     This week in math we will leave equivalent fractions and begin comparing fractions. Students can compare fractions by giving both fractions common denominators, using benchmark fractions such as 1/2, 2/3 etc, or by using visual fraction models. Which ever strategy students use they must be able to explain and justify their reasoning.
     We will have our next timed quiz this Friday. Please remember students now have 2 minutes to complete 50 problems. 


     This week in science we will complete our work with motion. Our test will be on this Thursday.
     Our next unit will focus on weathering/erosion, rocks, minerals and earths resources.
