Unit 6: Using Data; Addition and Subtraction of Fractions

We have 4 learning targets in Unit 6:

1.  Convert between fractions, decimals, and percents
2.  Add fractions with like denominators
3.  Subtract fractions with like denominators
4.  Identify and use data landmarks

We have done some review of measuring accurately with both standard and metric units.  We used this data to learn about and review how to organize our data and find data landmarks (maximum, minimum, range, mean, mode, median).  We have also learned how to make and interpret Stem-and-Leaf plots which was a new skill for ALL students.

Don't forget about accessing Math Facts in a Flash from home--it's great practice!  Each student has an opportunity to access the program from school 2 mornings a week so additional practice at home would be another opportunity for practice.
