Greetings Math Students,
Here is the update for Friday's math class:
OK. We are 1/2 way through the fractions unit. Ha...do you like how I used a fraction there?!!
Today, we took a bit of a break, we corrected homework, and got a little extra practice in working with fractions and the problems that occasionally bug us.
We also did a reflection writing, in which we analyzed what we truly understand, and what we are still struggling with, plus, what we're looking forward to going ahead.
Remember...math will be in our own classes for the next two weeks during our M-Step testing period. So I look forward to being back with you all in Unit 8.
Take care.

Greetings Math Students,
Here is the homework for a Tuesday:
Kiwi Group: Only page 160
Mango and Papaya Groups: Both 159 and 160
We are working on comparing fractions with unlike denominators.
We could use any of 3 methods. Use your cheat sheet to compare. Use cross-multiplication to compare. Or switch to common denominators to compare.
Get ready for a mini-quiz Wednesday.

Greetings math students.
Here is your homework for a Tuesday night:
Kiwis: Just page 151
Mango and Papayas: Pages 151 and 152
We worked on using fraction lines today in class, and looking at the way we can blend 1/2, 1/4, and 1/8 altogether on the same line.
On number 1 on page 151 we ONLY need to record greater than or less than symbols. It is recommended to use the fraction line (IT WILL HELP), but you don't need to write anything on there.
Problem 2 forces you to record the letter on the number line.
Don't forget on 3 and 4, the oranges are easily the heaviest fruit, and the apples are clearly the lightest.
Come ready to ask questions on Thursday.
Take care.

Greeting Math Students,
Here is the homework for a Monday night:
Welcome back. We started Unit 7 today. (Comparing Fractions with different denominators)
Remember our two new ideas:
1. If the fractions have different numerators, but the same denominator, then whichever fractions have the greater numerator is BIGGER!
2. If the fractions have different denominators, but the same numerators, then we need to look at which denominator is smaller, because that means it has BIGGER pieces/parts.
Homework for all groups: pages 149 and 150
That's all folks,
Mr. K
