Boggess’ Wonders

Today we did a classwork grade on adding/subtracting fractions and mixed numbers.  Some students will need to take this assessment or finish it on Monday.
On Monday we will begin multiplying and dividing fractions.  There is no homework this weekend.
I hope all have a safe and fun Halloween.  Trick or Treat!!!

Today we did more practice finding common denominators.
Tonight’s homework is in the Thick workbook, page 136, number 1-10 only
These problems require finding a common denominator but with mixed numbers instead of just proper fractions.

Today in class we learned how to find common denominators when adding and subtracting fractions.  The method we used is called the cake or the ladder method.  In this method we found the Least Common Multiple, a skill we learned in the previous unit, to find the least common denominator.  ( The Least Common Multiple [...]

As a result homework is different for certain students.  All students will receive a worksheet.  Students who receive Practice A will [...]
