Week of November 8th

Well our first week is over and you should be noticing that if you follow the steps Algebra 1 is not that difficult. Every day we add new skills to the list and you simply follow them through to the completion of the problem. Important points to date:

•    Follow the rules for integer problems - Where am I starting from and what am I doing?
•    Talk it through to yourself to determine order of operations.

Some of this week's test scores would have been much improved by following these simple steps. Let's eliminate any silly mistakes in the next test.

MONDAY
A1:1.0 ,2.0,3.0,4.0 SLE 2a-g 3ab 4a
