Dr. Matthew Ripley, EDD

This week we have continued working in algebra in our Unit 6 work of Equations and Inequalities. This week focused on writing and solving one-step equations. Next week we will continue working in algebra as we focus on writing and solving one-step inequalities. Attached is everything we will cover and topics you can discuss with your student. Please encourage your child to have a positive, growth-oriented attitude towards mathematics and their learning.

• Encourage them to ask questions – both at home and in class. Sometimes, an answer to a question will generate more questions. That’s how you know they are learning!

• Encourage your child to embrace challenges and remind them that every challenge is an opportunity to learn something new.

• Celebrate successes – both small and large.

Today we start our new unit on integers (whole numbers), rational numbers (fractions/decimals), and the coordinate plane. We will be learning in this unit for the next 3 weeks. Attached is everything we will cover and topics you can discuss with your student. Please encourage your child to have a positive, growth-oriented attitude towards mathematics and their learning.
