We started off with some warm-ups that were one step equations... which led to a cool conversation/play time where we experimented with two- and multi-step equations. This was not at all what I had planned for today... but we rode the teachable moment! We're headed in that direction soon, so we'll consider today a bit of a preview.
But we're not out of the woods with Word Problems though! :) No homework!
And I must acknowledge the late post. The latter part of my day was spent in my role as fourth year advisor on a mini-retreat with the fourth years. AND, Pre-Algebra will not meet tomorrow due to Adolescent Issues Forum. Until Thursday!
