Attack of the Equation!

Math

We have been working on solving equations.  Remember to review the meaning of variable, expression and equation.

Example of an equation:

                    99  = 72 + w
               99 -72 = 72 -72 + w
                      27 = w

Do your practice sheet as we will work through all questions tomorrow before our quiz.  PRACTICE USING IXL.  Select solving equations. 


Stocking Art Projects

The students created some beautiful Christmas Stockings to decorate our hallway.
