Quiz on solving inequalities.

2-8 Inequalities and Their Graphs – We learned that an inequality is a mathematical sentence that contains less than, less than or equal to, greater than, or greater than or equal to. As with an equation, a solution to an inequality containing a variable is a number that when substituted for the variable makes the inequality true. However unlike a linear equation, a linear inequality may have more than one number as a solution.
We learned to graph solutions of inequalities. Then we learned to write inequalities to describe graphs.

2-7 Problem Solving: Guess, Check, Revise – We practiced the Guess, Check, Revise problem-solving strategy on real-world problems. Then we learned that a guess is a reasonable trial solution. We learned that estimating our answers will help us determine if our answers to equations are reasonable or not.

Quiz on Lessons 2-1 to 2-5.

We went over the homework from last night. We reviewed the distributive property then we practiced double-digit division to solve algebraic equations.

2-6 Solving equations by Multiplying or Dividing – We learned to solve one-step equations using multiplication and division. We reviewed dividing a number by itself and we reviewed the Division Property of Equality which says that you can divide each side of an equation by the same nonzero number. We reviewed the fact that divisors are restricted to nonzero values because division by zero is not defined. Next, we practiced Real-World Problem Solving.

2-3 Simplifying Variable Expressions – We created algebraic expressions to solve word problems. Then we identified like terms and combine them. Next we tried to simplify an expression where we had to perform the distributive property as a first step.
