Comparing and Ordering Decimals

Today we reviewed comparing and ordering decimal values.

Notes from class:

Class work:

No homework tonight!!!  Hope for school tomorrow!  No need to skip a half day!!!!

Comparing and Ordering decimal values!

Welcome back!  I'm glad to hear that pretty much everyone has their power back and seems to be recovering from the storm.  We started working on our school work again today and it seems like everyone really understood the homework.  Tonight you should do two things:

1) If you didn't get your math test signed and/or didn't correct the problems that were wrong, you should get it signed and correct anything that was wrong.  I will collect this on Wednesday, November 7th.

2) You should complete worksheet 3-3 for homework tonight.  I believe that most of you got quite a bit done in class, so this shouldn't be too difficult.

Please remember that there is no school tomorrow due to the election!  Please encourage your parents to vote and ask them about the voting process, why they vote the way they do, and whatever questions you might have about the election.  You can still learn when there is no school!  I can't wait to vote tomorrow!  This is the 4th Presidential Election that I get to participate in!

Today we talked about comparing and ordering decimal values.

Tonight's homework:

You can also play a game to practice this topic by clicking here or on the picture below.  Try each level!

If you are working on your math test and don't know how to solve a problem, please use the information on the blog to help you!!!!  It's there for a reason!!!

Comparing and Ordering Fractions

There are three basic ways that we can compare or order fractions: 1)  Using logic and just thinking about the values  2)  Comparing by multiplying "Up on a diagonal" as we cross multiply  3)  Finding equivalent fractions with common denominators.

Here are some of the slides from class today and examples for tonight's homework, Comparing and Ordering worksheet.  There are additional example on the worksheet itself and in the notes on the back of the worksheet.  We were able to begin the assignment in class, so you shouldn't have too much homework tonight.  If you are celebrating the holiday tonight and tomorrow and therefore are unable to complete the homework, please just let me know.  Thanks!

I hope that this information helps you MOOOOOOOve through the problems (ha ha ha) with success!

So you want to study for the final test of the year...

Good!  You should!  This test is manageable, but the more you prepare, the better you will do!

Want to practice a particular skill?  Go to this link and print out worksheets (and answer keys) on various topics!  Adding, subtracting, and comparing and ordering!

Want to work on word problems?  This link has worksheets with word problems.  The site asks you to sign up, but I was able to view and print the worksheets without signing up.  There's also a game on the bottom of the page!

More printable worksheets from EdHelper.com!

Examples of writing expressions and solving word problems from class:

Remember to think of little story problems in your head as you work on these types of math problems.  Examples:

9 + (-7) = ____    Story:  I have 9 dollars (the positive amount) and I owe my friend 7 dollars (the negative amount).  How much will I have left after paying her?  Since I have more than I owe, I will have a positive amount left over, $2.

-21 + (-3) = ____ Story:  I owe Miss M $21 and I owe Mrs. Phelps $3.  How much do I owe in total?  Well, I owe 21 and 3, so I owe 24 dollars, or -24.

13 - (-5) = ____  Before the story, we want to change the problem so that we add the opposite.  The problem would then look like 13 + (+5) = ____ and the story would be that I had 13 dollars in my pocket and 5 dollars in my purse, so I therefore have a total of $18.

Please review your previous assignments, use that purple sheet to practice (answers are in this post), print out extra review sheets for any topics that you want to practice, watch the videos, play the games and read the notes from this previous post.

Good Luck!  Study!  I know that you can all do a great job on this test!  Finish off the year with a bang!

Integer introduction!

Pretty much everything I could say about this topic was said in class.  Notes from today's lesson are below and down at the bottom of the post, you can find the game we played in class!

The Game!

Tonight's homework is to complete the two worksheets even though many of you finished in class.  Good luck and have a great day!
