This week has been a BUSY week. Thank you to all students who have been working so hard to finish all of their work for the year. We're almost there!

I hope you learned a bit more about construction safety today.

Math
Fractions test tomorrow..... I will try to make it short... we have another busy day tomorrow. Check out yesterday's post for the test expectations.

Practice placing fractions on a number line. I think for some of you that is a bit tricky.

Grade fives we talked about fractions of a number today when we were taking up your booklet. To find the fraction of a number e.g. 2/5 of 25 you multiply the numerator by the whole number then divide by the denominator.

2 x 25 = 50
50 divided by 5 = 10

So 2/5 of 25 is 10

You can also draw a picture of 25 dots and divide them into groups of 5. Two groups of 5 would be 10.

There are 27 diamonds divided into 3 groups (denominator tells you number of groups). 1/3 of the set is 9 so 2/3 of the set is 18.
