ACT MATH- DO NOW Work on the problem with your partner- make sure to show your work. This problem is on pg. 114 33. A number p is divided by 3 and the result is increased by 3. This result is then multiplied by 3. Finally, that result is decreased by 3. In terms of p, what is the final result? P P+6 P-6 3p 3p+6 Use p=6 and complete the problem using the plug in technique from last week

ACT MATH- DO NOW Why do you think I chose 6? Work on the problem with your partner- make sure to show your work. This problem is on pg. 114 33. A number p is divided by 3 and the result is increased by 3. This result is then multiplied by 3. Finally, that result is decreased by 3. In terms of p, what is the final result? P P+6 P-6 3p 3p+6 Why do you think I chose 6? Step 3 6 6+6=12 6-6=0 3(6)=18 3(6)+6=24 Step 2- 6÷ 3=2 2+3=5 5x3=15 15-3=12 12 is our magic #

ACT MATH-Plug-In Cont’d 1. r= 10 robots 2. She needs 2 pieces of wire per robot, that’s 20 pieces. Each piece is 9 feet, that’s 9x20= 180 feet 180 feet is 180 ÷ 3 = 60 yards of wire The wire roll is 500, so 500-60= 440 yds left on the roll. 440 is our magic number

ACT MATH-Plug-In Cont’d Step 3- 500 - 1/6(10)= 500 -1.67 = 498.333 500-1/3(10)= 500-3.333= 496.667 500 - 2(10) = 500 - 20 = 480 500 – 6(10) = 500 – 60 = 440 500 – 9(10) = 500 – 90 = 410

Definitions Pronoun- Antecedent-

Always check agreement.. Agree in number The SNAKE swallows its prey. The SNAKES swallow their prey. Find the antecedent! This new mobile phone looks great, but they can break very easily. This new mobile phone looks great, but it can break very easily.

A little trickier agreement.. The age of some trees is determined by counting their rings. Subject of “is” is age. Age is singular, but “their” is a plural pronoun…. Why? Unlike the subject in a sentence, the antecedent can be anywhere

Mystery Pronouns In gymnastics, they take off points for bad discounts. Who is they?

Generic Pronoun Shift If one is sick, one should go to the hospital. If we examine this painting closely, one can tell that the artist was left-handed. When people spend all day typing, your hands get tired quickly.
