This Week in Algebra! This Week in Geometry!

In ALGEBRA, the day after Election Day, we will be going over Double Step Linear Equations. Here is a video about solving Double Step Linear Equations:



Later I will post some pictures of work we are doing.

In GEOMETRY, the day after Election Day, we will finish solving the Murder Mystery after reviewing Law of Syllogism and continue discussion of Angle Relationships, using Geogebra.

In Algebra .. & In Geometry ...

The vocabulary words for Algebra are:

Term     Opposite     Subtraction     Integer     Division     Linear Equation
Linear Inequality     Multiplication     Addition    

We put them in a padlet.

Tomorrow, we will cover Multiplication (and Division) with Linear Equations. YouTube it.

The vocabulary words for Geometry are:

Conclusion     Conditional     Contrapositive     Counterexample     Deductive     Hypothesis
Inductive     Inverse     Law of Detachment     Law of Syllogism    Negation

We will put them in a padlet.

Geometry, we are converting statements into If/Then statements; we will locate the hypothesis and conclusion of each conditional statement. Each conditional statement can be expressed as the converse, inverse and contrapositive. YouTube it.

The Week Before Halloween, and All Through The Classroom ...

During the week of October 24 thru 28, our normal routine continues. CEC Journal 4 returns - SAT preparation.

In Algebra, we are beginning Chapter 3 - Solving Linear Equations. Here are some videos on what we will be covering:





In Geometry, we are retesting on Monday concerning Chapter 1. Starting Tuesday, we will start Logical Reasoning and the Comic Project - Chapter 2. We will not cover in-depth proof writing. Each student will need to bring in a comic by Wednesday.
