Today, we reviewed addition and subtraction of integers with handouts. I handed out "Integer Notes" and specifically asked for students to keep it in their math binder for the entire year as a reference. We worked on the "Dallas Rancher" handout. It was graded and handed back for corrections. Students had individual conferences with me and should know what their grade is currently and how to improve in math. Homework is to study your vocabulary words and to finish the handout given in class.
I had morning and evening tutoring today. Next week, we will begin morning tutoring only. It will be on Thursdays from 7:30-8:00 a.m.

Remember: Addition
