Math
This week in math we'll be focusing on adding and subtracting linear expressions. These lessons will lean heavily on our previous lessons involving like-terms and distribution. Adding linear expressions will be covered on Monday and is relatively simple if students have mastered the aforementioned skills. Tuesday and Wednesday will be spent on subtracting linear expressions - still easy, but students will always need to remember to add in the "invisible 1" to distribute -1 on the second expression. Once that becomes a habit, subtracting linear expressions will be just as easy as adding them. They'll be quizzed on Thursday. I will sadly be out of town on Friday as I'm in my friend's wedding, but 9/23 is our first IB Focus day at West End this year. For one half of the day, some students will have math and science while others will have language arts and social studies. The other half of the day will be spent at assemblies/incentives/workshops. Science This week in science we'll be continuing our unit on cells with a focus on cellular processes - mainly diffusion, osmosis, and active/passive transport. Students will be making real-life connections (ex: comparing diffusion & equilibrium in cells to the aroma of flowers spreading throughout a room) to strengthen their understanding of these processes.
