Day 32: Solving Equations with Integers / Performance Task / Golfing with Integers

Today in Math 6 - 1 & 3°, students worked with solving equations containing integers.  Mr. Giomini mainly focused on one-step equations and introduced the students to working with multi-step equations that included the distributive property connecting topics from our previous concept posttest.

During Math 6 - 2°, students worked independently to complete a performance based task that tied in working with the distributive property, substitution, and evaluating algebraic expressions.

Students in Math 6+, worked with a colleague on a performance based task dealing with integers, number lines, and golfing.

 Today's Learning Target(s): The student will be able to...

1. understand solving an equation or inequality as a process of answering a question from a specified set.  (1 and 3°)
2. use substitution to determine whether a number makes an equation true.  (1 and 3°)
3. evaluate expressions at specific values of their variables.  (2°)
4. understand p + q as the number located a distance away from the absolute vale q from p, in the positive or negative direction depending on whether q is positive or negative.  (7°)
5. apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division to include integers.  (7°)
6. fluently add, subtract, multiply, and divide numbers using the standard algorithm for each operation. (all classes)

For Evening Practice, the student is expected to complete:

1. Math 6 - 1 & 3: Page 28
2. Math 6 - 2°:  Handout from Mr. Giomini 
3. Math 6+: Handout from Mr. Giomini 
4. All Classes: m > 10 minutes meaningful practice at Khan Academy
