Comparing Fractions

Comparing Fractions

We compare fractions to determine which one is greater or which one is less. We may have two fractions and we want to determine which one is bigger. We may have several fractions and want to put the fractions on a number line.

We can compare fractions in two ways with like denominators (denominators are the same)
or with unlike denominators (denominators are different). The second one is more challenging.

Comparing Fractions with like denominators

                                                   3/5        compared to            4/5

The denominators are the same meaning the size of the parts are the same. To compare these we simply look at the numerators and determine which one is greater. In this case the 4 is greater than the 3 so 4/5 is greater.

It also means that 4/5 is closer to 1 than th 3/5 is.


Comparing Fractions with unlike denominators

 2/3         compared to                4/5

1. In this case it is difficult to determine which fraction is greater so we need to draw a model to decide which one is bigger.

By looking at the fractions as a picture we can see that 4/5 is greater than 2/3.


2. We can also compare fractions by finding common denominators.

To find common denominators we need find a number they can both be multiplied by.

      2/3                    compared to      4/5



        2 x 5    =  10                                       4 x 3        = 12
        3 x 5        15                                        5 x 3          15


I multiplied the numerator and the denominator by the same number and got a new fraction or what we refer to as an equivalent fraction.
Now I can compare the two fractions and say that 12/15 is greater than 10/15.

Dollar Words

Dollar Words

We have been reading the novel because of Mr. Terupt by Rob Buyea in our class.
Mr. Terupt the main character has given the class an assignment they must find as many
words that equal up to a dollar. This is a great activity to expand your vocabulary
and practice your mental math. You have until Friday to find as many dollar words as you can.  The number to beat is 54! Good luck!

DOLLAR WORDS

A = 1	B=2	C = 3	D=4	E=5	F=6
G=7	H=8	I = 9	J=10	K=11	L=12
M=13	N = 14	O = 15	P=16	Q=17	R=18
S=19	T=20	U=21	V=22	W=23	X=24
Y=25	Z=26

Each letter is equal to an amount that is beside it. How many words can you come up with that equal a dollar?

DELIVERY = 4 + 5 + 12 +9 + 22 + 5 + 18 + 25 = 100 OR 1.00

Social Studies Artifact Ideas

 You have been asked to bring in an artifact that represents your family identity or heritage for Monday.  Below you will find a link to a great website that will hopefully inspire you!.


The Project is called Cosmopolis Toronto.  It was created by photographer Colin Boyd Shafer who set out on a yearlong journey (June 2013 – June 2014) to photograph someone born in every single country of the world who now calls Toronto home.


For each person participating in the project, a portrait is taken of them in a place where they feel  ‘at home’. A second photograph features them holding an item that connects them to their birthplace.  These two photographs are paired with a short story and mapped here on the website.


Our Grade 6 classes will be completing something very similar.

Trading Partners

In Social Studies we have been learning about Canada's Trading partners.  We played a game to learn about the different items we import and export.


I found this website that may interest some of you: 




This fun website let's you experience some of the challenges of international trade. See if you can get the best price for the goods you sell and the biggest bargains for the goods you buy. Watch how the global economy is doing: the prices you'll be able to get and the deals you can make depend on how healthy the global economy is.  Click on the link below and let me know what you think:

Grade 6 Biodiversity Web Quest

Grade 6 Biodiversity Web Quest

Complete the following Web quest about biodiversity. You will have class time to get started, whatever you do not finish will be homework and due Friday October 24^th.

Task 1

An Invasive Species is something that is not native and has negative effects on an ecosystem.  It is usually an organism that has been brought to one area from somewhere else.  To learn more about this topic go to:

http://www.iiseagrant.org/NabInvader/Lakes/suspects/suspects.html 

What you see on this website are Invasive Species that invade the waters around us, especially the Great Lakes.  Choose 2 of these species, read the information provided and then in your Journal summarize what you have read explaining how this species has reduced biodiversity in these areas.  Include a few pictures of your species in your Journal from google images.

Task 2

Using this link:

http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/rainforest/animals/Rfbiomeanimals.shtml

 scroll down to find the examples of animals in this ecosystem.  Choose 15-20 different animals and classify them into a graphic organizer.  Your classification system should be at least 3 different groups and should be something other than fish, mammals, reptiles, etc.  Use pictures as well as words to make your work more appealing.  Use your knowledge from previous lessons to help guide your classification.

Task 3

Biodiversity, everything counts! Head to the following link and click on “How to help Biodiversity.” http://www.amnh.org/explore/ology/biodiversity

Read about the many ways that you can help to protect biodiversity.  Which of these suggestions have you already done? Write a short reflection on how you can help protect biodiversity. 

Prime, Composite, Factors & Multiples

                        PRIME, COMPOSITE, FACTORS AND MULTIPLES


Part of understanding math is to understand the terminology that mathematicans use to describe numbers. Here are some definitions you need to know.

Prime numbers - A prime number has only 2 factors. One and itself.
Example:  19, 3, 17, 13, 17, 5
All of these numbers can only be multiplied by 1 and itself

Composite Numbers - A composite number has 3 or more factors.

8 = 1x8
8 = 2x4

Interesting fact: All even numbers are composite numbers because 2 is a factor of all of them. But 2 is a prime number because its only 2 factors are 1 and 2.
Example: 15, 14, 27, 20, 24

Multiples - A number that is the product of two factors. Its skip counting.

First 5 multiples of 24 are: 24, 48, 72, 96, 120

Factors - A whole number that divides a whole number without a remainder. One of the two whole numbers the multiply together to form a product.

24 - 1 x 24, 2 x 12, 3 x 8, 4 x 6

Try This!

Can you identify what numbers are prime and which numbers are composite?


 5,   18,   49,    52,    63,    78,    96,   121,   24,    32,  36,   72,   81,   11

For the numbers that are composite identify the factors of the numbers.

What are the multiples of these numbers:

3, 7, 8, 9,

Divisibility Rules

The following is a list of Divisibility Rules which are ways to decide if numbers are divisible by specific numbers.

Number	Divisibility Rule
Two (2)	A number is divisible by two if it is even. Another way to say a word is even is to say it ends in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8. Example: 642 is divisible by two because it ends in a two, which makes it an even number.
Three (3)	A number is divisible by three if the sum of the digits adds up to a multiple of three. Example: 423 is divisible by three because 4 + 2 + 3 = 9. Since nine is a multiple of three or is divisible by three, then 423 is divisible by three.
Four (4)	A number is divisible by four if it is even and can be divided by two twice. Example: 128 is divisible by four because half of it is 64 and 64 is still divisible by two.
Five (5)	A number is divisible by five if it ends in a five or a zero. Example: 435 is divisible by five because it ends in a five.
Six (6)	A number is divisible by six if it is divisible by both two and three. Example: 222 is divisible by six because it is even, so it is divisible by two and its digits add up to six which is a multiple of three.
Nine (9)	A number is divisible by nine if the sum of the digits adds up to a multiple of nine. This rule is similar to the divisibility rule for three. Example: 9243 is divisible by nine because the sum of the digits adds up to eighteen, which is a multiple of nine.
Ten (10)	A number is divisible by ten if it ends in a zero. This rule is similar to the divisibility rule for five. Example: 730 is divisible by ten because it ends in zero.
One Hundred (100)	A number is divisible by one hundred if it ends in two zeros. This rule is similar to the divisibility rule for ten. Example: 4700 is divisible by one hundred because it ends in two zeros.
