 Learning Target:
I Can:
  • Solve inequalities using addition or subtraction
  • Graph the inequalities on a number line
  • Give/Solve "real world" examples of inequalities
In class:
** Progress Reports were handed out today*** 1st, 3rd, 6th hours
Sorry 4th hour... you will get your reports tomorrow!!!
 
1st, 3rd & 6th hours- 
We tried a new strategy today to help meet the needs of our students.
Students who earned 2/2 on yesterday's Exit Slip went to Mr. Mousel's room for an activity. 
Students needing extra practice solving inequalities, went to Mrs. White's room for a review/practice.
4th Hour:  Stayed in Mrs. White's class, and did more practice on the whiteboards.


Overall, the student feedback about the activity was positive.  Based on the results of today's Exit Slip most students demonstrated a much better understanding of solving inequalities, and will be prepared for the quiz on Monday.
Homework:
pg 141 problems 14-16, 19-20 and  for 25-28 -(graph solutions on a # line)
