Grade 6

Welcome to Week 2!

This week I would like everyone to look for lessons identified by the blue calendar, with a blue star on their dreambox page. 

Activities to try for Tuesday/Thursday:

1. Equivalent Fractions game "Triplets."  Search or follow the link   www.mathplayground.com/Triplets/index.html

Once there, click on the arrow to start. The objective is to match fractions and models to their groups by dragging the fraction or model to where it fits.

*Hint: I like to start with the unit fraction (numerator is 1, example 1/4), or the model and then find the equivalent fraction to the unit fraction to finish the group. Give it a try!

2. On the same site, www.mathplayground.com , under Math Games,

(a) Scroll down and click on the orange bar "More Fraction Games".

(b) Once there, scroll down to near the bottom of the page to find the heading "Computation- Fractions and Decimals". 

(c) There are two headings to practice. Each gives an example as a reminder, then you can try. The headings to try are 

"Improper Fractions to Mixed Numbers"

"Mixed Numbers to Improper Fractions" 

These are what we were working on when we were last at school. Good luck!
