In our Equations unit so far we have identified parts of an equations, translated verbal sentences into simple algebraic equations, learned to solve one-step algebraic equations and how to check our solution.  This is Topic 6 in the students workbook which we will be using a lot.

Week of 4/16-4/20

•      We will be looking at translating verbal problems into two-step algebraic equations.

Week of 4/30-5/4 and 5/7-5/11

•      When we come back from vacation on 4/30, we will review how to solve one-step equations. 
•      We will focus on learning how to solve two-step equations, including problems using the distributive property.
•      Then we will apply all we have learned about Equations to Inequalities.
•      We will move into the next Topic; Analyze and Solve Linear Equations.

Week of 5/7-5/11 and 5/14-5/18 and 5/21-5/25     

•      We will be finishing up Topic 6.
•      We will be starting Topic 7, solving different types of equations which leads into working with slope.

End of May into June

•      We will finish the year with geometry.
•      We will dedicate time to reviewing for the Final Exam.

Final Exam for Pre-algebra will be a timed (90 minutes) test.  It will be on Friday, June 15.
