Today we discussed rates - These are ratios that compare two different units. Students brainstormed a list of rates (Minimum Wage is $10.25/hour; Speed limit on the highway is 100km/hr etc.)
Homework: Do 2.5 Rates and Do Ratios Pre-Test for tomorrow.

Sadly Ms. Gesner was in a meeting today - But when I dropped by everyone seemed to be working productively. Hooray!
Although I said you should be finished all questions I will be happy if you have finished:
Pink Sheet - #4-17. The other questions can be finished tomorrow and over the weekend.

Remember:
1) Get rid of brackets by using the distributive property
2) Gather like terms (add up all of the variables)
3) Solve using the balance method (do the same thing to both sides)
Homework:
Solve the following 2 equations. Show your work step-by-step.
#1) 5( x + 6 ) + x = 54
#2) -2 ( -2x + 1 ) = 10

Dundas Square Bonus Question
The City of Toronto recently introduced "Scramble" cross walks at several intersections downtown.
http://wvs.topleftpixel.com/08/08/29/
Using Google Earth, find a picture of the intersection of Yonge and Dundas. Using the scale bar, find a good estimate of the distance to cross East/West and the distance to cross North/South.
Draw a diagram to represent the intersection. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the length of the diagonal.
How much distance does it save you to cross on the diagonal relative to crossing in the traditional way.
