This week will be focused primarily on three skills: multiplying a fraction and a whole number, multiplying two fractions, and representing multiplication of fractions with a model. Today (Monday), we will start class by looking over our quizzes from Friday and updating our unit checklists so the students can keep track of their own progress throughout the chapter. The remainder of class will be covering "Fraction times a Whole Number." Tomorrow we will practice modeling the product of two fractions, and Wednesday we will practice finding those products without models. |
Because this is a short week with no school on Friday for the students, we will move up our weekly quiz one day. Students will be given their Ticket to Test on Tuesday, August 26 rather than Wednesday to still allow them two days to complete it. The weekly quiz will be on Thursday this week rather than on Friday. Remember we have no school on Monday for Labor Day, so we will continue exploring multiplication and division of fractions on Tuesday next week. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
