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.
