We are nearing the end of the week, so that means just a few more days and we'll be back to school. If you are working on your packets, please keep all of your work together, and bring them back in those same yellow envelopes. Also, please bring your blog work!
Do the best you can, and get help from family and siblings when possible.
The assignment for today:
SWBAT (Student will be able to) read the following word problems, show work by drawing diagrams or pictures, and solve. The lesson will be on fractions.
Lesson: Remember, if you have two fractions with different denominators, you cannot make a comparison. You have to change the fractions into equivalent fractions. Example: 2/5 and 5/10. When you change 2/5 to 4/10, then you can say that they are not equal.
Assignment: Please complete the following problems with your understanding of fractions.
1) Martin made two loaves of pumpkin bread the same size. He cut one into 12 equal slices. The other was cut into 16 equal slices. Which slices were larger?
2) A pumpkin bread recipe needs 3/4 cup of apple sauce. Martin has 5/8 of a cup of sauce. Does he have enough?
3) What is the numerator, and what is the denominator in: 5/7 ?
4) True or False? When the numerator in a fraction is 1, the fraction is in the simplest form. Give an example.
5) True or False? When the numerator is not 1, the fraction is not in the simplest form. Give and example.
6) Write each of these three fractions in simplest form: 4/8, 16/24, 12/48.
7) Patricia has 11 pencils that she wants to share with her friends. Can she give the same number of pencils to each of her friends? Provide examples with your answer.
Yes! You made it! Just two more days, and then you would have completed all of your Holiday Blog assignments. Be proud of yourself!
Ms. Bhopla.
