CCSS.Math.7.NS.2,3.EE.3(NQ.2c) Rational Numbers- Multiply/Divide Mixed Numbers

Dear Girls and Boys,
We are moving on with multiply and divide with mixed numbers.  Mixed Numbers are rational numbers as they are whole and fractions combined.  We have looked at adding and subtracting in the previous lesson, and I do believe they are harder than multiplying and dividing mixed numbers.  With multiplying/dividing mixed numbers you do NOT need common denominators so it is one step less in solving.  Dividing has Special STEP- where you use the RECIPROCAL to solve- a reciprocal is when you flip the fraction around- so the numerator is now the denominator!  Hang on and watch the videos and be prepared for the vocabulary quiz coming soon to a classroom near you! 
This is Brooke and her horses.  I guess you can say this young lady loves her horses.  

As Always in MATH,
Mrs M
