Class Topics: 10.06.14

In Common Core Math Six today, students reviewed their Weekend Practice by checking their work with an answer key provided by Mr. Giomini.  Students were then asked if there was any questions regarding the weekend's work.  Mr. Giomini discussed the question below in blue because it is similar to something students will see on the Chapter Three Midpoint Quiz on Friday, October 10th.

On Tuesday, the mailman delivered three checks for $15 each, the gas bill for $45 and the electric bill for $25.  Do you have enough money from the three checks to pay the two bills?  Explain why or why not.  If you don't, explain how much more money is needed to pay the bills.

Lesson 3.5: Multiplying and Dividing Integers was introduced, modeled, and independently practiced.  Class had an opportunity to begin their Evening Practice.

Today's Learning Goals: The student will be able to...

• understand that positive and negative numbers are used together to describe quantities having opposite directions or values.
• use positive and negative numbers to represent quantities in real-world contexts, explaining the meaning of 0 in each situation. 
• recognize opposite signs of numbers as indicating location on opposite sides of 0 on the number line.

For Evening Practice, the student is expected to...

• complete Khan Skill: Multiplying and Dividing Negative Numbers.
• complete page 18 and 19 in Chapter Three.
