April 28th

A double block of math never hurt anyone. I hope all is well and that you're not having any difficulty with the homework. I appreciate your attention for the majority of the day but this day wasn't without its problems. Algebra is boring but it'll get better if we can just get over this small hump. Then, it's off to magic, group problems, and algebra games.
Today, we reinforced the idea of an expression and an equation. We also figured out how to solve algebraic equations that have a subtraction operator and algebraic equations that have an addition operator. This was proved using the little wooden blocks.
I've linked the answers to the homework questions on this website. I've also provided a .pdf of today's homework. If you have any problems with it, please email me. Remember, 25% or more of test questions come from homework. As well, the homework that you handed in to me to mark is in your journals. You can collect it and the $50 is on the last page of the journal. THE JOURNAL STAYS IN CLASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you didn't get that, the journals are not to leave the classroom.
