Algebra equations

This week in 6th grade math we finished up our unit on proportions, ratios, and percents and we are moving onto our final unit on algebra.  We started the week off by taking our unit 8 test, which took two days to complete because there was a great deal of computation on the test.  For the rest of the week, we will begin to learn about the distributive property.  We will start by looking at area models and then apply that to creating a formula for the distributive property.
