Math Week 12-14-15
7th: We finish percent change--increases and decreases! Test on Monday!
We are using integers to use them to solve tasks and model the world. Our focus is adding and subtracting with integers.
Practice last week's concept: Space Race
7.NS.1 Apply and extend previous understandings of addition and subtraction to add and subtract rational numbers; represent addition and subtraction on a horizontal or vertical number line diagram. b. Understand p + q as the number located a distance |q| from p, in the positive or negative direction depending on whether q is positive or negative. Show that a number and its opposite have a sum of 0 (are additive inverses). Interpret sums of rational numbers by describing real‐ world contexts.
8th: Students will practice and develop skills at solving and modeling linear equations in two variables.
Need to Help Solving Two-Step Equations: Math Antics Video
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.

7th: We finish percent change--increases and decreases! Test on Monday!
Then we begin to investigate integers and how to use them to solve tasks and model the world.
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.
