TEST IS MOVED TO MONDAY & TUESDAY WE WILL NOT HAVE THE TEST ON FRIDAY!


Today we had a mixture of events going on.

Mrs. Graff was out at the beginning of the day, so 2nd and 3rd period completed a review sheet with the substitute. I did not want to let the other class periods to feel left out so they received the review sheet too. Then we continued looking at real world problems and how to represent them visually.

Review Sheet is not Homework... It was given to you to help you review! Work on it between now and Friday and we can go over any questions you have.


Here are the two questions we solved and some student work from the class:

This question we solved as a class:

We took notes and talked about how we can solve and represent these problems:

Then we worked on a question individually and discussed in small groups:

Tuesday, October 9

Today we continued to practice Dividing fractions and we solved real world problems in a small group activity.

Here are the problems we solved.

And we have one feature of a Distinguished Bellwork answer for What is a reciprocal?

Monday, October 8

Today we learned what reciprocals are and how to divide fractions:
Parents ask your students, why did Mrs. Graff do a handstand today?

There was no homework today!
