Academic learning at home resources have been created to provide opportunities for students to engage in meaningful learning experience during the school closure. Below you will find a list of activities that your child can complete both independently and with your support.
Learning Logs are to be completed each day when work is done. These logs will be turned in at the end of the week to your teacher. Your teacher will be in contact with you this week. If you have any questions, please contact your teacher.

Practice adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing integers.
(ex. Adding: 5+6=11; (-5)+(-6)=-11; 5+(-6)=-1; (-5)+6=1)
Equations (Source: https://openupresources.org/math-curriculum/) Solve each of these equations. Explain or show your reasoning.
2(x+5) = 3x+1
3y-4 = 6-2y
3(n+2) = 9(6-n)
Equal Averages (Source: https://plus.maths.org/content/Puzzle) There are several different notions of average: the mean, the median, the mode and the range. If you work out each of these for the set of numbers 2, 5, 5, 6, 7, you'll notice something interesting — they are all equal to 5! Find another set of five positive whole numbers where mean = median = mode = range.
