Today, students offered variable expressions they've used in previous math classes to help them come up with perimeter, area, and the like. We discussed how many of these expressions involve the use of orders of operations in order to come up with the answers to the problems.
We learned how it is possible to solve a given problem in multiple ways. This discussion will be the building block for the verification piece of problem solving, which we'll be working on throughout the year.
Tonight's Homework: Page 727 ( 4 - 16, and 25 - 28 ). Be sure to show your work, circle your answer, and check the answers to the questions you can by using the back of your book.
Note: We will have a quiz over orders of operations, powers, vocabulary and variable expressions on Friday, September 25th. Be sure to prepare for it!
