Tonight's homework is a worksheet on adding and subtracting fractions like last night. They are asked to change improper fractions to a mixed fraction when needed. For example, lets say the answer to a problem is 3 and 10/8. They can do this one of two ways.
The 10/8 is an improper fraction so they can divide 8 into 10 which is 1 and 2 left over. The remainder is the numerator that goes over the denominator of 8 giving you 1 and 2/8. Add that to the 3 you already have and you get 4 and 2/8.
The other way is to multiply the denominator of 8 times the whole number 3 to get 24. Then add the numerator of 10 to it to get 34/8. Divide this and you get 4 with 2 left over that goes over your denominator so you are still left with 4 and 2/8.
Below is a link for the homework if your child forgot it.

The Reader Response is due tomorrow.
Reminder tomorrow is Family Night at the book fair. They are welcome to wear a 70's outfit. If they don't, then they are expected to wear their school uniform.
Have a great night.
