OBJECTIVE: Solve equations using the subtraction and addition
property of equality. (2-3, Pp51ff)[1.5.6] ACTIVITIES: Model
the process using the procedure for solving equations: 1)
identify the operation; 2) use the opposite operation on both
sides; 3) use the number you need to remove; 4) simplify.
Practice on page 53. NOTES: Measure drill is without the
training aid. HOMEWORK: P586 lesson 2-2, column 2 (will be
graded on the procedure)

OBJECTIVE: Scale Drawing (Review 359ff) [1.5.4][1.3.1][1.3.2]
ACTIVITIES: Students will receive thebasic instruction to do a
scale drawing of their room, from their sketch of 10-3. The
scale will be determined from the length of the base line. All
sketches are to be done on 8-1/2 x 11 plain paper (not graph
paper. All dimensions will be given as full size. Emphasize
the difference between SKETCH and DRAW. NOTES: [Scale Information ]HOMEWORK: Note
- Scale Drawing will be due on 10-11

Problem of the week (check the scoring guide) The problem of the week is due next Monday. Students are to use diagrams, charts, and tables as needed. Explain the process used to solve the problem. Be neat.
See Weekend Homework.
Sample of what your room sketch might look like. Be sure to use a ruler. Calculate your scale dimensions. and keep a record. (You may use a calculator, but keep a list of what you enter.)
