Today we began working on finding common denominators to add and subtract fractions that do not have like denominators.

We practiced how to find the common denominator, then how to find the equivalent fractions and then we could add or subtract.

There are 4 questions for homework for tomorrow:

1/4 + 1/6 =

4/5 - 1/2 =

3/4 - 1/5 =

2/3 + 3/8 =

Have your parents make up other questions to help you practice.

We have a field trip on Wednesday the 29th. we will leave the school at 12:30 p.m. after lunch and return for 3:40 p.m.

Have a good evening.
