NMPED Theme: 10/19/15 Reviewing solving with fractional coefficients and Combining Like Terms Class/Subject: Pre-Algebra Week of October 12-19 Unit Standards Content Standards 8EE7 CCSS Math Expressions and Equations 8.EE7. Solve linear equations in one variable. CCSS More Math CCSS Other (Math, Listening and Speaking) 2. Solve linear equations with rational number Analyze and solve linear equations and pairs of coefficients, including equations whose solutions simultaneous linear equations. require expanding expressions using the distributive property and collecting like terms. 1. Give examples of linear equations in one variable with one solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solutions. Show which of these possibilities is the case by successively transforming the given equation into simpler forms, until an equivalent equation of the form x = a, a = a, or a = b results (where a and b are different numbers).

Solve linear equations involving fractional coefficients. AGENDA: • Students will review first practice with Fractional coefficients, see the affect that NOT attending to precision had on their grade, and attempt to improve with Fractional Coefficients Practice • Students will practice subtracting integers T 10-20 ASSIGNMENT: • •Fractional coefficient practice 2 - HOMEWORK IF NOT FINISHED SUMMARY/EXIT: What was one important thing your teacher wanted you to learn today? DO NOW: 1. Use circles and squares and triangles to identify the like terms in this equation: -8x2 + 2x+ 6 – 3x2 + 3x = 12 – 4x + 5 3 Week of Aug 31, 2015 – 8th Math NMPED 10/19/15 W 10-21 2.

Draw a line in front of each + or – sign to separate the terms 2. Color all like terms the same color 3. Put each group together (Commutative Property) 4. Simplify each group into one term **Practice the 4 steps with 2 more problems (5) – turn in • Grade: Fractional Coefficient page (10) •Finish Subtraction of Integers page (10) ASSIGNMENT: Subtraction of Integers page SUMMARY/EXIT: Turn in 2 practice problems on Combining like terms DO NOW: 1) Take out your Do Now papers 2) Simplify this expression: -4y2 + 5y + 12 – 2y -6y2 – 2 ***Use the 4 steps from yesterday to separate the terms, color “code” them, Group them together, simplify LEARNING TARGET: 8.EE.7b I can identify like terms I can rewrite expressions into a simplified form by combining like terms I can explain the essential understandings about combining like terms. AGENDA: Review 3 essential understandings: (Students will fill in blanks for these and glue into booklets from previous day) 1. Only like terms can be combined. 2. Always put variables in alphabetical order, then order by exponent 3. Always move the operator signs with the terms. Practice combining like terms- use learning activity(Partners) 1. The teacher will demonstrate color coding the strip, cutting it apart, and reordering using the Commutative property, and simplifying the expression 2. Students will practice with one of their strips – Partners will check the color coding and re-ordering before pieces are glued Then students will write the simplified expression to the side 3.Students continue the activity with their partners **Do the first 1-4 together, with modeling and guided practice Final 6 students will do on their own Practice combining like terms with Puzzle from “teachers.Henricho.k12.va.us” ASSIGNMENT: Finish 6 practice problems on your own, 4 Week of Aug 31, 2015 – 8th Math NMPED 10/19/15 Th 10-22 F 10-23 Combining like Terms Puzzle SUMMARY/EXIT: 3x + 5y – 2x – 6 – 3y + 1 DO NOW: 1.Answer the Exit question 2.
