Here is the homework for a Monday night:

1.  Math:

Mango and Papaya:  pages 169 and 170

Kiwi:  only 169

Today we are working on writing mixed numbers and improper fractions as decimals.

For example 2 1/10 would be written as 2.1

You might have an improper fractions such as 11/10.  You simply could divide numerator and denominator like we did in the last unit to get 1 and 1/10, then write it as 1.1
