These past two weeks, the grade Pre-Algebra students have been learning about how to add, subtract, multiply, and divided integers. Remember those old days of “a positive times a negative is a negative”. That’s what we are doing. But we are also now using integers when we have expressions that need to be simplified using the order of operations. Students got the opportunity to work with Algebra Tiles when we started learning about integers.
6th grade students have been learning how to find the Least Common Multiple (Denominator) and will soon be using this to add fractions with different denominators.
This week, we will begin collecting data so that we can learn how to input this into Tinker Plots.
