While we have not quite been able to let our work on Fractions and Integers go this week, we will work around them and perhaps a different perspective will help to clear up the remaining confusions. So while we are converting fractions to decimals and back we have oppourtunites to improve our skills of reducing fractions. While we have decimals on our brains we will take a shopping trip. On our trip we will have the chance to add, subtract and muliply decimals as we take advantage of sales discounts and at the end pay the sales tax. We will then have a number day where we will talk about Zero. How we can get there, what it is and what it is not, as well as talking about absolute value. All of which helps to support our Integer work last week. Along with our Math work we will keep working at improving our note taking and organizational skills.
Congratulations to all of you who are seeing the value of the homework. Great Job!
