I was out Friday and gave Aiden a 5.1 and 5.2 review to do with the substitute. He was able to complete only the 5.1 review so we went through it together. He did excellent on it. My only comment was for the notation he used to divide by 4 (still an emerging skill). We continued the 5.2 Review. I’m impressed and happy that Aiden is doing a great job setting up these word problem equations. This tends to be difficult for students and Aiden is picking it up easily. Aiden had difficulty with a problem asking him to choose which equations were equivalent to the one given. We discussed test taking strategies for him. We discussed answer choices and working backward to check to see if the options “made sense” for the answer we got. We also reviewed our commutative and associative properties to move around and group terms in different orders to see if it would generate an equivalent equation.
