This week students will be continuing on with their exploration of fractions. We will begin covering division of fractions with an emphasis on proper fractions, whole numbers, and mixed numbers. Students will learn how division of fractions is really just applying their understanding of reciprocals and multiplication of fractions, which we have covered in the previous weeks. Students will receive their Ticket to Test on Wednesday, September 10th. This will be due before they take their weekly quiz on Friday, September 12th. Students are also expected to be completing daily bell work and keeping this bell work paper in their classroom folder until it is collected on Friday. |
One additional note: I will be updating the gradebook this week to reflect the students' level of mastery with Multiplying Fractions. With midterm right around the corner, it is important that students check that they have demonstrated mastery over this content to the best of their ability. Multiplying Fractions will be the only Standard Score in the gradebook when grades are sent out for midterm even though some students will have begun to show mastery of Dividing Fractions. If you have any questions about your student's grade in PowerSchool, please let me know.
