Using Distributive Property to Solve Problems -- part 2

We continued with reviewing the strategies and methods which students used with solving the given problems (see 11/30 post for copies of the problems). Most classes have only 1 or 2 problems left to review together, which will be done tomorrow along with review of last night's homework.

Some students did not complete last night's homework -- so they have one additional night to redeem themselves and get it done for tomorrow. Process grades were given and updates will be made on Powerschool after they demonstrate completed work.  I can't stress enough the importance of taking the responsibility to attempting given homework. The practice with manipulating numbers, solving problems, or explaining one's thinking is in each student's best interest to understanding math.
