We are starting our math unit on Monday, March 18. Our new math unit is on fractions and their uses; chance and probabilty.
Unit 7 begins with a review of fraction ideas previousy introduced and extends knowledge by devleoping a good understanding of equivalent fractions. Unit 7 also provides informal activities related to chance and probability. Unit 7 has four main areas of focus:
- To review fractions as parts of a whole (ONE), fractions on number lines, and uses of fractions,
- To guide students as they order fractions and find fractional parts of sets and regions,
- To provide practice identifying equivalent fractions, and
- To review basic ideas of probability, comparing predicted and actual results, and guiding the application of fractions to chance experiments.
We will be having the following skills groups:
(Ask your child tonight who your math teacher is!)
