Equivalent Fractions, Improper Fractions, and Mixed Numbers

Worksheets (lessons one and two) examining equivalent and improper fractions and mixed numbers are assigned for homework if not finished in class.

The mental math multiplication exercise on the back of lesson two is extra credit. The best way to learn is to teach. Try to find someone at home to teach the commutative property of multiplication (move the factors around to find the product). See if you both would 'take the same commute.'

See you after school for open house tonight.

  1. Reminder: each lesson's target, vocabulary words, and blue boxes are the essential points needed in your notes. You do not have to "copy" word for word; your notes should make sense to you.

    If abbreviations for mixed numbers (MN) and improper fractions (IF) will work, by all means keep it simple. If examples of the vocabulary words help you understand the vocabulary, please be sure to add them to your notes during class discussions.
