Topics for September 17th

Today We Discussed:

Today we reviewed solving one-step algebraic equations.  We discussed what inverse operations are, and also defined the term solution.  Students are reminded that all they are accountable for all the mathematics that came before this class, as well as any new learned material.  Mathematics is a cumulative subject, and the skills built in the past will continue to be used to solve new problems.  That means that we will continue to integrate fraction and decimal operations into our problem solving.  Equation operations will include all types of real numbers.
