I realize I haven't posted any practice problems in a while or a week in review. I apologize for that. The practice problems were not getting turned in for the most part so I am in the process of coming up with a different system.
Grades are due on Thursday so please come to tutorials if you need extra help.
Have a great day!

10/1/10 Week in Review
We have made it through 6 weeks of school! Progress reports come out on Wednesday. Remember I have tutorials every Tues/Thurs from 4:15 to 5:00. Please come by, especially if you are having trouble in class.
This week we learned how to do different operations with fractions. Particularly how to add, subtract and divide. We know that when we add or subtract we MUST find a COMMON DENOMINATOR!!!! The common denominator must be a multiple of both denominators. However, when we multiply or divide fractions we do not have to find a common denominator. To divide fractions we actually multiply by the inverse. So to say it more simply, flip and multiply. We only flip the second fraction though. Another important thing to remember is that if you have a mixed number (4 1/5) you should change it to an improper fraction before you do anything with it.
This coming week we will be polishing these skills and practicing them daily. Please see me if you need extra practice. I have a workbook I can give you to take home and I can also run off copies of extra practice. We are in this together. Let's BE SUCCESSFUL!
Also students please remember there are other ways to solve problems other than fighting. If you want to discuss this further I am available to talk.
