A Whole Other Level

We took our work with equations to a whole other level today with multi-step equations. Multiple variables on both sides of the equations, combining like terms, moving across the equals, whew! This is quite the abstract stuff--and your kids, again, are doing swimmingly.

A large chunk of class time was spent engaged in solving these equations. They take a bit of time and careful concentration to get them... but they are fun! It's a like a line by line puzzle almost. :)

I asked the kids to pick ONE problem to work on over the weekend, just so they don't forget all of the wonderful things we've learned this week. I'll get that docs posted up on Class Docs in a bit.
