Week of January 27th

1/27/2020

This week we are continuing to solve one-step equations with rational numbers. Students must focus on showing all steps making sure to keep the equation balanced at all times. In learning to solve equations, students will also be learning to write equations from word problems using key words and phrases to decide what operation should be used in the equation. A quiz will be given on these topics at the end of the week. I will post the exact date on the board later in the week as I monitor students' understanding.

As for unit 3 remediation, I will be using Jag Academy this week to help those students who struggled with the unit 3 test. Tuesday will be used for students to get help and/or to complete their test analysis/corrections. Thursday students may retest. In order to retest, students must see me to have their agenda stamped and complete test corrections.

Students should continue to log at least 30 minutes per week in Study Island.

Tuesday will be spent reviewing for the Unit 3 test being given on Wednesday. In addition to the in class review, I am sending home an additional practice sheet entitled "Simplifying 101". This handout is not required, but would be really great practice for reviewing the most recently learned standards on the test. The answers are posted under "Study Guides/Extra Practice here on Weebly. I am also posting the in class review, in the same area, for students who may want to go over it again at home In addition to testing on Wednesday, students will also have a Unit 3 spiral check.

Thursday we are beginning Unit 4: Equations and Inequalities. We will begin by learning to solve one-step equations by making sure we keep the equation balanced at all times like a see saw on the playground. This unit will only last about two weeks, so it is important that students keep up with their study guides. Study guides will be given out later this week, so look for them to come home. Answers to the study guide will also be posted here to Weebly later this week.

This week we are finishing up unit 3 by continuing to identify and generate equivalent expressions. Students will be asked to demonstrate their understanding of this concept by quizzing on Tuesday (This is the quiz that was scheduled for the end of last week). We will wrap up the week by learning to simplify expressions by using the distributive property and combining like terms, so we may test early next week. Since Monday is a holiday, I anticipate testing on Wednesday, the 22nd. Students will also have a spiral check on the 22nd. Study guides are due Tuesday, the 21st. Answers are posted here to Weebly for the students' benefit.

Students should continue to spend at least 30 minutes per week completing the assigned lessons in Study Island. Students earn a blue ribbon when they score at least 85% on the practice lesson.

Semester exams will be returned Tuesday. It is important for students to review over this exam at home and make corrections because a majority of the test covered standards from Unit 3 that will be covered on the Unit 3 test that will be given in a couple of weeks. During the remainder of the week, we will continue our study of the distributive property and use this property to write and identify equivalent expressions. A quiz over the distributive property, identifying and creating equivalent expressions, and evaluating expressions is planned for the end of the week. Practice questions for these concepts can be found in the students' Unit 3 Study Guide.

Students are still required to spend at least 30 minutes per week on Study Island. Students are expected to work through the review lessons and earn blue ribbons as they reach 85% mastery.

Report cards will go home on Tuesday the 7th.
