9/25 Lesson 3.1.1 Grouping Expressions

1.  Warm-up:  Citizenship Reflection- Take a moment to reflect on your citizenship in this classroom.  Highlight (or circle with pen/pencil) the citizenship attributes that you think you demonstrate.

2.  Lesson 3.1.1: Grouping Expressions

• Lesson Objective:  I will explore the order of operations and use grouping symbols to change the value of expressions.
• Do: Problems 3-1 through 3-5.
• On Problem 3-3, write the definition of "numerical term" in your notebook.
• Class discussion:  How can two expressions with the same numbers and same operations be different?

Homework: Lesson 3.1.1 R/P (due Monday)

9/24 Chapter 3 Pre-Assessment + Lesson 2.2.4

1.  Warm-up:

• Think of 3 ways to compose 19 using only 3, 5, 10.
• Can you compose 21 using lengths 2, 10, 14?  If so, think of 3 ways.  If not, explain.

2.  Introduction to Lesson 2.2.4: Multiplication as Repeated Addition

3.  Chapter 3 Pre-Assessment

4.  Individually complete Lesson 2.2.4

• Objective:  I will develop an understanding of multiplication as repeated addition.  I will use the Distributive Property to solve multiplication problems.
• Do: Problems 70-77
• If you do not finish in class, it is homework.

Homework:  Chapter 2 ILP due tomorrow.  Complete Core Problems 70-77.  No R/P for Lesson 2.2.4

9/23 Lesson 2.2.1 Composing Integers

1.  Warm-up:  Imagine that your partner was absent yesterday.  Explain to them (by writing in your warm-up section) how to quickly:

• Convert 0.456 to a fraction
• Convert 0.828282...(repeating) to a fraction
• Convert any repeating series of digits to a fraction
• Example: 0.xyxyxyxy...

Check that your answer is correct using a scientific calculator

2.  Lesson 2.2.1 Composing Integers

• Tightrope walking video.
• Objective:  I will be able to compose numbers in multiple ways
• Do: Problems 31, 32, 34, and 35
• Skip: Problem 33

3.  Closure:  Refer back to problem 34.  Does the order that Cecil moves in matter?

Homework:  Lesson 2.2.1 R/P (answers in GC)

9/22 Converting Decimals to Fractions

1.  Warm-up:  Turn to your classwork (and homework) from yesterday.  Discuss with your team some of the patterns you found regarding which types of fractions terminate (or repeat).

2.  Green Parent Letters?

3.  Class Discussion:  Which fractions terminate?  Which fractions repeat?  Can we come up with a generalized rule?

4.  Lesson 2.1.2: Converting Decimals into Fractions

• Objective:  I will convert decimals into fractions using what I know about the place-value system.
• Please read Lesson instructions in GC

Homework:  Lesson 2.1.2 R/P (due Wednesday)

9/21 Terminating and Repeating Decimals

1.  Warm-up:  Quietly find your new seat, log-in to your new computer, and examine your graded individual test.  Please do not ask Mr. Robinett individual questions.  He will address all questions after the warm-up.

2.  Individual Test

• "How was it graded?"
• "How can I improve on the next Individual Test?"

3.  Lesson 2.1.1

• Objective:  I will convert fractions into decimals and determine whether they represent repeating or terminating decimals.  I will formulate a general rule for determining whether or not a fraction will repeat.
• Definition: Rational number- any number that can be written as a fraction ^a/_b where a and b are both integers (whole numbers).
• Definition: Repeating decimal- a decimal is said to repeat if a single digit, or sequence of digits, repeats infinitely.

Lesson 2.1.1 can be found exclusively in Google Classroom.  Please complete Lesson 2.1.1 in the classwork section of your notebook.

Homework:  Complete Lesson 2.1.1 if not already completed in class
