Integrated 2 ---Week of Aug 29 - Sept 2

Monday, 8/29
Today we worked on solving for a variable out of the context of a problem.
(example 2x + 3y = 12... solve for y: y = (12-2x)/3 OR y = 4 - 2/3x)

HOMEWORK#4 worksheet was given out... do problems for Monday.
You can download a version of this worksheet here (and you'll need a book for some of the problems) at:
ABSENT STUDENTS...
- check in the group folder for your homework
- get notes for solving (put into toolkit) from a group member

Tuesday, 8/30
We started with a warm-up and self-assessment.
In Class Problems: p. 32 #5-6
Tomorrow we will regroup for practice for the Proficiency Check (scheduled for Thursday) based on students' self-assessment.
HW WS... do Tuesday's problem as best you can.

Wednesday, 8/21Re-group and compare yesterday's work
Finish: p. 32 #5-6, Advanced Practice: #7
HW WS... do Wednesday's problems and finish Tuesday, if necessary
Proficiency Check tomorrow!

Thursday, 8/22
Q & A session
In-Class Proficiency Check - that's all.

Friday, 8/23
I took advantage of the presence of my student teachers and had students work in numeracy groups.  Students worked on solving
   2 step equations (ex:  3x - 4 = 11)
   equations with parenthesis  (ex:   4(x + 2) = 11)
   equations involving combining like terms   (ex:  3x - 2 + 5x + 8 = 17)
Each student was placed into a group based on previous knowledge. 
ABSENT STUDENTS:  If you'd like to catch up with this, let me know and I"ll get you the appropriate worksheet.  Otherwise, we'll just set you up where you need to be next week.
