Hello 8-B!
Today we talked about solving systems of equations using substitution and we also reviewed the special cases where there could be either infinitely many solutions (the same line) or no solution (parallel lines).
In 1st and 7th periods we also worked on word problems that can be solved using a system of equations.
Homework for all three classes is the front and back of the worksheet titled, “Solving Systems: Graphing and Substitution” – please use grphing on the front side only – read carefully and follow directions. See you tomorrow for more FUN with systems!!!

FYI… this is one of the many reasons why I LOVE working at McClure Middel School!!!
got hope???
You may have heard that there is a t-shirt sales campaign going on at McClure and not know the background of the ”why”. At McClure, we have several students dealing with significant medical issues (among those cancer and organ transplant needs). We as a school community wanted to reach out to help those families and to show our support for them financially and visually.
Each advisement group was asked to develop a theme – one line – that would show visual support for these students as we wear the shirts, but also generate conversation about why we are wearing them. Each advisement group submitted suggestions and the student body as a whole chose the winning theme “got hope?”
We are currently selling the t-shirts for $10 or a bracelet that says got hope? for $3. You can purchase both as a set for $12. All proceeds from the shirts will be given to these families to meet the additional financial needs that they are incurring. The families may choose to give the funds to the charity of their choice if they personally don’t need the funds. One of the families has been assisted tremendously by the Rally Foundation and may earmark the funds they receive for that organization.
This is a time where we can all step out and make a personal difference to students at our school. We hope that you will purchase a shirt and talk to your friends and neighbors about purchasing one as well to help these families! The shirts are on sale for the next few days and are available in black with white print, black with hot pink print and brown with turquoise print. Checks may be made payable to McClure Middle School PTSA.
Thanks for your support!

Hello 8-B!
Today we had a shortened schedule due to early release day. We learned how to use the substitution method for solving a system of equations. Please see Chpter 6 lesson 2 in the red algebra 1 textbook (online) if you were not here today!!!! Here is the login info:

Homework for tonight was given in class, but here they are in case you were not here today. We will be checking them in class tomorrow:
Solve these systems using the substitution method:
A.) 6x – y = 12 and y = -9x + 3
B.) 2x + y = 3 and -5x + y = -4
C.) 3x – y = -5 and 2y = 6x – 20
D.) x – y = 2 and 8x + 2y = -4
See you tomorrow!

Hello 8-B!
Today we started learning how to solve a system of equations by graphing to find the point of intersection. Homework for tonight is to complete the following:
In the Algebra 1 textbook (online only) – page 386 (1-17). We started this in class today, so you should only have a few problems remaining. Here is the login information (also given out in class today)

Hello 8-B!
Today we did someCRCT review practice in class. Homework for tonight is to finish any of the CRCT reviews that you did not finish in class. Those of you who need to do this know who you are – there were only a few of you. If you were absent today 1st and 7th periods, you have to make up both reviews 3 and 4.
