1.  Explain how you convert a mixed number into an improper fraction. (10 points)

2.  Explain how you convert an improper fraction to a mixed number (10 points)

3.  Using a venn diagram, compare these two skills: dividing fractions and multiplying fractions.  You should have atleast 4 things written on it! (20 points)

4.  What do you do with an answer that has a bigger numerator than denominator ?( 5 points)

5.  Describe how to simplify fractions.  Give atleast 3 examples after your explanation. (10 points)

6.  List the steps for multiplying a mixed number by a mixed number (20 points) 

7.  Explain what a product is.  (5 points)

8.  Explain how to get the reciprocal of a mixed number (10 points)

9.  Explain when you need common denominators in fractions.  What operations? (10 points)

======================================

Mean- to get the mean, you add up all the numbers and divide by the amount of numbers you added.

If you are given a problem where they give you the mean, but leave out one of the numbers of data - follow these steps.

1)  Multiply the mean by the amount of numbers the set of data SHOULD have.  (so +1 to the items given)

2.)  Add all the numbers in the given set.

3)  Subtract both numbers.

You now have the missing data number!!  :)

Vocabulary words picture did not come out- so, you will have to wait till tomorrow!!

Measures of central tendency refers to mean, median, and mode.

The median is the middle number of the ordered data or the mean of the middle two numbers.  Half of the data is greater than the median, half of the data is less than the median.

The mode is the number or numbers that occur most often.

Week of 10/3/2011

Please be advised that my 5th hour may have assignments added that they didn't need to do.  To compensate for the new transfers, I will be putting the new students   old class grades in my grade book.  Their old assignments DO count and the GRADE will transfer.  If you see a "X" by your child's name in 5th hour, please don't contact me- it may be a transfer assignment that wasn't mine.

  Thank you, Mrs Himmel
