Adding/Subtracting Fractions with Unlike Denominators

1. Look at the denominators of the numbers you are adding or subtracting.
2. List some multiples of each of the denominators. You can't list them all because there is an infinite number of multiples for each number.
Example: 2,4,6,8,105,10, 15,20
3. Look for common multiples. 10 is a multiple of 2 and 5.
4. Find the lowest common multiple. 10 is also the smallest multiple that both numbers have in common.
5. That number will be the new denominator.
6. Now make equal fractions.
7. Add or subtract, and simplify.

2. TLW use customary units to measure length.
3. TLW use customary units to measure capacity/weight.
Monday
1. Review the definitions of multiples, common multiples, greatest common multiple for finding common denominators. Tell the definition, tell when you can use it(adding diff. denom), or give an example.  Students make a poster, a power point or a video to demonstrate the concept. (1 group video, 1 group ppt)
2. Review factors, common factors, and greatest common factor for simplifying. 2 groups of students work to create power point and video. ( 1 group video, 1 group ppt)Video/ppts can be placed on website for test review.
3. Practice if not using the above activity is  text pg. 580 or P10-5 ; text pg. 586-587.
Homework: Study for a test on adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators.(text pg. 568-580)

Tuesday
1. Weekly Quiz
2. Math Art:Since we have used fraction bars to create pictures, fractions to create ice cream sundaes, have students use some other item to use for art to demonstrate and label fractions. (ex: a picture of an m & m cookie with colored m& m’s – label the fraction of each color; an ice cream cone with favorite ice creams; a flower bouquet for mother’s day with different types of flowers; a picture frame with different sports balls drawn on the inside ¾  basketballs, ¼ tennis balls, ¼ footballs.)

Measurement Week 2

Objectives
1. Students will work in groups to determine measurements, calculate volume, collect and analyze data, create a graph, make comparisons and contrasts, and use their creative writing skills to develop a story.
2. TLW compare measures by setting up ratios.
3. TLW review translations, rotations, reflections.

Monday
1. Materials needed: about four candy bars for each group. The candy should be different sizes and types. Also needed are rulers for each group. (Babe Ruth, Mars, Milky Way, Snickers…)
2. Review measuring with centimeters: http://www.hbschool.com/activity/length_strength1_centi/
3. Students will work in groups to complete the following tasks to help review for linear measurement for the test.
Station 1: Measure each candy bar in your group. Determine its length, width, and height to the nearest centimeter. Determine the volume of each candy bar by multiplying length x width x height.
Station 2: List the ingredients in each candy bar. Compare and contrast the ingredients of the candy bars in your group. Place the ingredients on the double bubble map.
Station 3: Choose one member of your group to visit the other groups and make a tally of all the different candy bars. When this statistician returns with the information, make a bar graph to show the data.
Station 4: Use all of the candy bar names in a creative group short story. For example:
     Babe Ruth was left behind when everyone went to Mars on  a spaceship. As they traveled through the Milky Way, they heard the Snickers of….

Tuesday
1. Finish group work as needed.
2. Changing units and comparing measures – text pg. 596 -597
