We will begin our unit on Statistics and Probability. We will be moving at a pretty fast pace. Our final benchmark is scheduled for next Tuesday.  Please encourage your child to pay attention and work hard. 

 

This week your child will take their 2nd Benchmark test. Please make sure they get plenty of rest and eat a good Breakfast at home or remind them to eat at school. 

We will begin solving equations with variables. Please make sure your child completes his/her homework each night. 

 

Standards

EE 4  Identify when two expressions are equivalent (i.e., when the two expressions name the same number regardless of which value is substituted into them). 

EE 5 Understand solving an equation or inequality as a process of answering a question: which values from a specified set, if any, make the equation or inequality true? Use substitution to determine whether a given number in a specified set makes an equation or inequality true. 

EE 7 Solve real-world and mathematical problems by writing and solving equations of the form x + p = q and px = q for cases in which p, q, and x are all nonnegative rational numbers.
