Apologies for the convergence of due dates - Mr. Anderson's project was due at a certain spot in our rotations, and coincidentally hit the same due date as our two paragraphs for our Survival project. As a result, we have not had Math homework yesterday or today.
We have been working on multiplying fractions by fractions during the week, and are good at drawing an area model to show this operation, as well as using numbers to get an answer. Today we explored what it means to divide a whole number by a unit fraction (a fraction with one in the numerator) by drawing bar models and number lines.
The students did an amazing job of focusing on their writing today while finishing, editing, and copying an essay about how the character Esperanza changed, especially in her response to challenges, throughout the novel Esperanza Rising.
