Fun with Fractions and More Equations

First, we reviewed the last two items from Writing Equations for Problems.  Then I presented 2 photos; brownies into thirds and ice cream scoops into sevenths. Students practiced finding a given fraction of a whole group of items. This imagery will help better prepare students' thinking for writing and practicing with equations.

Then students moved into More Practice with Writing Equations:
We will complete these in class tomorrow.

HOMEWORK: None for tonight; except return with MTN.
