What's Up in Math

The Math teachers on the Incredibles team, Mr. Hon, Mr. Matthew and Mr. Phillips, report that their classes are off to a great start this year. After reviewing computation, we have been working with exponents and using the correct order of operations to simplify expressions (Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally!). Students have worked with variables and are able to evaluate expressions and mentally solve equations that contain variables. Properties of addition of multiplication such as the commutative, associative, distributive and identity properties have been introduced. Students have also worked on finding patterns in numerical sequences as well as writing numbers using scientific notation. Next, students will be learning about integers and how to add, subtract, multiply and divide them.
