HOPE EVERYONE HAD A GREAT WEEKEND!
Today we are going to go back and take a pre-test that I should have given at the beginning of our Algebra Unit. Please don't stress this will not count as a grade it will only show me what you know and do not know. Some of the material on this pre-test has already been covered in class and should be a review for everyone.

BREAKING NEWS!
New York (CNN). At John F. Kennedy International Airport today, a Caucasian female (later discovered to be a middle school mathematics teacher) was arrested trying to board a flight while in possession of a large number of pencils, a ruler and a large notebook.
According to law enforcement officials, she is believed to have ties to the Al-Gebra network. She will be charged with carrying weapons of math instruction.

ARE YOU GOOD AT SOLVING RIDDLES?
TRY THIS:
A man wanted to get into his work building, but he had forgotten his code.
However, he did remember five clues. These are what those clues were:
- The fifth number plus the third number equals fourteen.
- The fourth number is one more than the second number.
- The first number is one less than twice the second number.
- The second number plus the third number equals ten.
- The sum of all five numbers is 30.
- What were the five numbers and in what order?

11/08/2011 HOMEWORK
Complete the following worksheet. Follow the directions carefully. I will be looking for all 4 steps. So don't forget to underline, circle, box, write.
YIKES!!!!!
It seems that everyone is struggling with writing expressions. So we are going to continue talking about them today in class. We are going reviewing some keywords for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division by playing a quick version of Family Feud.
Next we are going to review our steps for working word problems.
1.) Underline the question.
2.) Circle the important information.
3.) Box the keywords.
4.) Write the expression to be worked.
***In all the problems we are working with right now there is not enough information to solve the problems so please don't let this confuse you. We need practice finding the correct expression before we can apply that to solve major word problems.***

IT REALLY IS WEDNESDAY
It really is Wednesday. I keep thinking its Monday and refer to Mondays homework assignment as if it were Friday's, even though I never assign homework in Fridays. I am all messed up.
With that out of the way, we are going to Jump right into Algebra Land. Today in class we are talking about Translating words into math. Which means we will be reading mathematical sentences and transforming them into mathematica expressions. All of the lecture information will be below including a homework assignement. I do apologize because I never give Wednesday homework but we are a day behind, so maybe we won't have homework tomorrow night. Fingers crossed.
