6.1.A Continued


Well, the first performance expectation is a doozey!! We are still working on a deep understanding of fractions and decimals. This weekend, students will be working on a "Fraction Art" piece. They are exploring the fractions (up to 1/32) between 0 and 1. They should create an art piece that reflects a deep understanding of this magical area.

Many students, that could convert between decimals and fractions, had trouble plotting these numbers on a number line. We will be working with this concept deeply until we have mastery.

You can help by having the kids measure things to the nearest 1/16 of an inch!!!
