Happy Tuesday,

Glad to be here especially with the forcasted weather report for tonight and tomorrow morning. Hope we make it in tomorrow also.

Anyways in Math we are moving on with the operations with FRACTIONS. Yesterday we reviewed multiplying fractions( multiply the numerators and denominators across then simplify)and we will go over the homework for any questions you may have doing this independent work. Did you feel that multiplying is easier than adding or subtracting fractions? I like not doing that extra step and not getting a common denominator in multiplying fractions. Today we will move on to the last operation- division with fractions, mixed numbers and whole numbers. Bet that was not a surprise to any of you!
We will define RECIPROCAL and find the tricks to performing this operation. Hint: related to multiplying with fractions!!!

I will be checking the corrections and parent signatures from the Chapter 4 test passed back yesterday so be ready with that work also.

The classwork- homework for the day is pages224-225 #3,5,6,8,10,11,13,16,21,25,28,29,31,32,35.


The chuckle for the day: If one is not enough, two is company and three's a crowd, what's four and five?

Nine! Hee Hee Hee....

Have a great day and stay tuned to the tv for the weather tomorrow morning. Hope to see all of you on Wednesday - NO MORE SNOW DAYS - .....

FYI: Parent Conferences are coming up next week on Thursday and Friday ( March 6-7). Look for the conference sheets for times slots to the conference coming out in the next couple of days.
