We also looked at order of operations. The students also had a chance to look at their quiz from last class. Puzzle 48: Tax Collector ![]()
We introduced what are rational exponents. We looked at how to evaluate (simplify) and how to use exponent laws for rational exponents. Handout for more practice for integral exponents. Practice: Chapter 4.3 Page 72 # 1-9 Quiz 1 completed today. ![]()
We did practice for the quiz today after the puzzle.

We looked at how to use prime factorization to find greatest common factor (GCF) and least common multiple (LCM). We also briefly talked about factor pairs. Please make sure to look at the word problems worksheet. Puzzle 25: Ten Rows
We reviewed the different number systems as well as what is a prime number. We then went over prime factorization via the Factor Tree. Puzzle 22: Making Eggs
