We began with our assessment over Essential Learning #3 (key, pdf). Please, please, please come in for help on this if you are still having difficulty.

We then reviewed solving a system of equations by substitution and learned a new method, solving by elimination (lesson, pdf).

Your homework for Friday is:

1. In the lesson (pdf) on Atomic Weights, we got as far as solving for H. Try to complete that problem by substituting in the value of H into either original equation and then find C, then check it in the other equation. We'll go over this on Friday.
   
   
2. Prepare for the Solving Systems of Equations by Graphing Assessment. There are a variety of ways to do that including, but not limited to: review the online pre-assessment; review your notebook and/or the openers and lessons posted on the blog; review the video, work some practice problems in your textbook or that you find online. You can, of course, also get help from me, another math teacher, a teacher in the Study Center, a peer tutor in the Study Center, or a parent, sibling or friend. Do whatever works best for you, but make sure you're prepared. The expectation is that you should all be able to do very well on this assessment.
