September 15

Hours 1, 5, 6, 8: Today we will be learning/reviewing order of operations (some of you might remember Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally or PEMDAS). One of the most common errors with order of operations is always doing multiplication first and then division. This is not correct. The correct method is to do parenthesis (or other grouping symbols) inside out, exponents, multiplication AND division from left to right, addition AND subtraction from left to right. Homework for the weekend is to finish 1.2 Practice B (Evens only).

Hour 2: We got a little behind because we spent so much time on our textbook inventory so today we will be doing the lesson over interpreting graphs. Homework for the weekend is to finish 1.1 Practice A.

Hour 3: Today we will be learning about scientific notation. It is important to remember that, when written correctly, a number in scientific notation is a number between 1 and 10 multiplied by a power of 10. The homework for the weekend is to do Practice 11 1-21 only.
