Today we completed notes and practiced Adding and Subtracting Unlike Fractions:
Here are the notes and the examples we completed:
Homework was assigned- Complete # 13-20 tonight and expect three of these for a Homework Quiz tomorrow! Also I have shown you the answers for 13-16. Check your work on these four and complete the rest, 17-20.
Here are the notes and the examples we completed:

Today we reviewed the steps for adding and Subtracting Like Fractions- same denominators.
Then we discussed what we do when the denominators are not Like. We said we have to find the Least Common Denominator or LCD of the two fractions. This will lead us into tomorrow where we will have to add and subtract Unlike Fractions
We talked about how the LCD and LCM are the same thing! When we find the LCD all we are doing is finding the least common multiple of the numbers in the denominator's position.
No Homework tonight, but look for some tomorrow evening.

Today we reviewed comparing fractions and practiced using the visual models as we did on Wednesday.
Next we completed a Friday Check for identifying parts and types of fractions, and comparing fractions with a visual model.

Today we completed :
Bellwork: Identify the parts of a fraction and types of fractions.
Next we worked on visuals for fractions. Students used fraction manipulatives to represent the fractions and then they draw two fractions to compare them.
We will continue comparing fractions tomorrow.

Finished working on Self Assessments. All students should have those turned in tomorrow, Wednesday, September 19!
Tomorrow is the start of Unit 2- Fractions
Look for a Friday check this week on parts and types of fractions, comparing fractions using visuals, and finding the LCD- Least Common Denominator.
