Fraction Benchmarks

*In Math we are really working with fractions! We have used Fraction Bars, Fraction Circles, and everyday we convert fractions into decimals, percents, and fractions using our Calendar Math work. We have talked a lot about factors, Greatest Common Factors (GCF), and Least Common Multiples (LCM). We will continue working in this unit for the next several weeks and WE NEED YOUR HELP!! Please check over your student's homework each night. This unit is not going away. Many of our students are struggling with finding like denominators. A lot of this struggle can be traced back to a weak understanding of multiplication facts!! Please help your child memorize facts 1-12.
* Remember there is No SCHOOL next Thursday and Friday. This is a short month for us, so it is important that students are here ON TIME, EVERYDAY!
*Gator Bowl Tickets will be on sale until Friday! This is a great New Year's Day Activity!
