Thursday!

Today, Algebra worked on a 6.3 worksheet, to help develop the skills that we learned yesterday. Pre-Algebra worked on a textbook review, page 584-585 #6-19 and page 590-591 #1-10 skip 10b. AT Algebra worked on a chapter 7 review. The chapter 7 test will be tomorrow.
In order to help the AT students remember the material from chapter 7, I have created a rap. It is as follows:

Systems of Equations and Inequalities Rap

By Mrs. Eggleston

Systems of equations

Man, this math is blazin’

So many ways to solve a system

Better listen up, I’m gonna list ‘em

Graphing, that’s the first method to apply

Put each equation in slope-intercept, then graph it, just try

Be careful, this method can be tricky

If your graph is sloppy, trying to find the solution might get sticky

Next up, solve by substitution

Simple, solve for one variable, plug it in, get your solution

Don’t forget the last method, elimination

Also known as combination

Make sure both equations are in standard form

Then, cancel out one variable, it’s simple to perform

After that, solve for one letter

Sounds fun? Wait, it gets better

Take the value for the variable plug back into the equation

Solve it for the other variable; you might get no solution on occasion

If you want to get advanced we can talk about an inequality

Graph them both, make it pretty

Find the intersection on the graph

That’s your solution, no further math

Hope you enjoyed the lesson, don’t forget

We haven’t taken the chapter test yet!

Welcome back!

Welcome back! I hope that everyone had a great, relaxing break! This week we are getting back into the swing of things in the classroom. On Monday, Algebra started chapter 6, Pre-Algebra started chapter 11, and AT Algebra did a review of the first half of chapter 7. Yesterday, all of the classes were in the lab for our first day of T.E.A.M. time! I think this is going to be a very successful program, especially after seeing it in action in the lab yesterday! Today, Pre-Algebra did lesson 11.2, Box and Whisker plots. Algebra did lesson 6.3, Compund Inequalities, and AT did lesson 7.6, Systems of Linear Inequalities. All of the notes for each class are attached to this post. Have a great day!
