Math Update...by Noah Christiana

In room 12 in math we are working on comparing fractions like: 3/3 = 1 whole. We are also working on multiplying and dividing. Today we started learning about decimals.
Our goal in fractions is comparing fractions and to know all of the equivalent fractions with LIKE DENOMINATORS. Our goal in computation is multiplying and dividing and being able to get 60 PROBLEMS CORRECT IN 4 MINUTES. Kids who have mastered both of these skills are learning how to add fractions....like: 1/6 + 1/6 = 2/6 (Did you know the equivalent fraction for 2/6 = 1/3).
Today in math we learned about decimals and how they are similiar and different than fractions.
