Work independently to complete the in-class

work on Combining Like Terms

Your teacher will monitor your progress while

you work

When you finish, please work on Math Minutes,

Complete corrected homework, or Read your

choice book

Do Not raise your hand. Look at your notes for

help or skip the question and work on a

different question until your teacher comes to

your desk.

What is something that I learned in today’s

lesson that I didn’t know how to do that I

now know how to do?

I wonder…
