Fun with Fractions

We will be focusing on fractions in math.  This will include reducing fractions to their simplest form, finding equivalent fractions, writing improper fractions as mixed numbers, and converting fractions to decimals. 

You can further this lesson at home by pointing out fractions in real life.  For example, order pizza and discuss the fraction of pizza each member of the family ate and the fraction of pizza left over.  Other ideas include examining fractions of a dollar when making purchases or fractions of an hour spent doing various activities, such as watching T.V.
