This Wednesday we will be introducing integers (positive and negative whole numbers) and looking at how we use them in the real world. You and your student can watch how temperature rises and falls throughout the day, examine your deposits and withdrawals from a bank account, or note the yards gained or lost in a football game.
For example, if the temperature dropped 10 degrees in the morning, your student could record -10. If the temperature raised 15 degrees a few hours later, they could record +15.
We will also be wrapping up our study of equivalent fractions, converting fractions to decimals, and comparing and ordering fractions and decimals. Your student should be prepared for a short test Friday.
