Hey Guys, Today in class we played a fraction game using cards. The red cards were represented positive numbers, and the black cards represented negitive numbers. So in order to play the game you need 2 cards and put them in a fraction (the cards were handed out randomly) after that you have to put your number on the number line and whoever was closest to 0 on the number line would get 2 points.
Example:
Jim's fraction is -2/9 and Bob's fraction is -4/7.
Who do you think is closer to zero?...
-2/9 is closer because if u find it's decimal value it is: -0.22(repeating)
-4/7 decimal value is: -0.57.
Where is the Half point for 2/3?
Homework for tonight is: 3 questions that ask you to compare the fractions using the denominator. The fractions that you have to compare are
1/2 and 1/3
1/5 and 2/4
2/3 and2/4
Besides that we also have section 2.1 Math Link (the worksheet Mr.B gave us)
Well I have said what we did in class so I guess that means I am done my scribe.
For the next scribe I am not going to choose another guy because it has been only guys that have been doing scribes...Next is Nichole! Good Luck
Remember the Halloween dance is tomorrow so if you don't have all of your work in make sure you get it done so you can go. Oh yeah I almost forgot: COMMENT!!!
