Day 34: Math 6 - Finish-up Mid-Point / Math 6+: Inequalities

Math 6 students had an additional 20 minutes to work on their Topic Three Mid-point quiz from Friday. Once that was done, Mr. Giomini provided the students with class time to work towards their quarterly Khan goal of 33%.

In Math 6+, Mr. Giomini distributed back the Topic Two Post-test back to the students. He displayed an answer key on the board to help address any questions that the students may have had once they received their assessments back. Solving inequalities were then introduced and practiced in class. The equation work that has been the foundation for much of our work for the past few weeks should help us transition well into inequalities.

This is where we want to get to, but not just yet.

Standards addressed/assessed today in class:

• Math 6: 
• Write and evaluate numerical expressions involving whole-number exponents.
• Find the greatest common factor of two whole numbers less than or equal to 100 and the least common multiple of two whole numbers less than or equal to 12. Use the distributive property to express a sum of two whole numbers 1-100 with a common factor as a multiple of a sum of two whole numbers with no common factor. For example, express 36 + 8 as 4 (9 + 2).
• Apply the properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions. 
• Math 6+:
• Understand solving an equation or inequality as a process of answering a question: which values from a specified set, if any, make the equation or inequality true? Use substitution to determine whether a given number in a specified set makes an equation or inequality true.
• Write an inequality of form x > c or x < c to represent a constraint or condition in a real-world or mathematical problem. Recognize that inequalities of form x > c or x < c have infinitely many solutions; represent solutions of such inequalities on number line diagrams.
