Homework Due 11-4-15
7th: Write and answer your own proportion task modeled after the Suzette and Margo we did in class on Monday.
Example Task: Suzette and Margo want to prepare crêpes for all of the students in their French class. A recipe makes 20 crêpes with a certain amount of flour, milk, and 2 eggs. The girls already know that they have plenty of flour and milk to make 50 crêpes, but they need to determine the number of eggs they will need for the recipe because they are not sure they have enough. a. Considering the amount of eggs necessary to make the crêpes, what is the constant of proportionality? b. What does the constant or proportionality mean in the context of this problem? c. How many eggs are needed to make 50 crêpes?
8th: Write at least 2 of your own verbal expressions and the algebraic answer with them. Try to make them a little challenging for your peers to solve.

Math Week 11-2-15
7th: We are still learning about ratio and proportion as it is a foundation of algebra. This week we start writing equations to represent proportional relationships. Then later in the week will begin working with percents.
7.RP.A.2C Represent proportional relationships by equations. For example, if total cost t is proportional to the number n of items purchased at a constant price p, the relationship between the total cost and the number of items can be expressed as t=pn.
7.RP.3 Use proportional relationships to solve multistep ratio and percent problems
8th: We are starting with understanding linear equations. Fluency in writing and solving equations is essential in learning the language of algebra. This week we are focusing on translating between words and symbols and identifying when an equation is representing a linear relationship.
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.
