   Below is the Math agenda for the week of Monday February 22 - Friday February 26 for my Grade 8 & 9 classes:  Grade 8 Monday February 22  - Hey everyone, today we are using class time to review. We are working on the Chapter 10 Review on:  Pg 400 (#1-23), this is not homework as you will have class time tomorrow to work on it Tuesday February 23  - Hey everyone, today we are continuing to review. So you can use class time to work on the Ch. 10 Review on Pg 400 (#1-23) If you are done you may want to work on the Chapter 10 Practice Test which is on: Pg 402 (#1-15) Moreover, I will have a couple extra-practice worksheets for you to work on if you'd like. Wednesday February 24 -  Hey guys, because of some Lifeskills activities taking place in the morning a number of classes will miss math today. If you have Math you can study, and/or work on the Chapter 8 Practice test which is on Pg 402 (#1-15) Thursday February 25 -  Hey everyone, today we are writing the Chapter 10 UNIT TEST

  Below is the Math agenda for the week of Monday February 15 - Friday February 19 for my Grade 8 & 9 classes:  Grade 8 Monday February 15  - No school today, as it is Family Day. I hope you all had a great day! Tuesday February 16  - Hey everyone, today we are starting section 10.4 and we're looking at understanding how to solve multi-step equations of the form a(x + b) = c using a model. The model we will be using is Algebra Tiles. They are a good way of visualizing the manipulation on both sides of the equation when they are solved.  Please refer to the section 10.4 NOTES in the gr. 8 notes tab on my Blog for details and for review.  Today's activity is on Pg 397 (#2-7) Wednesday February 17 -  Hey guys, today we are wrapping up section 10.4 and we're looking at solving multi-step equations of the form a(x + b) = c. We are going to solve these types of equations by applying the distributive property.  Please refer to the section 10.4 NOTES in the gr. 8 notes tab on m

Below is the Math agenda for the week of Monday February 8 - Friday February 12 for my Grade 8 & 9 classes:  Grade 8 Monday February 8  -  Hey everyone, today we are working in section 10.3 and looking at solving 2-step equations that are of the form x/a + b = c using ALGEBRA.  Remember, when solving a 2-step equation: Isolate the variable, by performing the opposite operation to both sides of the equation. Remembering to:  1st: Perform the adding/subtracting 2nd: Perform the multiplying/dividing Please refer to the section 10.3 NOTES in the gr. 8 notes tab on my Blog for details and for review.  Today's activity is on Pg 392 (#8-11) Tuesday February 9  - Hey everyone, today we are using class time as a work-period to wrap up section 10.3, and using the remainder of the time to prepare and study for tomorrow's quiz. Moreover, there were a few extra-practice worksheets to do for review.  Today's activity is on Pg 392 (#12-16) Please refer to the section 10.3 NOTES in the

Below is the Math agenda for the week of Monday February 1 - Friday February 5 for my Grade 8 & 9 classes:  Grade 8 Monday February 1  -  Hey everyone, today we are using class time to continue working on solving one-step equations.  Today's activity is on Pg 378 (#19 - 28) Tuesday February 2  - Hey everyone, today we are starting section 10.2 and we're looking at understanding how to solve 2-step equations of the form ax + b = c by using a model. The model we will be using is Algebra tiles. They are a good way of visualizing the steps (manipulation) on both sides of the equation when they are solved.  Today's activity is on Pg 384 (#1-6) Please refer to the section 10.2 NOTES in the gr. 8 notes tab on my Blog for details and for review.  Wednesday February 3 -  Hey guys, today we are looking at solving 2-step equations of the form ax + b = c by using Algebra. Remember:  When solving a 2-step equation: Isolate the variable, by performing the opposite operation to both s
