Homework for Tuesday, Dec 3

         "Who are those guys???"
  *meet the bad cowboys and the  good cowboys.
          (in honor of Patrick)

Assignment:  Commutative and Associative Properties with Negatives ws

*Keep it SIMPLE!!!!
*Today we focused on how it works, NOT what an equation looks like.  We never want to forget the "rules" again, eh?
*Follow the homework directions precisely:
Step 1) commute only;

 *look at and commute the yellow and blue (on the worksheet it says, "red") cowboys into the blanks at step one.  DO NOT ADD THEM YET!
Step 2) total positive and total negative;  Now add them within their associated groups.
Step 3) Answer.  Make sure to indicate whether it is positive or negative (blue or yellow cowboys?)  ... who wins?!?!?
*For #5 Mavis, write the steps out yourself in whatever way works for you.

HERE is a copy of the worksheet!
