Class Topics: 12.01.11


In EDM, students continued to work with adding and subtracting mixed numbers.  Today's calculations included mixed numbers with unlike denominators which is slightly different than last night's homework.

Students were separated into flexible groups to work through five different stations.  The stations included:
  1. MJ 136 and 137
  2. Fraction Word Problems
  3. Fraction Review Cards
  4. Mixed Number Calculations
  5. Challenge Story Problems
Visual Representation of Subtracting Fractions w/ Unlike Denominators
In Pre-Algebra, students finished their graphical representations for the data that they selected in class yesterday.  Students presented their graphs and findings to the class.  This served as a review for Friday's Chapter Four Summative Assessment.
  • In class, students:
    • Collaborated together to complete a task.
    • Developed appropriate graphical representations for a set of data.
    • Presented their finished product to the class.
  • HW:
