Assignment: Fraction Subtraction Choice
*Feel free to switch assignment choices if you are dissatisfied with the choice you made in class.
I'm calling this first one the choice for those of you feeling "Rusty with Addition." Like it? ;-)
Subtracting Unlike Fractions - Link!
This second assignment is for those of you curious as to how adding fractions works when you have negatives ... I have confidence you will figure it out.
Negative Fractions - Link!
On this worksheet, you need to keep track of your negative "rules" along with your fractions. It looks like an addition worksheet ... but is it?
GCF of Monomials - Link!
If you have completed the prime factorization worksheet, then this is the next step to finding the greatest common factors of monomials using those numbers. If you haven't done that one, feel free to go back through the assignments from this month and print that worksheet instead ... it will count as today's assignment and you can do this one another day.

Assignment: Applications with Sven - Link!
Today you will use your knowledge of fractions to answer these six problems. Be sure to read the questions carefully and be certain you know what it is asking. Use the sentence cues (where the answer goes) to reinforce that you understand the question and that your answer makes sense.
This is a mixed skillset practice, so using a "draw it" strategy to help your thinking is also strongly recommended.

Assignment: Multiplication Choice
Basics: Fraction Multiplication - Link!
Are you feeling the need to multiply fractions the regular way, making your own decisions about simplifying before or after you work the problems? This worksheet is for you! Do note though that ALL answers must be in simplest form for full credit.
Fraction Multiplication - G: Feeling Good - Link!
Feel confident in your ability to multiply fractions and want to apply cross cancelling on a deeper level? This worksheet has you simplify before you solve at least 4 times, finding either the prime factorization or simply looking for common factors and simplifying those. Either way! At this point, you must fully show me your cancellations so I can make sure you are using them correctly. ALL answers must be in simplest form for full credit.
*this blog has the Mo'Help tab which has a link to reviewing cross-canceling if you need it.
Fraction Multiplication with Variables - Link!
This worksheet is difficult, especially if you have never simplified or multiplied variables before. Try it ... then switch if you want to, eh? ALL answers must be in simplest form for full credit.

Assignment: Simplifying ... Choice!
We did lots of work with simplifying today as your math future holds simplifying requirements in all realms of math, from radicals to fractions to variable equations. Yikes! And so it begins.
As always, feel free to select a different one of these assignments if you are unhappy with your earlier choice.
Today you chose from:
*Practice: Link!
Practice what we did today with fractions. Make sure that the largest factor that the numbers share is one at the end of your simplifying.
*Review: Link!
So you have simplified before and you would like to review doing that with mixed numbers and improper fractions? It's not quite explorative, just follow the same rules and use the example I gave you on this sheet. The bottom 3 problems are thus worth 2 each.
*Challenge/Explore: Link!
If you understand simplifying concepts, this shouldn't extend your brain too far. Think through what you know about numbers and variables ... think of their factors and what they have in common.

Assignment: Networks - Link!
This assignment is to help you think about routes, mapping, and different ways they can be represented. Explore the possibilities ... you can figure these out!
Networks are used for all sorts of things, like for costs and efficiencies.
We will be translating this work into our Frodoland mapping. Think about how using a scale may have helped you track these routes visually rather than be dependent on checking everything numerically.
We will continue to build on these ideas!
*Nodes are the letters, arcs are the lines ... but that's not the question. ;-)

Assignment: Fraction Choice #1
We are just starting this unit, so begin where you are comfortable and or need review!
(Sorry this is SO late ... I just remembered!)
B = Basics - Link!
Review the basics of simplifying, equivalents, etc.
F = Factors - Link!
List the factors for each of the numbers, then the prime factors from each list.
T = Prime Factorization Trees - Link!
Factor trees bring a number down to its prime factors. Read the directions and/or ask an adult if you get stuck! There is only ONE answer to each tree, so multiply carefully.
M = Monomials - Link!
This one requires knowledge of factor trees, prime factorization, AND variables. I recommend starting with assignment "T" before this one if you are unsure.

Assignment: Quizlet - Speed Fractions
Select one set of the following fraction sets on my Quizlet page to practice in Gravity mode for 5 minutes altogether. Set a timer and if you do something else for even a minute, be sure to add that minute back in. You MAY practice longer if your heart desires. ;-)
After you select Gravity but before you begin to play you will be asked what level you want to practice and that decision is yours, but I feel like "medium" is a great choice for most of you ... some of you are more than prepared for high! Be sure to remember to put the "/" (backslash) in between your numerator and denominator and as in 5 1/2 = 11/2.
-You may practice either of the following sets, but keep in mind they are not organized together unless you have created a folder specifically for them or alphabetize the list. Both options have "fractions" in their title and the sets you may select from today include:
*Fractions: Renaming Mixed to Improper (what we did in class)
*Fractions: Renaming Improper to Mixed
-When you have completed your 5 minutes of speed practice, you may use any of the usual ways in letting me know you have completed this assignment.
-This is a pass/no pass assignment, so please put solid effort into it for your own benefit.

Assignment: Bingo Card
Today you received your Fraction Bingo cards. Unfortunately, there are no copies of this assignment online so you will need to pick up your card the next time you come to class. Notes for this assignment are:
*Fraction Cards must be colored neatly. And colored ... not in graphite.
*Your choice of what fraction to color each circle is yours, but ...
*You may color no more than two circles as wholes and ...
*All equivalent fractions for your choice, up to a denominator of 12, must also be written next to or in your circles. Examples: 2/5 is equivalent to 4/10 (and vice versa). 1/3 is equivalent to 2/6 to 3/9 to 4/12 (all must be listed). 1/7 has no equivalent with a denominator of 12 or less.
Be sure to count the circles carefully; there are divisions from one whole to twelfths.
Due on Thursday so we can get to playing Bingo asap!

Assignment: Fraction Take-Home Pre-Unit - Link!
***FRONT SIDE ONLY***
This assignment is for you to wrap your head around fractions ... what is it that you remember, don't remember, never learned, and are comfortable with? This is a very self-directed unit for homework, and we will be spending our class time exploring HOW fractions are useful rather than on the basic arithmetic of them.
Anyway, this assignment is graded complete/partially complete/incomplete and it is not possible to get full credit if it is not complete by your math period on Wednesday. Make sure to answer every question, get help if you need it, but don't worry too much about "learning" it all by tomorrow or getting them all correct ... that's what this unit is for!
Due Wednesday by the beginning of the period
