Happy Tuesday! Topics for January 24th

Algebra I

Today we discussed
Today's discussion was about rational expressions with like denominators.  We are moving into adding and subtracting complicated rational numbers, which are handled just like fractions.  To be able to add the expressions together, just like with fractions, we must have a common denominator.  Keep in mind that when you subtract a rational expression, you must distribute the negative to all pieces of the subtrahend.  Also, as with "regular" fractions, you should make sure your answer is in simplest form.

Sections Covered in Textbook
1) 8-5: Rational Expressions with Like Denominators (pages 322-325)

Video Tutorials
1) Adding Rational Expressions with the Same Denominator

Pre-Algebra

Today we discussed
Our discussion of rational numbers moved on to long division of rationals.  Keep in mind that you must divide by a whole number so you might need to multiply the divisor and dividend by a power of 10 to make that happen.

Sections Covered in Textbook
1) 6-7: Rationals: Dividing Decimals

Video Tutorials
1) Long Division with Decimals



Assignments
1) Pages 226-227 #'s 3-29 odd.
