Fractions, Fractions, Fractions!



We are beginning our lengthy unit on FRACTIONS! We will learn how to make them equivalent, simplify them, name them, add them, subtract them, multiply and divide them! So hold on to your hat - everyday builds on the next and you must keep up so that your hat is not blown away! We are first going to look at equivalent fractions and how to simplify/reduce fractions. These are two key concepts that you will always use with fractions!
