Parents,
Today's math lesson was 7.8 on comparing mixed number factors and products. Students need to understand that when a mixed number is multiplied by a fraction, the product will be less than the value of the mixed number. When a mixed number is multiplied by 1, the product will be the same as the mixed number, and when a mixed number is multiplied by a mixed number, the result will be a bigger mixed number than the factors. The video below will explain this, as well.

The homework tonight is on subtracting fractions with unlike denominators. They are using fraction strips to find the common denominators in order to subtract them. We will be teaching the students how to convert and make equivalent fractions using a fraction of one soon. The modeling was done first to give a visual for the students. The video below will assist you, if needed.
Today's math lesson was on problem solving with decimals using the different types of operations. The strategy the students used was, "Work Backwards." The video below should assist you, if needed. Have a good evening.
Today's math lesson had students dividing decimals by decimals. Students were instructed to move the decimal in the divisor over and then do the same in the dividend. Then students would use the partial product strategy to find the quotient and add the decimal, if needed, at the end.
