This week we are going to be working on properties. These are the rules/ foundation for equations. They help MATHEMATICIANS to know that when you add, subtract, multiply or divide on both sides you have to conduct that step based on a property. Unfortunately, this is a memory item that students have to learn and not just popping something into the calculator which is much easier. But most students know that 4+3 and 3+4 are the same thing, they just might not know that it is the commutative property which makes that ALWAYS true. Properties for 7th grade math only deal with adding and multiplying.
Use the following link and review your student's notebook for additional information on the properties: https://www.cliffsnotes.com/study-guides/algebra/algebra-i/preliminaries-and-basic-operations/properties-of-basic-mathematical-operations
Additionally, on the resources page there are a few videos which we will use in class. While reviewing this information at home it may be necessary to watch the videos again because they do provide a great deal of information.
