Time for Fractions!

We have covered all the material on decimal operations. We'll continue to reinforce these concepts as we move forward in the class. This week's discussions will center around fractions. On Tuesday, we'll discuss greatest common factor. On Thursday, we'll use the GCF to simplify fractions. We'll also investigate equivalent fractions through a math mini-lab.

We will continue our mad minutes, so keep practicing your multiplication facts!!!
