MATH:
Today we took up our math review and went over any
problem areas. Our math test will take place on Monday, May 14. Please use the
review to study.
Fractions and Division:
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.
Division
Sentences - 63/7=9, the divisor is 7, the 63 is the dividend,
and the 7 is the quotient.
Estimating
– For multiplication - 7.01 x 9 = 7 x 9 = 63 & 25.78
x 2 = 26 x 2 = 52. For division - 9.8/5 = 10/5 = 2 & 18.29/3 = 18/3 = 6.

LANGUAGE:
Today was our Grade 4 in-class spelling bee
competition. I am so proud of all the hard work that everyone has done
preparing for the spelling bee.
We also continued to practice our Arts’ Night
performance. The song that we are singing is ‘Parents Just Don’t Understand’ by
Will Smith, which is a rap song. For our costumes/outfits, I am asking for jean
(baggy if possible), t-shirts, skater shoes/jogging shoes, baseball hats (we
will wear them sideways), and big gold chains.
Homework:
