This Friday, December 12 is the last day to submit the U3T4 Knowledge Application.

Next week, on Tuesday and Wednesday, we will be having our First Semester Final Exam.

The purpose of a final exam in my class is to provide one last opportunity for a student to show understanding of one or more of the first semester's essential standards. This is a cumulative assessment. Each of the essential standards will be assessed -- the goals listed in PowerSchool. The final exam can only help a student's grade (i.e. it gives them a chance to "check a box" in PowerSchool for one or more of a their first semester goals)

After completing the CYUqs, which were important for everyone to do?

On the blank side, write: First name, last name, U6T3

Divide using a model. Check your answer using Keep. Change. Flip.

A. 5 ÷ 2/3

B. 3/4 ÷ 3

Make the scale factor explicit

1. Check-your-understanding questions:

Do your own, you choose where to start, check your work with the students around you. If you need help, get help. If someone needs help, give help.

2. Make sure that you have notes in your math notebook (things to remember)

3. If you get stuck, choose to persevere: review your thinking, try another approach, ask for help, search

After completing the Check-your-understanding questions, which were important for everyone to do?

Pick one problem that you did and show your work to you neighbor.

The point of VC is to work and learn in a team -- with each other.

Unit 6 Test is this Friday 12/12

After completing the Check-your-understanding questions, which were important for everyone to do?

Pick one problem that you did and show your work to you neighbor.

On the blank side, write: First name, last name, U6T5

First, model the division. Then, check your answer with the standard algorithm.

My gas tank has 7/8 of a tank of gas in it. I use 1/4 of a tank of gas to drive to my daughter's sports events -- and I will need to go multiple times. How many trips can it make?

Improper fraction (e.g. 7/4)

An improper fraction is a fraction where the top number (numerator) is bigger than or the same as the bottom number (denominator), meaning it represents one whole or more than one whole

Mixed number (e.g. 5 3/4)

A mixed number is a way to write a number that's bigger than one by combining a whole number and a proper fraction

In order to divide or multiply a mixed number, you must change it into an improper fraction (so the entire number stays together)

To change a mixed number into an improper fraction, multiply the whole number by the denominator, then add the numerator to that result to get your new numerator, keeping the original denominator the same.

If your quotient (the answer to a division problem) is an improper fraction, convert it into a mixed number.

To change an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the numerator by the denominator: the whole number result becomes the whole part, the remainder becomes the new numerator, and the denominator stays the same.

If you want to review changing mixed numbers into improper fractions (and vice versa), grab a worksheet and feel free to work on it on your own.

A major source of confusion when using a model to show division of fractions is….

The History of Division (according to Mr. Olsen)

The Unit 6 Fraction Relationships Test is tomorrow

The real-life division or fractions knowledge application is due tomorrow

Click the link below to open the unit's graphic organizer:

Complete each box by adding notes, examples, and annotations (notes that explain what is happening in your examples). Refer to your notes, CYUqs, entry tickets, vertical collaboration, Google Search, etc. Work together. Help each other.

You may use the notes you make on this graphic organizer during the test (nothing else).

Unit 6

Take out your Chromebook and some things to write with. If needed, you may use your graphic organizer. No multiplication charts, watches, calculators, or pencil pouches.
