The Properties of Equality - Sept 15

Topics for Today:

Today we laid the groundwork for all the properties of equality.  The properties are a set of truths that act as rules to allow us to rewrite numbers and equations to make them easier to solve.  We also use the properties to justify the different steps we take to simplify expressions and solve equations.  Students also made a set of notecards that can be used during any quiz or test this year.
