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.
