First post!

I know, isn't this exciting? Not much here yet, but more will come soon.

Right now in math we are all learning to use "road maps" in order to adjust the text book to better match our own speeds. The book we are using is "Bits and Pieces I" of the Connected Mathematics Program. This book extends grade five understandings of fractions and decimals into percents.

This week the kids should have brought home a fraction ruler. It essentially is a fraction kit kept in one piece and used for measuring fractional parts. It's a handy tool that can also be cut apart and used as a traditional fraction kit.
