Homework
Finish spelling lesson 25
Inquiry into Mathematics - Daily 10-11
WE WILL DO THIS TOMORROW Today we focused on subtracting fractions; very similar to Friday's lesson except today we subtract instead of add. If the denominators are the same, you can simply subtract the numerators together. For example 2/3 - 1/3 = 1/3 and 4/6 - 2/6 = 2/6 or 1/3.
If the denominators are not the same then we have to find a common denominator. For example, 3/4 - 4/8 = ? You need to find a common denominator. You can ask yourself, what number does both 4 and 8 go into? The answer is 8, therefore you only need to worry about changing the fraction 3/4, as 4/8 already has a denominator of 8! You need to multiply the 4 to make the denominator 8. Thus, 4x2= 8. As we always do, we need to multiply the numerator by 2 since we multiplied the denominator by 2. This gives us a new fraction of 6/8. Therefore, we can now subtract the fractions 6/8 - 4/8 . Then you simply subtract your numerators -> 6-4 = 2. So, your final answer is 2/8 or 1/4.

Points to Remember
Fractions
3 is an example of a proper fraction. In any fraction the top
4 number is called the numerator. The bottom number is called a denominator.
7 is an example of an improper fraction…big number on top.
5
11 is a mixed number. It has a whole number and a
2 fraction.
Equivalent fractions are fractions that are equal to each other. For example, ½ = 2/4=6/8.
12/16=3/4.
To find an equivalent fraction with a greater numerator and denominator, multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number. For example, 5/12 = 10/24 (2 x 5 and 2 x 12) and 25/60 (5 x 5 and 5 x 12).
To find equivalent fractions with a lesser numerator and denominator, divide the numerator and denominator by the same number. For example, 24/60 = 4/10 (24/6 and 60/6). When we find an equivalent fraction by dividing, you simplify the fraction. 24/60 = 4/10 = 2/5 (4/2 and 10/2). This is the simplest form as the only factor into both 2 and 5 is 1.
We learned that to convert a mixed number fraction to an improper fraction you must multiply the whole number by the denominator, and then add the numerator. ** The denominator will always remain the same**. To convert an improper fraction into a mixed number you must divide the numerator by the denominator and then subtract the numerator.
Adding fractions - if the denominators are the same, you can simply add the numerators together. For example 1/3 + 2/3 = 3/3 or 1 whole and 2/6 + 3/6 = 5/6.
If the denominators are not the same then we have to find a common denominator. For example, 1/4 + 4/8 = ? You need to find a common denominator. You can ask yourself, what number does both 4 and 8 go into? The answer is 8, therefore you only need to worry about changing the fraction 1/4, as 4/8 already has a denominator of 8! You need to multiply the 4 to make the denominator 8. Thus, 4x2= 8. As we always do, we need to multiply the numerator by 2 since we multiplied the denominator by 2. This gives us a new fraction of 2/8. Therefore, we can now add the fractions 2/8 + 4/8 . Then you simply add your numerators ->2 + 4 = 6. So, your final answer is 6/8.

Music – Mr. Oliver Tuesday and Thursday 11:30-12:10
Gym – Mr. Orr Monday, Wednesday and Friday 1:00-1:30
Good morning and welcome to online learning! I hope you have all had a restful March break! The way Phys. Ed. will run for the coming weeks is a little different than regular school hours. We will have a “live” time online on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 1:30-2 in my Phys. Ed. Discord channel. Here I will share expectations and requirements for the week and answer any questions students may have. There are two requirements for the students to complete throughout the week. These requirements include some physical activity and a health activity.
For the physical portion, each morning on Discord and on the classroom blog I will post a physical activity challenge. It will be something simple and I will do my best to show the students exactly what I want them to do. Students will need to record themselves completing the challenge and send it to me either on Discord or by email (if they have a YouTube channel they can upload it to YouTube and send me the link). To go along with this challenge I have also attached a tracker for students to keep track of their physical activity. Students are expected to be active for at least 30 minutes a day. This can be done at separate times throughout the day or all at once. The activity challenge I post can be a part of it but it will not be long enough to cover the full 30 minutes, so students will need to choose their own activity to fill the rest of their time. Once they record their activity on the calendar it will need to be signed by a parent or guardian. At the end of the week, students will take a picture or scan a copy of their completed weekly calendar with signatures, and send it to me by email to prove they have been active every day! So, go out and be active, but remember to continue practicing your social distancing and healthy habits!
For the Health portion, students will be given a task on Monday that needs to be worked on throughout the week and submitted on Friday. I will explain the task, work through questions and give examples during my live online time in my Discord classroom on Mondays from 1:30-2. I will also be available anytime from 9-3:45 on both Discord or by email to answer any questions students have or to give support. I will give reminders about these tasks daily on the classroom morning blog and on Discord, and I will be sharing my experiences through this time as well. Our first weekly health task is outlined below. I will give further details on Monday during our “class time.”
French – Mme. Rawan Everyday from 2-2:40
Today we will be talking about student’s future plans to get them ready for tomorrow's class which, is the revision of the future simple. Today will be an oral class. Student’s questions will be answered via Discord text channels and voice channels will be used.
Have a wonderful day!
Mrs. Hocevar
