Upcoming Math Test

There will be a test on everything covered up to date (and BEDMAS with fractions to be done this week) by the end of this week or early next week. Start preparing :)

Fraction Quiz

There will be a "re-quiz" on Tuesday! Some things to remember:

1. You only need a common denominator when you are adding or subtracting fractions.
2. Remember to change all division to multiplying by the reciprocal.
3. Always simplify. Never leave your answer as an improper fraction.
4. Be carefuly with positive/negative mixed numbers when adding/subtracting. They can be tricky!
