Great Big Book Of Algebra Chapter 2

I have finally figured out what I want your second chapter to be in your GBBOA. I would like you to create a conversation between two people talking about combining like terms and the distributive property. You will use xtranormal to finish this chapter. Ok here we go.

In your post The Great Big Book of Algebra underneath your poems you will create Chapter 2. Here you will type out a script between two people having a conversation.


Biff "Hey how is it going"
Mortimer "It is going fine"

You get the picture!!

Now these two people are having a conversation about two algebra questions. The questions are:

• n+3-5n+12

One person thinks the answer is -6n+15. Is the person right or wrong. In the script please show the steps to solve the statement and what the mistake was.

The second question is:

• 2 + 4(3n+8)
  

One person again thinks that the answer is 12n + 10. Is the person right or wrong. In the script please show the steps to solve the algebraic statement and tell what the mistake was.

1. REMEMBER you need to still be in your original post.
   
2. You need to call this Chapter 2 Combining like terms and the Distributive Property
3. You need a script typed into the chapter between two characters. They will be talking about the two questions above.
4. You need to create an xtranormal movie to be the end of your chapter. Please use the script of you chapter to be the script in the movie. You then can cut and paste the blog text into your movie!!
5. This is due December 19th. Add a label to your post XTRANORMAL
   

Distributive

Ah a little computer homework. Please play the following game. It is a game of battleships. Please have a notebook handy. You will be expected to write out 3 questions from the game. For each question please show the step by step process of solving it.


Here is a second matching game. Please do the same as the first game. While you are playing select 3 questions and show how you arrived at the answer. You now should have 6 questions in your notebook.


This is a movie and a quiz. Please watch the movie and then take the quiz. You need to have 4 questions solved and put into your notebook. You will be expected to leave a short comment behind at the blog. In your comment please leave a complete how to of a solution to one of the questions that you have solved today.
Thank you and that is all. Please leave a comment behind and enjoy your computer math class.

The Great Big Book Of Algebra Chapter 2

Have you ever wanted to make a movie? Well you are going to. You are going to use this application xtranormal. To make the movie... well that would be telling. You will need to sign up and figure out how to use the application. I will show you how later in the week but you can test drive this program with your poetry.

Your movie will be talking about combining like terms. You will create a movie that will involve characters having an argument or a conversation about combining like terms.

The program is as easy as typing a script and allowing the characters to talk. Play around and you will have the official assignment on Wednesday.

Here is my quick movie. It took 10 minutes. Yours should be more interesting than mine.

Help your blog mentors.

Over the past few weeks there have been mentors commenting on your posts. These preservice teachers from the University of Regina also have blogs. It would be great if you took the time to leave comments behind at their blogs.

Remember not everyone has the same sense of humor as you. It is important that you think before you comment. Thanks for blogging with me and being some of the best commentors ever.

Here are your blog mentors

Jocelyn Skogberg

Nicole VanCaeseele

Sara Thibeault

When nobody comments it is hard to stay motivated and want to learn. Part of the reason we blog is to have others read our posts. You would be amazed at how many people read your posts. Most of them do not leave you a comment behind. It is like preforming for this audience below. All empty seats.

These preservice teachers gave you an audience. Now it is your turn. Please leave comments when you read their blogs. Be their audience. Fill the stadium that is their learning blog and motivate them to learn.

Thanks in advance. You really are the best blogging classes ever.
