4AB Math Class
With Ms. Ramsey 10-26-16
Hope all is well. I haven't given any math homework recently because fractions are going very well in our class, and I do not think any additional practice outside of class is needed! You are receiving my weekly newsletter early because I will be out Friday and Monday for a wedding in California. Don't worry, I have put together some work for my students to practice all the skills we have learned in fractions thus far. So far, many of my students are getting the skills taught right off the bat, which is awesome! So far we have learned:
What a fraction is, how to find equivalent fractions, fraction of a set, Adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators, and adding fractions with unlike denominators. So far the most difficult lesson the students had a challenging time with was understnading fractions of a set. I have provided some examples from our curriculum below.
When I return we will learn about subtracting fraction with unlike denominators, improper fractions, and mixed numbers! I have already introduced these to them, but we will learn them more in depth in the week to come. Let me know if you have any questions :)
Love,
Ms. Ramsey
