Math:  Answers to Mid-Chapter Checkpoint (pages 277-278)    1) common multiple   2) common denominator   3) 1 1/2   4) 3   5) 4   6) 54 and 9/54, 6/54  

7) 40 and 15/40, 12/40   8) 36, 36, 4/36, 15/36   9) 2X2X2X2X3   10) 2X3X3   11) 2X3X5   12) 4/9   13 24/35   14) 9/20   15) 1/4   16) 1/8   17) 19/24 gallon

 

Today's math:  Go over and do pages 279 and 280.  After you have gotten it, do pages 281 and 282.  Trick for mixed fractions.  After you find the lowest common denominator in the mixed fraction, multiply the denominator times the whole number and add the numerator.  Example - 2 1/4 would be 4 x 2 = 8 plus 1 = 9, so you would end up with 9/4.  Then do the same with the other mixed fraction and perform the math operation (+. -, x, or divide).  Give it a try after you see mrmathblog or Khan Academy.

           Today's work:  I'm giving you a lot, but you need to be introduced to addition and subtraction using fractions.  Read and do Pages 269 - 270.  Skip ahead to pages 273 and 274 and do those.  Then do pages 276 A and B.  Learning about fractions is a MUST in sixth grade and in life.

Mr. Bailey

Math - Go Math, pages 268 A and B.  I wish you could be in school to study factoring.  It is a little difficult to grasp.  So, keep going mrmathblog or Khan Academy for assistance.

Keep Working,

Mr. Bailey

     I have spoken to most of you on the phone or left a voicemail.  For now, I would like you to all keep working on Moby Max, Renaissance, or Typing Club.  Moby Max has all subjects, so keep working on that, especially.  Keep that journal I assigned every day.  I will give you more things to work on beginning the week of April 6.  If you want a sneak peak, go to Readworks and check out their site.  We'll be using it.

Yours in Dragon Pride,

Mr. Bailey

Today's Work for Math - Pages 265 through 268.  This assignment is about factoring.  If you know your multiplication tables, you will not have too much trouble figuring out how to do these problems.  As always, go to mrmathblog or Khan Academy if you need help.

Mr. Bailey 

Readworks - "Slavery, the Civil War, and Reconstruction: The Emancipation Proclamation", "Protecting the Platypus", "Meet a Soldier".

Math:  Do Pages 264 A andB.  Just estimate the addition of fraction.  I hope you are understanding the mixed fractions.  Keep going to our old buddy mrmathblog to get help.  Or, use Khan Academy for a less "animated" approach.

Journals - Keep working on them.  I'd love to see some of them.  Kamaria sent me a good one via Google.

Reminder - Mystery Science live program on May 21 at 10:00 a.m. if you are interested.

Mr. Bailey

For today:  Read, go to mrmathblog, and then do pages 261 and 262.  You know I don't like estimating, but we'll try it this time.  After those practice pages, do pages 263 and 264.  This isn't too tough, so you should be able to get it.  I have faith in all of you!!

Keep up on your journals.  Kamaria sent me her writings.  Her things are good and informative from an individual point of view.
