Chapter 5 Lesson 7 Subtracting Distributive and Like terms in the standard of Expressions and Equations.

Good evening Girls and Boys
Here are the videos on chapter 5, lesson 7.
This Lesson is about Subtracting Linear Expression. We have already define what Linear Expression is 
(See blog for chapter 5 lesson 6).
One thing to look for in this lesson is the negative sign in front of the second parenthesis.
You should always make sure you distribute the negative sign by doing “double multiply”. 
“Double Multiply” is our second secret word.
The first secret word is in one of the video. Happy hunting!

Once upon a time a farmer went to market and purchased a fox, a goose, and a bag of beans. On his way home, the farmer came to the bank of a river and rented a boat. But in crossing the river by boat, the farmer could carry only himself and a single one of his purchases - the fox, the goose, or the bag of the beans. If left together, the fox would eat the goose, or the goose would eat the beans.
The farmer's challenge was to carry himself and his purchases to the far bank of the river, leaving each purchase intact. How did he do it?

Chapter 5.6 Adding Linear EXPRESSIONS in the standard of EXPRESSIONS and EQUATIONS.

Good evening Girls and Boys

Here are the videos on Chapter 5, lesson 6.

Lesson 6 is about Adding Linear Expression. Do you see a smaller word inside Linear?? Bet you do.....what is it? Write this down in your graphic organizer.

A linear expression is an expression in which the 

variable is raised to the first power. 

Here are some examples:

5x, 3x + 2 are Linear Expressions.

5x^2, 3x^2 + 2 are Nonlinear Expression as the x is raised to the power of 2.

All we are doing when adding linear Expression is 

combining Like Term within that Algebraic Expression.

When we graph a Linear Expression it will always

 be a straight line.

Our secret word is “Linear Expression”

Chapter 5.5 Simplifying Algebraic EXPRESSIONS in the standard of EXPRESSIONS and EQUATIONS

Good evening Girls and Boys

Welcome back. I hope you have a good break. 

Here are the videos on chapter 5, lesson 5

Lesson 5 is about simplifying Algebraic Expression. I think that this is a very simple concept.

All we are doing when simplifying an algebraic expression, is 

combining term that are similar also call “Like Terms”.  

Here is one thing I want you to pay attention to: 

the variables have to be the same and have to have the same power.

X and X2 cannot be combine because although they are the 

same variable or base, the powers are different, so therefore, these are NOT like terms.

Psssss.....your secret words: Combining Like Term:

Chapter 5.4 DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY in the standard of Expressions and Equations

Good Evening girls and boys.

Here are the videos for chapter 5.4. It is about the Distributive Property, it is probably one of the most important concept in algebra, and very useful. You will be using it a lot, so let's work together on mastering this concept.

The Distributive Property deals with a number that

 multiple a sum or a product.

 I think of Distributive Property as "Double Multiply"-This is your first secret word.

 In this lesson we will be using the Distributive Property to rewrite expressions ( remember the standard: Expressions and Equations.)

Our vocabulary term for this lesson is Distributive Property and the second secret word for this lesson is "Distribution."

Remember to take notes in your graphic organizer, and write down all the questions that come up. Bring them to class 

so we can go over them.

I am very excited to be here, and I want to add that

 Algebra is my favorite subject. 

So let have fun with variables, expressions and equations.

This is Talia's little kitty, Luna.   So sweet.

For homework: read the blog, take notes in your graphic organizer and watch the videos plus post in your portfolio for Chapter 5.4!

Chapter 5.3 Properties in MATH in the standard of Expressions and Equations

Good Evening to Everyone,

I am writing this blog but our own Mr Boubacar is doing his very FIRST videos!! So please be patient with him and let him know politely if you find a mistake.  I look back at my first video and it is a scary thing... Let's encourage Mr B on with doing another one soon.....

In this lesson 3, we are working on some important Properties in Math.  Properties are laws in math that allow you do perform certain tasks.  These properties do not apply to some operations (+ - x /) but not all for every property.  So pay special attention to these properties and the operations for each one.  You may be familiar with these.  There are 2 properties that are on page - they are the Communtative Property of + and x

Associative Property of + and x

These 2 properties deal with numbers that flip or parenthesis that flip.  Your job is to figure out which property for which operation.  Have you noticed which operations DON'T have these properties? Please enter the 2 operations that do not use these properties....Write these down in your Graphic Organizer.
