Students examined another series of "magic" problems today and practiced translating each written step into mathematical expressions. Then, they worked the problem backwards to ensure their math was correct. The ultimate goal was to come up with a quick way to figure out the starting number if all you knew was the ending number. We then talked about the way to write a check step, and use it to prove you got the correct answer to a multi-step problem.
Tonight's Homework: Complete both sides of the ESP worksheet you started in class, and then do Lesson 3.3 ( 24 - 34, even with check steps; 44 - 54 )
