Number System: We completed SLOT in adding and subtracting decimals.
Equations and Expressions: We practiced identifying parts of expressions and equations through a gallery walk and practice quiz and took a quiz.
Homework is to complete the Words into Math (see homework attachments). 30 minutes of Khan Academy is due tomorrow. The Equations and Expressions vocabulary test is Monday, practice on ilearn and using quizlet on the blog.
ATTENTION! It has been a huge issue that many students are coming to class without a pencil. Please make sure you have plenty of pencils and a portable sharpener with you every day! If you are able to donate pencils, it would be greatly appreciated.
