I was a substitute for Ms. Janis from 12:30-1:15pm. However, Ms. Poonam provided me with math to do with Nicky. He did great. After completing math, we played ping pong for some fun. Richard was absent and therefore I was available to take him. Nicky was a delight to work with. He worked hard. He definitely needs additional practice with long division. He did really well with simplifying expressions.
Nicky helped me work on the school mural. He painted in background details that I had sketched out for him. He then helped me work on one of the charcters that I had worked on in the last class.
Nicky opened his Adobe Xd file and we worked together to place all of the images for each person featured in his project. Nicky added vertical scrolling to each person's artboard, connected all of the artboards together, and tested his design.
Today, Nicky focused on equations and expressions. He used mental math or inverse operations to solve equations using addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. Then, Nicky worked online on a practice and problem-solving assignment on simplifying expressions to generate equivalent expressions. He finished with using the order of operations to evaluate expressions and was assigned the remaining problems on solving equations using addition and subtraction for homework.
