8th Grade Lesson Review (9.29.10)

On today students continued worked on combining like terms (terms with the same variable and same exponent) in Algebraic Expressions. Below you will find examples for further practice and understanding of the concept.


















Students also worked on problems that used the Distributive Property.
The Distributive Property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac for all real numbers a, b, and c. For example, 2(3 + 5) = 2(3) + 2(5).

7th Grade Lesson Review 9.28.10

On today we reviewed and practiced Prime Factorization and Greatest Common Factor together and seperately, along with reviewing the test on today.  Below you will find a few examples on how to find the GCF using the listing method and Prime factorization to find the GCF.





















The following allows you to practice both factoring and finding the GCF and LCM using a venn diagram with the factor tree.
