Today we worked on adding and subtracting mixed numbers.
Textbook work: Pg 84-85 # 3, 4, 5, and 7 was assigned for homework.
Students are also encouraged to log-in to IXL math at home and practice F.7- Convert between mixed numbers and improper fractions. They can also practice G.3- Adding fractions with unlike denominators. This is a great website that students can log into at anytime for extra math practice with any concepts they may be struggling with.
