FRACTIONS Countinues..

Friday, November 27, 2009

On thursday for math we did two different things. First we did some multiplying and dividing fractions which is new.

We did some easy questions like.














and we did another one with DECIMAL

















Just so everyone knows when you see a big black dot like this...


it means you have multiply.





Anyways we did someother things like this.. and we learned about RECIPROCAL.

























These are all called the







and that mean









So in order to do this we have to find the reciprocal

And now i'm going to talk about DIVIDING Fractions.

















After we find the Reciprocal we have to multiply the question then wil get the answer.















Then we divide the reciprocal by 1.

Then we have to multiply it so we can get the answer.














And that is how you do DIVIDING FRACTIONS.
That's it for TODAY.. srry it's late..
anyways the next scribe is
LARA.. GOOD LUCK !!

PLEASE COMMENT!!!


IF YOU NEED HELP WITH ANY OF THIS. GO TO MATH HELP AT LUNCH TIME. MATH HELP IS GOING TO MAKE YOUR LIFE VERY EASY.

Today In Math Class We Learned , When Adding and subtracting fractions , To do so you have to find a common denominator If Necessary . Add And subtract Numerators denominators Have to be The Same The Simplify .

This Image Shows Adding Fractions . It Is also The same When You Subtract But The numerator numbers wil be subtrac
ted instead














We Also Learned In class how to Multipy Fractions .
When We Multiply Fractions , Simply multiply The Numerators Together and then multiply the Denominaters Together , Then Simplify If Possible :)









For HomeWork

We Had 10 questions to do :)

1 : 2/3 x 3/5 =
2 : 4/5 x 2/9 =
3 : 7/8 x 4/5 =
4 : 9/10 x 5/6 =
5 : 2/5 x 3/4 =
6 : 1/9 x 1/9 =
7 : -1/2 x 2/3 =
8 : -2/7 x 7/2 =
9 : -4/5 x -5/4 =
10: 6/7 x 1 1/6 =

And also Page 2.2 in Our math books :)
I choose Raye To do the next Scribe :)

Scribe Post

Today in class we went into the computer lab and we went on a site and played a game with Adding and Subtracting Mixed numbers..
This is an example for the adding mixed number and subtracting mixed numbers.














Scribe Post for November 20th

Hey guys! (: On Friday in math class we learned about more fractions. We also went over the homework from Thursday.



Here's a question that some people had troubles with from the homework on Thursday:


















This is the exact same question just solved in a different way.

















Now here's a question Mr. Backé asked us to try in class on Friday:

*Mr Backé showed us 2 different ways to solve this.

Here's one way:























Here's a second way:




















HOMEWORK!



1) 2 7/8 - 1 1/4=





2) 3 5/6 - 2 2/3=





3) 11 3/4 - 2 7/8=





4) 5 1/2 - 5/6=





5) 3 1/8 - 1 1/6=




I pick Nicole N for the next scribe. =)

Hey Guys. (: Today in class we just went over our homework, and practiced some questions that people had some trouble with.

At first, we went over a question that people had some trouble with on homework. This was the question:


This is how to figure it out.

1st Step -
Rewrite the question and solve the symbols (-,+).

2nd Step -
Figure out the common denominators.



Our homework for today:

1) 5 - 2/3


2) 4 - 5/6

3) 10 - 7/8

4) 5 - 2 2/3

5 6 - (-2/5)

I pick Courtney for the next scribe. :) Oh, and comment like crazy guys. x)

FRACTIONS

Wednesday, November 18, 2009

HELLO PEOPLE FROM 9-06! Today for the SCRIBE POST I'm going to talk about some questions from yesterday and today. AND SORRY for any mistakes!!

So lets begin!!!
This is one of the QUESTIONS we did.

Usually we would find COMMON DENOMINATOR but for this question we don't have to because they are both the same.
Anyways after we have to find the EQUIVALENT FRACTIONS. We don't have to find the equivalent fraction for this one because we didn't have to find the denominators.



Then we have to REWRITE THE QUESTION . Then we answer the question.
















That was an example of ADDING NEGATIVE FRACETIONS.

These here are very IMPORTANT.


(-)=(-)

-(-)=(+)

-(-)(-)=(-)

-(-)(-)(-)=(+)

-(2/3)=-2/3

-(-2/3)=2/3

-(-2/-3)=-2/-3


Now i'm going to give examples of SUBTRACTING NEGATIVE FRACTIONS



The first thing you have to do is... FIND COMMON DENOMINATORS and it seem like this one already has common













So.. For this one we don't have to find the EQUIVALENT FRACTION. So will go to the next step which is REWRITE AND ANSWER.



PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT!!!!
AND THE NEXT SCRIBE IS
RAYE FLETT..
THAT IS IF YOU DID NOT DO ONE


SEE YAAHH NEXT TIME :P

What's up guys! today we talked about fractions and as always we first clarified and corrected homework for today.
the number ten was the one that seemed more difficult, but here is the solution for you =)
:


First we need to find the denominator....and that is 60!
and as second we need to calculate the numerator and that will be:


77/60=17/60 and thats the answer!
anyway after that we did exercises on fractions like that:



and that:



.....that's it!
Hope that you understood how to proper fractions(in my first subscribe xP)!

thanks for
Jericho to choose me ;)
anyway don't forget to leave a comment and the homework for tomorrow!!
see ya!
