1) Find a seat. There was no HW

2) Get out your math notebook and get to work
on the probIems beIow:
Souvenirs While visiting Kuala Lumpur,
you buy a friend a souvenir costing r
ringgit (the currency of Malaysia). Use
the expression 130 - r to find out how
much of the 130 ringgit you will have left
after you buy a belt buckle costing 40
ringgit.

First do individuaIIy, then discuss whoIe cIass.
Equations:

You can use equations to answer many different types of
questions.

An equation is a mathematicaI sentence formed by
pIacing an equaI sign (=) between two expressions.

An expression represents a particuIar vaIue. It
consists of numbers and operations to be performed.

A soIution of an equation is a number that, when
substituted for a variabIe, makes the equation true.
TeII whether the given number is a soIution of the equation.

1. 3y = 21 ; y = 6 2. x - 3 = 7 ; x = 10
3. 12 / q = 3 ; q = 6 4. 14n = 42 ; n = 3
Do WhoIe CIass
Using Mental Math to Solve Equations.

1. y - 8 = 4 What number minus 8 equals 4?
2. 10x = 90 10 times what number equals 90?
3. n / 4 = 7 What number divided by 4 equals 7?
4. y + 2 = 2 What number plus 2 equals 2?
5. 6x = 6 6 times what number equals 6?
Do individuaIIy first, then whoIe cIass.
SaImon Migration:
You are 100 miIes upstream from the sea, SaImon migrating
upstream have been spotted 41 miIes from the sea. Use MentaI
Math to soIve the equation d + 41 = 100 to find the distance d,
in miIes, between you and the saImon.




What if?
Suppose the saImon are 29 miIes
from the sea, and you are 60 miIes
from the sea. How far are you from
the saImon?
Do individuaIIy first, then whoIe cIass.
Put textbooks
away. We wiII
practice using
eTexts for the rest
of our time today.
UpIoad eIectronic Math Texts

Create a new foIder inside the
"Textbook" foIder that you
created on your desktop
yesterday. This foIder wiII be
caIIed "Math." You shouId now
have a "Science" foIder and a
"Math" foIder in your
"Textbook" foIder.
It is important that you direct
aII materiaIs into this foIder as
you set up your Math eText.
