Class Topics: 04.21.14

In Common Core Math Six, students in 1 and 3° began class by reviewing the Weekend Practice. Before introducing and modeling Lesson 11.7: Solving Multi-Step Inequalities, Mr. Giomini gave the students the opportunity to show what they knew by attempting the following problem.  

Mrs. Spagnola is a sales associate in a clothing store.  Each week she earns $250 plus a commission equal to 3% of her sales.  This week her goal is to earn no less than $460.  Write and solve an inequality to find the dollar amount of the sales she must have to reach her goal.

During 2° students continued work in two groups.  Mr. Giomini reviewed all four of the formulas for the students before administering a quiz.

In Miss McGreer's group, students continued working with sets of data and how to calculate measures of central tendency.  The class also analyzed graphs.

Students in 4° reviewed the Khan Skills from the Weekend Practice before Mr. Giomini introduced and modeled  Lesson 11.6: Solving Inequalities with Multiplication and Division.  In this lesson, students worked more with substituting their solution set into the inequality to prove that their answer(s) made the original inequality true.
