Parents,

Tonight's math homework is on adding and subtracting mixed numbers on pg.427 - 428 in their math book. The subtraction is very easy since they only need to subtract whole numbers and the numerators while keeping the denominator the same. The adding takes on another step in many cases when the fraction is a fraction greater than 1 or also called an improper fraction. The video below will help you assist your child, if needed. Below you will find this week's G Force Gazette.
