Greetings one and all,
Here is the homework for a Monday night:
1. Math: All groups pages 157 and 158
*We're now working with the opposite of what we did on Friday. On Friday we were making equivalent fractions by multiplying both the numerator and the denominator by the same number. 2/3 can be made into 4/6 if we multiply both by 2.
*Today, we are working to find the Simplest Form of each fraction by using division. For example:
8/10 if we divided both the numerator and the denominator by 2 we would get 4/5.
2. Social Studies: Map test Thursday over the southwest region
*Unit Test Friday over the southwest chapter 10
3. Science: Unit test and vocab cards will be due Friday
*New Words Their Way were handed out today.
That's all for today.

Greetings one and all,
Here is the homework for a Tuesday night:
1. Math:
Kiwis: Just page 151
Mango and Papayas: Pages 151 and 152
We worked on using fraction lines today in class, and looking at the way we can blend 1/2, 1/4, and 1/8 altogether on the same line.
On number 1 on page 151 we ONLY need to record greater than or less than symbols. It is recommended to use the fraction line (IT WILL HELP), but you don't need to write anything on there.
Problem 2 forces you to record the letter on the number line.
Don't forget on 3 and 4, the oranges are easily the heaviest fruit, and the apples are clearly the lightest.
Come ready to ask questions on Thursday.
2. Don't forget you have Science and Social Studies tests next week Thursday and Friday.
3. Study Words Their Way Tonight!!!
That's all folks,

Greetings one and all,
Here is the homework for a Monday night:
1. Math:
Welcome back. We started Unit 7 today. (Comparing Fractions with different denominators)
Remember our two new ideas:
1. If the fractions have different numerators, but the same denominator, then whichever fractions have the greater numerator is BIGGER!
2. If the fractions have different denominators, but the same numerators, then we need to look at which denominator is smaller, because that means it has BIGGER pieces/parts.
Homework for all groups: pages 149 and 150
2. Social Studies:
Study guide was made in class today for the Southwest Region. Map test will be Thursday, April 23.
3. Science:
Test and Vocab Cards will be due for all groups on Friday, April 24.
4. Words Their Way is BACK and better than ever. Words went home tonight, test will be Friday.
*Important WHITE parent note with dates for the end of the year went home tonight!!
