Day 6
We continued
working on our new unit on fractions, percents, ratios, and rates. We took up
yesterday’s homework and then did a lesson on converting improper fractions to
mixed numbers and mixed numbers to improper fractions. Students are asked to
complete practice questions on p. 293 of the MMS textbook.
The rest of
class time was spent working on exhibition. Students learned the issue, group
members, and mentor they will be working with for exhibition. These are as
follows:

Students began their
work by creating an essential idea that they think will help them be successful
as they work through the collaborative process of exhibition. They then started
their research with the goal of getting a broad understanding of their issue
and possibly begin focusing their ideas.
Students met with
their mentors to introduce themselves and to set a meeting time and date for
their first meeting. They then worked on their conceptual questions for their
project. The class made such quick progress on these that they even began work
on their central idea.
Look for a parent
letter coming home in the exhibition section of your child’s binder. Please
read, sign, and date this letter.
