Equations and Expressions: We are combining like terms and using the distributive property in order to find equivalent expressions. In class, we added a foldable to our ISN on page 87. For any absent students today, I added this to homework attachments.
For homework, complete the equivalent expression matching hearts. Absent students, find the halves of the heart that match, cut out and glue back together with the correct match (see homework attachments).
Khan Academy this week includes the following topics. Complete 30 minutes and try to complete as many as the following this week!
- Combining Like Terms
- Evaluating Expressions with Variables Word Problems
- Equivalent Expressions
- Terms, Factors and Coefficients
- Combining Like Terms with Distribution
- Factor with the distributive property
- Distributive Property with Variables
