*Today you received one of two homework worksheets:
1) the Robot- requirements are to focus on the "mechanics" (how to) multiply fractions. Or...
2) the Words - requirements are to focus on trying to cross cancel (aka cross simplify) before multiplying. The instructions are on the worksheet, so be sure to follow them completely. Please note that you are also required to explain why you think it works.
*Those of you doing the Robot worksheet are certainly encouraged to wow me with your cross canceling skills, but it is not required. You may simplify after.
*I will also put the directions for cross canceling on the Mo'Help page, so you can go there if those reminders are not on your worksheet.
Due: Wednesday
Pre-Algebra: pg 235, 36 - 50
*Addition and subtraction of unlike fractions
*Follow the same steps you follow for adding 1/2 + 1/4, eh?
*Variables will only show up in your numerators.
*Make sure that your fractions are simplified, but they do not need to be in mixed number form.
*For 45 - 50 you have the option of using mixed numbers OR improper fractions. (It really doesn't matter)
Due: Wednesday
