Comfort Level with Mixture & Percent Problems & Algebraic Manipulations Discussion
Question Description
Discussion Prompts: Discussion IA
(1) Comment on your comfort level with mixture and percent problems (Sections 2.2 and 2.6). What do you find to be particularly challenging about these problems, and how have you tried to address these challenges? (A good response here should be several sentences long.)
(2) Comment on your comfort level with the algebraic manipulations needed in sections 2.4 (Formula Manipulation) and 2.7 (Properties of Exponents). What do you find challenging about these problems? What tips do you have for your classmates in approaching these problems?

Please use this space to respond to the two discussion prompts I have provided and for any questions you have about course content from Chapter 2. If you have an answer to a question that someone else has posted, please share your answer here. This is an opportunity to help each other.
Please remember course norms when posting to this discussion. Be polite and respectful. Use full sentences and proper English spelling and grammar.
Instructor response time: When a response from me is called for, you can expect a response within 48 hours on weekdays. I will not generally post replies immediately in part because I want to give everyone a chance to post answers to questions here.
NOTE: This is a graded discussion. You are expected to participate in the discussion of this material. You should post to this discussion board at least 6 times (including your responses to the discussion prompts).
———–
I will count four things as good posts: (1) Appropriate responses to the discussion prompts, (2) (Nontrivial) Questions about the material that have not already been asked, (3) Answers to questions that have not already been answered, and (4) Posts that contribute to the sense of community and the sharing of information. Note that (4) is a fairly broad category, and I will be fairly generous when considering your posts, but the final decision for whether a post is deserving of points is mine. Please err on the side of too many posts rather than too few. These discussion boards are here for you to help each other and to learn from each other.
