation for one of its variables.

Hwk #12 is due today.

Students took another equation solving quiz.

After the quiz we began discussing Sec 2-5 which involves several types of “story” problems. We began with Perimeter Problems and Consecutive Integer Problems.

Bellwork showed students how to eliminate denominators in an equation having several fractions. This makes the equation easier to solve.

The remainder of the period we finished Sec 2-3 by practicing solving equations with “many” fractions. We then began discussing Sec 2-4 which is solving equations that have variables on both sides of the equal sign.

Hwk #10 is due tomorrow. Sec 2-3
