# MPM1D Introduction to Solving Equations 2017-10-10

Here’s what we started today: Introduction to Solving Equations

Here’s your homework: https://cdn.kutasoftware.com/Worksheets/Alg1/One-Step%20Equations.pdf

Spend 15-20 minutes please.

# MPM1D Test tomorrow! 2017-10-05

Yup, we have a test tomorrow (Friday). Here is the skills summary booklet I handed out in class today:

Summary – Simplifying Expressions

I’ll be collecting the review work from yesterday before the test. You can bring a calculator, and you’ll need a pencil and eraser. You don’t need your phone. Seriously. Thanks.

# MPM1D Review! 2017-10-04

We’re at the end of the first unit, evaluating and simplifying expressions. I handed out this review task today:

MPM1D Unit 1 Review

Spend up to 20 minutes on that tonight if you’re not already finished. I will be collecting it.

Tomorrow (Thursday) I’ll be showing you some strategies for studying for math.

Friday you’ll have a test during class. You can use a calculator but not a phone during the test.

# MPM1D Multiplying Polynomials by Monomials 2017-10-03

Here’s what we learned today – we’re just applying the distributive property again, but it’s important that we practise the skill. I’m posting this a bit late, but remember that you should have spent 15-20 minutes on these tonight.

09 – Multiplying Polynomials by Monomials

# MPM1D Working with Polynomials 2017-10-02

We’ve learned how to multiply monomials, such as:

$3x^2(-4xy^2)=-12x^3y^2$

(page from that day: 06 – Multiplying Monomials)

We’ve learned about the Distributive Property of Multiplication over Addition:

$-5x(3x^2-8) = -15x^3+40x$

Today we worked on Fractice and then practised adding and subtracting polynomials, such as:

$(3x^2+4x)-(-2x^2+5)=5x^2+4x-5$

Here’s the homework for tonight: 08 – Adding and Subtracting Polynomials

Tomorrow we’ll be multiplying polynomials by other polynomials. Should be fun :)

# MPM1D Exponent Laws 2017-09-26

We started learning about the Exponent Laws today (we didn’t quite finish). Here’s a note to go along with our learning today (including a bunch of practice work).

05 – Exponent Laws
