This week in 7th grade we are continuing to work on our second unit on solving algebra equations. During this unit we started in unit two with the distributive property and then solving simple one step algebra equations. The second part of this unit, which is part of unit 7 in the textbook, is to apply these skills to more complex algebra problems that require multiple steps. We started this today, after our quiz, and went over how to solve two step equations and discussed how it was like the reverse order of operations and that they have to add or subtract before they multiply or divide. For the rest of the week we will add more steps in the algebra order of operations process. Tomorrow we will add distributing and combining like terms to solve algebra problems. Lastly, we have spent a lot of time in each lesson talking about how to write an algebra equation for a word problem. On Thursday we will continue to work on this skill and work on writing some pretty challenging equations.

Quiz next Wednesday October 28th on sections 7.1, 7.2, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6 in the textbook
