7th: We will study percent change--increases and decreases! Last week many students needed review with converting fractions to percents so we will continue to practice that skill. Also, students will be thinking and learning in groups and practicing be productive and cooperative learners while understanding and solving real world tasks.
7.RP.3 Use proportional relationships to solve multi-step ratio and percent problems.
MP1: Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
MP3: Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
8th: Students will practice and develop skills at solving linear equations in one variable.
Here is a link for an on-line practice app that gives a visual balance model for solving equations. Great practice! Model Algebraic Equations
8.EE.C.7b Solve linear equations with rational number coefficients, including equations whose solutions require expanding expressions using the distributive property and collecting like terms.
