Solving Decimal Equations

Students completed a worksheet that helped them review the distributive property. We then talked about how to prepare for tomorrow's concept test. Students should look at the problems on the practice test we took last week, as well as the sections from chapters 2 and 3 in the book that we've covered.

Our lesson today has us solving more multi-step equations, with an emphasis of clearing the decimals from the equation. To do this, students must remember to multiply both sides of the equation by the same multiple of 10. Because students will be rounding some of their answers in tonight's homework, check steps will not be required.

Tonight's Homework: Lesson 3.6 ( 20 - 38, FCO) and page 159 ( 55 - 64 ). Be sure to study for the concept test tomorrow!
