We started the day with a homework check, quizzing on three questions. If you didn't have your homework complete, then it is do tomorrow for 9/10. Remember you will lose one point each day the assignment is late!

We continued practicing adding and subtracting unlike fractions for the remember of the class.

There was no homework tonight.

Monday, September 25

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.
