We reviewed finding LCM using both listing and prime factorization. Students then practiced independently on pages 579 and 580.
Homework tonight: pages 581-582 (students must show work for numbers 1-3 on page 581)

Today we reviewed finding equivalent fractions and reducing fractions to lowest terms. We also worked on finding the least common multiple (LCM) using two different methods.
Homework: page 577 numbers 3, 6, 9, 12 students must show work for credit Today we reviewed and took notes on finding equivalent fractions and reducing fractions to simplest form (lowest terms). The notes can be found below. Everyone participated to find equivalent fractions to two target fractions (1/2 and 2/5). This is a huge component of the fractions unit, so practice at home on math facts will help students get better at these two skills. A reminder that IXL can K3 and K4 can be done to practice.
Homework: Practice 5-5 worksheet: "Lowest Terms" or "Unscramble Fractions" Today we worked with finding equivalent fractions and reducing fractions to lowest terms. We reviewed the need to multiply or divide both the numerator or denominator by the same number so that it kept the value the same. Students practiced finding the GCF before dividing as well as choosing any common factor and continuously dividing until the only common factor was 1. Students can practice IXL K3 and K4 for these skills.
Homework tonight: page 567-568 from the book Today we reviewed for our quiz on Friday by playing a Kahoot! game. Everyone participated and we discussed the answers to each question. Tomorrow we will make our crystals (don't forget your jar!).
Today students filled out a study guide on saturation and concentration of solutions. We reviewed as a class and students had the opportunity to fill in missing or fix incorrect information on their study guides. Below is a picture of a completed study guide (my copy) in case students lose theirs.
Investigation 2 & 3 Quiz on Friday Today in math we did a shout-out to the Super Bowl games of the past with some fun (and sometimes scary) statistics :) See the sheet below.
No homework, fractions groups start tomorrow |
