Just a few reminders...

Open-note quiz tomorrow on 1-4 through 1-8!

The quiz will cover:
Absolute value
Adding/subtracting integers
Inductive reasoning & patterns

Please be sure to have your notes organized & ready for tomorrow. If you're nervous about adding/subtracting with negative numbers, be sure to go back through the blog for step-by-step reminders.

- Positive + Positive = Positive
- Negative + Negative = Negative
- Adding two numbers with different signs: Find absolute values. Determine difference between
  absolute values. Use the sign of the number that has the greatest absolute value.
- Change to addition and add the opposite (KEEP, FLIP, CHANGE). *Once you've turned your
   subtraction problem to addition, forget about the subtraction part. You are now solving an addition
   problem and should proceed with the rules above.

Check back tomorrow for our 3 feature questions from last night's homework!
