GPS Algebra Support Classes
We continued to review Rationals today. You were given a list of all of the topics that were covered in your GPS Algebra class over Rationals. The list included:
1) Simplifying Rational Expressions
2) Multiplying Rational Expressions
3) Dividing Rational Expressions
4) Adding Rational Expressions with Like Denominators
5) Subtracting Rational Expressions with Like Denominators
6) Adding Rational Expressions with Unlike Denominators
7) Subtracting Rational Expressions with Unlike Denominators
8) Solving Rational Equations (by cross multiplying and multiplying by the LCD)
9) Finding Excluded Values
We then went over nine problems. We did one at a time and you were given a chance to try them on your own first before we went through them together in class.
Have a great weekend!
GPS Algebra Classes
I began class by giving you a worked-out solution key to Wednesday's homework assignment (page 144 # 10-18 all). I then explained how the assignment was graded and handed it back to you. There were a total of nine problems. I counted each problem ten points and gave you ten points just for turning in a paper. The problems were graded for completion and not for accuracy. You received full credit for each problem as long as you followed directions by writing the problem from the textbook, showing work, and providing an answer.
You were then given the Radial Review Worksheet.
The rest of the class period was used to take the Rational Expressions Quiz using iRespond. If you finished the Quiz before class was over, you were able to begin working on the Radical Review Worksheet.
The homework assignment for today is to complete the Radical Review Worksheet.
*Remember that you have a Quiz over Radicals on Tuesday, November 1st. The Quiz will cover:
1) Simplifying Radical Expressions
2) Multiplying Radical Expressions
3) Dividing Radical Expressions
4) Solving Radical Equations
Have a great weekend!
