The Week: 4/7 - 4/10

No School on Friday!!!

Math goals

Don't forget to work on your math goals.  Mine is to increase my Khan Academy World of Math by 5 percent.  Just to keep myself honest, I am posting my current progress.  Don't forget to check in with me in two weeks to make sure I met my goal.  As you can see, I'm at 45% right now.

Day 2:

I have increased one percent.  Whoopie!  Here is an example of a problem that I have to do.  Unfortunately, I missed this one.  Can you guess why?  I'll give you a hint.  It's a kind of mistake I warn you about all the time, and you have all of the skills you need to spot it.  Can you?

Here are the notes we took about our multiplication knowledge.  Which of these ideas are most helpful to you?  Here is the video explaining how.  http://www.educreations.com/lesson/view/multiply-a-mixed-number-by-a-fraction/19949870/?ref=app

Here is how we worked number three. Your work should look just like this.
