Basic Assumptions

POSTED AT 10:33 AM

Today we began working with real numbers, specifically the properties involving equality, addition and multiplication. Please begin to familiarize yourself with each property and learn how they work within algebraic expressions and equations.  You will be tested on all of the properties at the end of this chapter. Flashcards or flip sheets would be helpful.
 
Problem of the Day:
Tom rides the bus part of the way to school and then he walks the rest of the way.  He walks five minutes longer than he rides.  The whole trip takes 27 minutes.  For how many minutes does he walk?

    Hi Mrs. Curran,
    I was just wondering if, in the directions, it doesn't say that we need to state the property, should we still name the property? Thanks

    We only need to write proofs when it specifically asks in the directions, right? (Not where it just says simplify)

    Yes, Scott and Ian, just write the properties when the directions tell you to write the properties.
