Fractions and visitors

This week we will be working with fractions. We will start with ordering fractions with the same denominator using a number line, progressing to comparing fractions with an unlike denominator and exploring ratios.

We will also have several guest in the class this week. Tuesday Susan Davidson, math consultant with the school board will be here. She will be observing students work on their math and problem solving skills.

This Thursday our business mentor will be here to judge the business proposals we have been working on. We are also pleased to have Betty Weil program manager for the Entrepreneurial Adventure in attendance. Rounding out our panel will be Mrs Dilabio our Vice Principal and Mrs Leafloor our resource teacher. Some of the students have commented that working on their proposal is the favorite part of their day.
