Today, we reviewed powers and exponents with students. They took notes giving them definitions and some examples of evaluating exponential expressions involving variables. We did a worksheet in class that was graded and I also collected their notebooks to give them credit for their notes this week.

8/24/2007 Algebra 2-Solving Linear Equations
Today students will be reviewing how to solve linear equations. While this was spread out through a entire chapter in Algebra 1 class, we will review it in one section this year. The types of linear equations we will be reviewing how to solve are: two step equations involving adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing; equations with variables on both sides; equations involving the distributive property; and equations involving fractions or decimals. All of these will be solved using the properties of equality (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division). Remember that you will be doing the same operation on both sides of the equation. The video above demonstrates how to solve one of these equations.
Students began the class by taking notes over some example equations. We corrected our assignments from last time first, then went over the notes together. Students then completed a practice worksheet in class and then were free to work on their assignment for Tuesday.
