RETURN AFTER THE SNOWSTORM!

Hello my darlings!

After a VERY lengthy second winter break we return!  Here is the rundown from today and the homework!

6ers
1. Today we finished our quiz on GCF and LCM
2. I gave you a BRAND new COW.  For those of you that need a refresher here is the problem for tonight,  remember you have to do the Givens, Constraints, Goal and explain why and how you eliminated the other answer choices.

Here is the COW for 6th grade
COW COW COW COW

Tomorrow 6ers we'll be starting our review of fractions and equivalent fractions! WOOHOO!

7ers
Today we discussed the associative and commutative properties to help us simplify algebraic expressions.  Tonight you have to finish the COW for homework and bring it in ready to go tomorrow.  The only way you will get the new COW is if you finish tonight's homework!

7ers here is a great link to help further explain the properties that we use to simplify algebraic expressions.  Remember, turn the entire problem into addition, put like terms together and COMBINE!!!!

See you tomorrow!! Don't forget to do your homework!!!

And practice Math Facts at home! I know Coty and Domonique are so close to mastering!!!

  3. THE ENTIRE COW IS DUE TOMORROW! It is simply writing givens constraints and explaining how you got the answer! It's not as bad as it looks!

  5. For the Knowledge part of tonight's COW, problem 2 is confusing me. I think it's distributive property, but I am not sure... Also, within the parentheses there are unlike terms trying to be added together. They can't, but then there is this minus two thing...? Do I remove the parentheses?
