Today we had tons of fun running around Kidsport!
They will be tired tonight! Thank you again to all of those families who
support our Spring Fundraiser. I will have a grand total for you tomorrow!
MATH:
Today we looked at estimating products and quotients.
When we have a division sentence such as 63/7=9, the divisor is 7, the 63 is the dividend,
and the 7 is the quotient. When we
are estimating it is important to remember that we are making a reasonable
guess. That means that your answer may not be correct! We also need to remember
our rounding rules to help us use easier multiplication or division; 0-4 round
down and 5-9 round up. Here are some examples; 7.01 x 9 = 7 x 9 = 63 &
25.78 x 2 = 26 x 2 = 52. For division examples are; 9.8/5 = 10/5 = 2 &
18.29/3 = 18/3 = 6. We can also use our benchmarks to help us; 0.25, 0.50, and
0.75.
Fractions and Decimals:
Fractions and decimals:
Comparing Fractions:
Lowest Common Denominator
Key points to remember:
Numerator is
the number on the top part of the fraction.
Denominator
is the number on the bottom part of the fraction.
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.
Cross-multiplication -
we begin by multiplying the first
numerator with the second denominator. Then we multiply the first denominator with the second numerator.
For example; 3/5 and 2/4. We multiply 3 x 4 =12 and 5 x 2 = 10. Our new
fractions are now 12/5 and 10/4. Whichever fraction has the bigger numerator is
the bigger fraction, so from our example 3/5 is greater than (>) 2/4. For
fractions that have the same denominator we do not have to do anything but look
at the numerators.
Fractions
to decimals - 3/10 = 0.3, 15/100 = .15, 125/100 =
1.25. We also need to keep in mind that we can covert simple fractions as well.
For example; ¼ - .25, ¾ = .75, 4/5 = .80.
Remember to keep things out of 10 and 100! We can also put mixed numbers
into decimals as well. For example; 2 ½ = 2.5, 2 ¾ = 2.75.

UNIT OF INQUIRY:
Today was our Kidsport trip. Our summative begins on tomorrow and will
