Topics for October 1st

Today We Discussed:

In preparation for our Chapter 2 test tomorrow, we spent the majority of our class working through practice problems.  Students should spend time tonight going through old homework and practicing solving and writing equations.  The test will cover solving one-step, two-step, and multi-step equations as well as equations with variables on both sides.  It will also cover problem solving with defining variables in terms of each other, consecutive number problems, break-even problems, and uniform motion (d=rt).

Study Skills:  Did you run out of problems to practice?  No problem!  Try working out the exercises at the end of each book section - there are example problems worked out in each section, and the homework problems are labeled in green to identify which practice problem is like the problem listed in the exercises.  The odd numbered problems have answers in the back so you can check to make sure you are solving the problems correctly!
