Parents,
The students have to complete pg. 427 for math homework tonight. We worked on adding and subtracting mixed numbers with like denominators. The hardest part was converting fractions that are greater than 1 (improper fractions) to mixed numbers to add to the whole numbers that are already in the problem. We did some of this last night. For example, when adding 5 and 3/4 + 2 and 3/4 the whole numbers become 7. The fraction equals 6/4 which will need to be changed back to a mixed fraction. The result is 1 and 2/4 which can now be added to the 7 we already have which is 8 and 2/4.
Reminder, there are still some students who have not handed in the permission slip for the field trip.
Have a good night.
