8th graders are finishing up Chapter 2, Equations & Inequalities. This past week we have taken what we know about solving equations and have been solving inequalities. Almpst everything is the same except instead of an equal sign (=) inequalities have greater than (>) and less than (<) signs. They are doing a great job with inequalities. We will spend some time reviewing multi-step equations (a difficult concept, but an important one) next week before testing over this chapter.
Many 8th graders still have trouble with their math facts. It is a good idea to continue to review them, even in 8th grade. I have told students to keep a box of math flash card in their car and to practice them when they are traveling a short diatance. A couple of minutes each day can help a lot!
