Today
we started our unit 2. We modelled
using “des jetons” how to multiply integers.
·
A
review sheet is for homework to review adding and subtracting integers. This is grade 7 material. We will go over all these questions in class
tomorrow. This will allow us to tailor
the review to the questions students have trouble with in the homework.
·
Our
first assignment will be due Friday. “Récapitation
1” has been handed out. Students can
work on this assignment during class and during student enhancement. Extra help will be day 3.
