Independent Project – As you are preparing a Power-Point style presentation, I want to see at least 20 screens along with, at the very least, a specific selection of the accompanying music and your “dialogue.”  This is not as assignment for “something like this.”  It’s time for the real deal.

Beware the Ides of March ! ! ! ! !

PEMDAS and the properties

Remember you NEED to distinguish between addition and multiplication in your properties.

ex. 0 + 7 = 7 is an example of the
“Identity Property of Addition”
answering “Identity Property” is not good enough

Distributive Property is the only one that does not make this distinction.

EMAIL ME if you have questions.
