Scribe Post for January 28,2009

Today we did Ordering Fraction Strategy.

1. Using Landmarks

Landmarks are thing everybody should know.

eg. - let's meet at Polopark.

- I live near the forks.

Fraction land marks

1/10, 1/5, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 1/4, 1/1

2. Equivalent Fraction

eg. 11/15 = 22/30 (x2 on numerator and denominator)

7/10 = 21/30 (x3 on numerator and denominator)

Get common denominator or numerator.

3. Convert to decimal

3/5 or 13/20 What is bigger?

3/5 = 0.6/1 ( divided by 5 the numerator and denominator)

13/20 = 0.65/1 ( divided by 20 the numerator and denominator)

Their will be a test tomorrow about a balancing shape

I choose Guiseppe to do the next scribe post.
