This Week and The Next in Algebra Class!

Students will be understanding how to setup and solve word problems involving consecutive odd or evens numbers.

We discussed what even, odd, and consecutive means?

Even numbers are integers that are divisible by 2. For instance, 0 is even because 0 = 2 (0). 100 is even because 100 = 2 (50).

Odd numbers are integers that are not divisible by 2. For instance, 3 is odd because 3 = 1+ 2(1). 17 is odd because 17 = 1 + 2(8).

Consecutive means terms, numbers, event that follow in sequential order. For instance, 2, 4, and 6 are consecutive even numbers. For instance, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are consecutive numbers.

For instance, two consecutive even numbers add up to 82. What are the numbers?

Next week we will start talking about formulas and their applications.
