PJ did an excellent job today of coming out of his comfort zone and working hard. Today we practiced many skills, not just math skills. I asked him to be mindful of his writing, and instead of writing out his problems large and messy, I asked him to stay between the lines, label his work, and title the page. PJ did not want to do this, but he did. Afterwards, I praised him and showed him how nice and organized it looked. For the lesson, we worked on evaluated expressions given the variable's value. We worked with expressions like 3w-0.5z, given that w=13 and z=4. PJ substituted in those values and then used the order of operations to simplify.
