MATH:
Today we continued working on yesterdays lesson. We
began by taking up the homework and then completing some worksheets involving
changing a mixed number into an improper fraction and vice versa. A proper fraction is a fraction where the
smaller number is the numerator and a bigger number is the denominator. For
example, ½, 3/5, 5/8. An improper
fraction is when the numerator has a bigger number and the denominator has
a smaller number. For example, 12/7. A mixed
number has both a whole number and a fraction. For example, 1 ¼. Please see
below instructions on how to change mixed numbers into fractions and vice
versa. I have handed out the same instructions to the students and they have
placed it in their math duo tangs.
Please use the links below to watch the videos and
assist with homework.

Today we played a weather, erosion, and deposition sorting game. Each
group was given the 3 categories and then 16 cards with different information.
Each group had to correctly place each information card under the proper
heading. Each group did a great job. Then we had some time to explore some rock
and mineral collections, as well as explore some books on rocks and minerals.
