Dear
Parent or Guardian:
Students
are often frustrated in math classes because they do not see how they can use
the material in the real world. In our math class, however, we try to take
mathematics beyond the classroom to a point where students realize and
appreciate its importance in their daily lives.
In
Chapter 1, Algebra: Number Patterns and
Functions,
your
child will be learning about problem solving, patterns, prime factors, the
order of operations, variables and expressions, and powers and exponents. Your child will also
solve equations and find the area of rectangles. In the study of this chapter,
your child will complete a variety of daily classroom, notes, assignments and
activities.
Encourage
your child by getting involved and watch their videos. You may also wish to log
on to glencoe.com for
self-check quizzes and other study help. If you have any questions or comments,
feel free to contact me at school.

Parent or Guardian:
One
of the goals of this class is to relate concepts learned in the classroom to
the real world. For example, integers are a part of our daily lives. They are
often used to describe things such as sports scores, temperature, time, and
money. Knowing how to work with integers helps us make important decisions at
work and at home.
In
Chapter 1, Algebra: Integers, your
child will learn about developing a plan for problem solving, about variables,
expressions, and properties, about graphing data, and about adding,
subtracting, multiplying, and dividing integers. Your child will also learn how
to find the absolute value of integers, and write and solve equations. In the
study of this chapter, your child will complete a variety of daily classroom
assignments and activities and possibly produce a chapter project.
Encourage
your child by getting involved. You may
also wish to log on to glencoe.com for
self-check quizzes and other study help. If you have any questions or comments,
feel free to contact me at school.
