Sixth Grade
Lesson 48 - Dividing a number by a decimal. This is when the number on the outside of the division box is a decimal. Remember the rule: Over, Over, Up! First, move the decimal on the outside number until it is a whole number (it will go to the right). That's the first "over". Then, however many places you moved that decimal, move the decimal on the number inside the box over the same number of places. That's the second "over". Then, put the decimal up in the answer. Begin dividing like normal. For example: 5.464 divided by 0.02. In this problem, the 0.02 would be on the outside of the division box. In order for it to be a whole number, you have to move the decimal 2 places to the right so it is now just 2. Then, you'd move the decimal in the number 15.46 two places to right as well and have 546.4. Then, put the decimal up and divide by 2.

Spelling - First two pages of Unit 15 are due tomorrow.
Vocabulary - Unit 7 cards are due tomorrow. The unit is due Wednesday. The test will be on Thursday!
Grammar - Work on the punctuation packet. It will be due Thursday, but don't wait until Wednesday night to do it all!
Math - Lesson 4-8. Dividing by decimal numbers. See the 6th grade explanation above. The only difference is, you also have negative numbers. Remember the rule for signed numbers in division: if the signs are the same, it's positive. If the signs are different, it's negative.
