Class Topics: 09.20.12

In Math Six today, students received their Unit Two Formative Pretests back from Mr. Giomini.  We analyzed the class scores in a bar graph and developed quick inferences as to why the results occurred.  Class then begin Unit Two with Lesson 2.1 Reading and Writing Large Numbers and Lesson 2.2 Reading and Writing Small Numbers.  
Today's Learning Intentions: The student will be able to...

1. read and write large numbers in standard, expanded and number-and-word notations
2. read and write small number in standard and expanded notation.

For Evening Practice, it is suggested that the student...

1. complete Math Box 2.2 on Math Journal 51 in a Google Form.  CLICK HERE!

In Pre-Algebra today, students worked with Lesson 2-5: Solving Inequalities Containing Integers.  This lesson is a bit tricky because at times the inequality symbol needs to be changed depending on the operation and integer.  The reason this must be done is to keep the inequality true when we check our solution.

Mr. Giomini provided several examples in class that students recorded in their Pre-Algebra notebook.  Students then worked independently to solve numbers 14 through 30 in their textbook as Mr. Giomini assisted students and monitored student progress.
Today's Learning Intentions: The student will be able to...

1. solve one-step inequalities that involve integers.
2. check inequalities solution by substituting value back into the equation.

For Evening Practice, it is suggested that the student...

1. complete 37 - 45, 47, 50 (all parts), 51 explain on your paper, 53 - 61.
2. review concepts from Lessons 2-1 and 2-2 in preparation for Monday's Mid-Point Quiz.
3. post an answer and explanation for the question below.
