Working Backwards

Well, you made it through the first full week of school--Congratulations! Today, we reviewed homework, and briefly talked about another problem solving strategy: Working backwards. Once again, in working backwards, it may be useful to employ other strategies, such as using a model or making a list, to help you solve the problem.

Tonight's Homework: Tonight, you have two parts to your homework. First, complete the brown worksheet focussing on working backwards. Next, complete problems 1 through 4 on p. 796 of your math book. In doing so, be sure to show your work, as the answer is worth nothing without your work.
