Sixth Grade
Math - Least Common Multiple. Remember, when you are finding the LCM, you are finding the first number your numbers go INTO. There is an endless number of multiples, so you want the smallest one that they go into. For example, if you want to find the LCM of 12 and 20, you would start with 20...your biggest number and do the multiples of it:
20, 40, 60, 80
Now, look at that list. Is there are number that 12 goes into? You might see that 12 goes into 60, but if you don't know that, you would need to do a list with the multiples of 12:
12, 24, 36, 48, 60
And then you'd see it.
So the LCM of 12 and 20 is 60.
Just so you know, I think I figured out what was wrong with my "cake" example today! I'll explain tomorrow.
The assignment is #1-22 on the homework page.

Multiplying Fractions - Remember, in order to multiply two fractions or mixed numbers, you first have to change any mixed numbers into improper fractions by using the u-turn. Then, cancel where you can by dividing a top number and a bottom number by the same thing. Then multiply across and then if your answer is improper, change into a mixed number by dividing bottom into top. Here are a few examples:
Geography - Read the rest of Chapter 5, Section 4 and complete the worksheet over the section. You do NOT have to do the section assessment in the book...just the worksheet.Eighth Grade
Pre-Algebra: We did not have class today because of testing. We will resume class on Wednesday.
Algebra I: Solving equations for y. Everyone really seemed to get the hang of it today. Do the 10 problems I wrote on the board.
See you tomorrow!
