*Read & go overPage 96 has the Unit outline for the three main concepts being tested, Multiplying Integers, Dividing Integers and Order of Operations
**Complete as many questions on pages 97-98 between #1-24 as you need to to study for the test, check your answers on pages 502-503
***Complete all questions on page 99 the PRACTICE TEST and check your answers in the back on page 503

We are working in CHAPTER 2 of the textbook, sign in to work using the online textbook here. Your password and username should be written in your agenda or on a card in your math binder. Email me if you forget the username and password. We can't post it here.
Due on Wednesday, Nov. 3 are:
Multiplying assignment Pages 73-75 # 3, 5, 8, 11, 12(a, b only) and 17
Dividing assignment is Pages 80-81 #3,4,5,9,10, 11, 12, 13, and 14
Show your thinking using numberlines, chip diagrams or explain in words what you are doing when asked WHY? :-)
Assignments for Nov. 4th are:
Dividing Integers Page 87 - 88 # 7, 10, 11, 12, 16, 23
Complete the mid-unit reviewpage 83 # 1 to 13 before our 1 page quiz on multiplying and dividing integers on Tuesday, Day 3, Nov. 9! Go over your assignments on text pages 73-75 and 80-81.
Starting Monday Nov. 8th, we will start practicing Order of Operations, or the "grammar of mathematics". How many different ways can you evaluate the following expression?
3 squared x 6 + 36/4 - 1
To ensure everyone gets the same meaning from this expression (the same value), we use order of operations.
Check out these websites on BEDMAS or PEDMAS (parenthesis instead of brackets).
We will also have some activity handouts in class using order of operations to solve puzzles. You can download them here and here.
