Past Week...
We multiplied fractions times fractions and mixed numbers times mixed numbers using the model strategy and the algorithm. We solved word problems with these two concepts as well. On Thursday, Dec. 14th, we had a daily grade on these and representing division as a fraction. This paper will be sent home today. We have had to rearrange our schedule because of the Winter Party. So, on Monday, Dec. 18th, we will take the final for this 9 weeks.
Remember to review what the effect would be on a product when a whole number is multiplied by a fraction. We learned the product will fall between the fraction and the whole number. For example, when 6 x 1/2 is multiplied the product is 3. The product of 3 is greater than the fraction (1/2) and less than the whole number (6), which means it comes between the 1/2 and 6. Please review this information during the weekend.
Please make sure to review all notes from Nov. 27th to Dec. 15th.
Upcoming Week...
I have enjoyed working with your children. They have wonderful insight and their work ethic is super! Thank you for all the support and encouragement that you give your children and me. It helps us in class to keep going even when math is hard.
I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and hope that you feel the joy of the season as you take time off from school to be with family and friends.
