1. Before: September 6, 2017
Paul has two dozen Halloween cookies. He will eat three cookies on Sunday. On every day that follows, he will eat a number of cookies that is one greater than the day before. On what day will he find that he doesn’t have enough cookies to follow this procedure?

2. Answer Thursday Sun -3 Mon- 4 Tues- 5 Wed -6 18 cookies eaten
= 6 cookies left over, but on Thursday he needs to eat 7 cookies to continue his pattern.

3. During: Solving Two- Step/Multi-Step Equations
Learning Targets:
I can write and solve two-step and multi-step equations using properties of equality.
I can identify errors and explain the correct steps to solve two-step and multi-step equations.

4. Rules to Remember
When solving an equation, the goal is to get the variable by itself.
Addition and Subtraction are inverse operations. (opposites)
Multiplication and Division are inverse operations. (opposites)

5. REMINDER!
The equation is like a balance scale. Whatever you do to one side of the equation must be done to the other side of the equation.

6. How to solve two-step equations
“Undo” the operations in the reverse order of the order of operations.
You are using the work backwards strategy
In order of operations we do multiplication or division first, then addition and subtraction. When solving an equation we do the opposite!

7. Integer Rules to Remember
Adding Integers
Same sign= add and keep the sign
Different sign = subtract and keep the sign of the larger number
Subtracting Integers
Keep, Change, Change
Follow the rules for addition
Multiplying and Dividing Integers
Same Sign = Positive Answer
Different Sign = Negative Answer
