Happy November!!!

Algebra I

Today we discussed
In class today, we reviewed both the Chapter 2 and Chapter 5 tests.  Overall, everyone is doing well!  We moved into our discussion of polynomials, and specifically, multiplying monomials.  Recall the rule of multiplying powers with the same base:

a^m + aⁿ = a ^m+n

^Example:  2⁵ + 2³ = 2 ⁵⁺³ = 2⁸
