In Algebra, we broke into small groups and worked through some multi-step equations. These problems require some simplifying, such as combining like terms or distributing, before they can be solved with inverse operations. We worked from a sheet in class, doing the odds, and a number of the evens were assigned for homework. (#6, 14, 18, 20, 22, 24) Earlier I posted a list of resources if you'd like some help with solving equations.
The Geometry students broke themselves up into three groups. With one group, I re-taught how to find the area of a sector. In another group, they worked with partners on sector area problems, getting help as needed. The third group moved ahead, working on finding arc length. Homework tonight was practice with sector area and circle vocab.
On Thursday, we will find arc length as a class, and will take a quiz on Friday. If students are still struggling with sector area, they need to see me in Office Hours or get help from someone! Also, I've posted some resources in an earlier post for any circle stuff students would like to review.
