Rational Numbers -Diving Fractions

Good Day Girls and Boys,

Today we will be working on Dividing Fractions.  This is the last section we will cover in this chapter, so we are coming to a chapter test on Wednesday, Dec 21!  So let's go over this and make sure we are all ready for the content. 

We have covered this this year when we talked about complex fractions earlier, so this should be fairly familiar.  When dividing fractions, we keep the first fraction, change the division to multiplication and flip the second fraction.  We shorten it to K C F.  And when you are in the operation of division with fractions- turn everything into fractions!  So pay attention to the videos and ask questions if you have any.  

To get ready for this upcoming test, review the videos on NEGATIVE NUMBERS and all of this chapters videos as well.  

Here is Taylor and her sweet nephew, Finley. They are at a farm share and they found 6 precious kittens! 

Homework: Read the blog, watch the videos and take notes in your graphic organizer.

Rational Numbers - Multiply FRACTIONS

Good morning Girls and Boys,

We are moving on with our third operation using fractions, and this is multiplication.  Most of you are very familiar with this, but we are taking it a step beyond and using multiplication with negative numbers!  Yikes, we can do it.  

To multiply any fraction, you multiply the numerators together then the denominators together and then to complete it, simplify the answer.  I find this far easier than adding or subtracting as you do NOT need to find the common denominator.   Have fun.

This is Megan's kitten.  His name maybe Leo but not certain as it really doesn't officially have his name yet!  Get on the ball, Megan and name that kitten!

Rational Numbers- Adding and Subtracting Fractions

Good day Girls and Boys,

We are moving on with Rational Numbers ( all whole numbers, all fractions and the decimals that end or repeat and they are both positive and negative) and using them to solve fraction problems.  Remember, Sadie, FRACTIONS ARE OUR FRIENDS!  When we work with fractions in adding and subtracting it is the denominator that you must focus on- are the denominators both the same size? If not you must make them the same size.  In addition to the fraction rules, you will also be using your negative rules.  So put on your thinking caps and away we go.  

One word of caution, the videos for this lesson are fine but the labels are a bit messed up. 

SOOOOOOO, I decided to add to the lesson 4 with Lesson 5 so watch these videos as well.

This pup belongs to Ava.  She looks so friendly and sweet.  Her name is Jade and she likes to sleep like this!

Rational Numbers- Ordering

Good Afternoon Girls and Boys,

We are moving on with Rational Numbers ( all whole and fractions - both + - plus some decimals + - that end or repeat).  This lesson is ordering them and in Math, ordering means to find out which one is smaller, larger or equal to the other. This is a review from last year with common denominators so we will need to recall this information, but all in all, a fairly easy lesson.  

These are McKenna's brother's RATS!!!! UGH!  Don't think I could have them crawl over me! I am sure many of you would beg to differ with me and find these critters quite pleasing! Enjoy!

Rational Numbers - Chapter 4

Good Morning Girls and Boys,

Today we on moving on with RATIONAL NUMBERS.  So, another all important vocabulary term, Rational Numbers.  Rational numbers include all integers ( whole numbers both positive and negative) plus all fractions ( positive or negative ) and SOME decimals ( positive and negative) .  Rational numbers are decimals that end or repeat, but NOT the decimals that do not end or repeat.  The most famous decimal that never ends or repeats is Pi.  We will go over this in class, but make sure you put this down in your graphic organizer that Pi is the most famous IRRATIONAL NUMBER of all!  I'll be checking!

So in these lessons, we will be adding on with our knowledge of integers and negative rules to fractions and decimals.  This is a little tricky but I think you can all handle this.

Awwww...... here is Mr Ryan and his new baby girl, Lydia.  How precious is this?  Congratulations to you and your wife and your beautiful little girl.
