Dividing Fractions

Skip
Flip
Multiply
Reduce

Today we talked reciprocal and how to divide fractions.  Before starting, make sure you convert all mixed numbers into improper fractions and add any 1's under whole numbers.  Basically, you don't divide them, you skip the first fraction, flip the second one, change the division sign to multiplication, then multiply and reduce.  It's that easy. 

To wrap up the week we played a variation of count to ten, but I re-named it "Survivor Edition" so students could choose another to remove from the game.  It was fun and the students thought it was fun.  Also, we talked about the aspects of sportsmanship, game play, and not over-reacting to getting removed.  Great life skills. 

Next week, pod seating and finishing up the Chapter. The test will be on Thursday now due to the snow day. 

Hug your loved ones and cherish the time you have with them.
