October 20th -24th

 Hello fantastic families of Lane Middle School! I hope this email finds you well and enjoying our the great weather on Sunday! This week students will continue to work on fractions and mastering our next learning target:
·        6.NS.Ai – I can fluently model the multiplication and division of rational numbers.

By the end of the week, students will understand how to multiply and divide fractions using two methods, visual models and the algorithm. This week I will give two days of homework which will be handed out on Tuesday and Wednesday.  Then students will continue to focus on the following IXL strands:

Fractions and Mixed Numbers
T.3         Simplify fractions
V.5         Multiply fractions - with models
V.6         Multiply two fractions
V.7         Multiply fractions: word problems

On Friday, October 24th I will have a substitute Mr. Dyer and students will be working in the computer lab on their IXL strands.
