Fractions and Stuff

Today we'll review some things about factors. 

• The Factor Game

Also, we need to reinforce some fraction operations, more specifically getting common denominators. 

Finally, a small big ideas assignment for fractions to check knowledge.  

More rational numbers and LCM

Math 1

More Least Common Multiple (LCM)

Father of the Bride Hot Dog LCM issues (movie)

We also started the assignment for Big Ideas on this topic:

Helpful tips:
 1. Write down the problem (now you own it and can do it)
 2. Show what you did, usually an error can be easily found and you don't have to start over completely.

Math II

We started exploring subtracting rational numbers.  Lots of fractions and decimals.

Adding Rational Numbers and GCF

Math II

More adding rational numbers, it will look like this:

Math I

Today we continue the quest down the rabbit hole into LCM (Least Common Multiple) .

It's like GCF, but a little different.

Here's the birthday cake method for both:

Star Assessment today

Today we are completing the first STAR assessment of the year.  There are three in total and we use this test to check the progress of each individual student.  The results help us form decisions on if intervention is needed and how to best keep students on track.

Two videos for Math I

Integers and Exponents

Math II

Here's a video that might help explain more about subtracting integers.  Remember, this is a new concept for you.  Perfection is not the goal right now, it's about understanding and working towards be precise.
