Jonathan needs to prepare for a midterm in Algebra 1. We practiced all four operations on radical expressions. Then we solved for literals and we simplified exponents.

We went over the rules of exponents and learned when the rules apply and when they don’t. We understand now that the product and quotient rules only apply when we are working with the same base number. The exponent rules are essential to simplifying algebraic expressions and solving algebraic equations.

Jonathan and I worked on his extra credit assignment in Delta Math which is due Thursday.

Jonathan worked on solving 2 equations with 2 unknowns to prepare for a test on Thursday. We solved these equations by graphing, substitution, and elimination.

Jonathan practiced memorizing formulas for his final exam. We reviewed the equation of a line, slope, parallel, and perpendicular lines. Then we looked at Khan Academy entries to redo as many as possible.

Jonathan worked on an Jonathan worked on an algebra readiness test. He did very well on the order of operations, solving equations, and solving inequalities. We practiced solving word problems and simplifying algebraic expressions. test. He did very well on the order of operations, solving equations, and solving inequalities. We practiced solving word problems and simplifying algebraic expressions.

We worked on long division and fractions. Then we practiced solving algebraic equations with fractions.

We worked on remediating our math skills. We worked on borrowing for subtraction, multiplying 2-digit numbers, and long division. Then we looked at Jonathan’s progress on-line in math class and retook some of the assignments with lower grades.

We reviewed the Pythagorean Theorem. Then Jonathan worked on finding angles by using the properties of vertical, complementary, and supplementary angles.

Jonathan worked on finding the slope and y-intercept using the slope formula and the slope–intercept equation of a line. We reviewed how to multiply decimals and fractions by whole numbers. Then we worked on subtracting integers and subtraction with borrowing. Next, we practiced long division. These concepts were all necessary to solve word problems involving the slope–intercept form of a linear equation. We completed all the Khan academy assignments for the week and improved the scores of the ones that were below grade C.
