Fractions

Happy Middle-of-the-Week!
We have been working with fraction circles in fourth grade. Fractions are all around us. Think of somewhere outside of school where you might find fractions. I know I used fractions this past weekend when I baked muffins. The recipe was filled with fractions of this and fractions of that!

Here is a real world math problem for you. There are about 160 fourth graders at Lincoln Center. Three-fourths of them eat hot lunch everyday. How many fourth grader bring their lunch from home?

Here's another. Half of the fourth grade teachers eat hot lunch everyday. How many of them bring their lunches from home?

Be good. Be nice. Behave.
