Lesson Comments
Colson was very engaged in today’s lesson on determining slope of a straight line. He needs to be guided with detailed calculations as he tends to work at a pace which is too fast and causing frequent errors with signs etc.
Combine like Terms to Solve Equations with Variables on Both Sides – We went over combining like terms and solving 2-step algebraic equations with terms on both sides of the equation. First we used inverse operations to move all variable terms to one side of the equation and constant terms to the other. Then we isolated the variable.
