Inequalites

Hello 8th grade parents.  This is Mr. Hotaling and I am back to teaching your children.  This week in 8th grade we just finished working on the Math portion of the Calder Mobile Project.  They completed the math portion where they used rods, string, and alligator clips to create a version of a mobile and learned about how the fulcrum is really an equal sign and the equation is (length from fulcrum) * (weight of object) = (length from fulcrum) * (weight of object).  Today we finished it all up and watched a video on the Alexander Calder Circus.  We then started our next unit on solving inequalities.  We will be reviewing how to solve one step and multi-step inequalities.  We will also be working on some logical reasoning type questions as well.
