Happy Summer! Ms. Frank's Summer Suggestions Web Site is Up

I hope you are all having lovely long days. I've been enjoying every minute of this summer break so far. There's still plenty of time left in this break from school. IF you are looking for some things to do to help keep you connected to your school studies, there are many ways to keep active. Follow your interests this summer. Use your time to build upon what you really like and what makes you feel great. Also use the time to practice and prepare for what you know you need to do.

I've put together a few suggestions on a web site. These suggestions are meant only to point you in a direction and are not representative of any specific curriculum. If you are reading and keeping your math skills fresh, you're doing just fine. My only hope for the links and recommendations is that they will help you find resources and materials if you are looking for them. None of this is required, but it is encouraged. I may add to the site as the summer goes along. If you've found something great that's you'd like to share feel free to leave a comment or send me an email with a suggestion.

Have a great summer!

Ordering Fractions - a useful video for tonight's homework

This video may be useful while working on tonight's homework:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-FMK3Qb5WY

While I am away use these videos to help you complete your math homework each night:

ADDING AND SUBTRACTING FRACTIONS - PAY ATTENTION TO THE DENOMINATORS!:
https://www.mathsisfun.com/fractions_addition.html

Adding fractions with like denominators is easy, but remember if  your fractions don't have like denominators you MUST convert one or both of the fractions in the addition or subtraction problem.

You'll have to find EQUIVALENT fractions.

Rewrite your addition or subtraction problem with fractions that have the same denominator, then solve.

FINDING EQUIVALENT FRACTIONS:

Medieval Documentaries

This site offers a number of online documentaries with useful information. Many of the documentaries are focused on entertainment and offer a fun way to enter this subject, but at other times the entertainment factor is distracting. That said, all have good information and offer a chance to take a look at life in the Middle Ages. Some of the documentaries create an exaggerated sense of drama or humor. In our class discussions please share your opinions and ask  questions about any documentary you choose to view.

The documentary we are currently viewing in class is The Greatest Knight.
