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:

Biodiversity Study Review

Science Review:

For your science test on Friday November 7^th make sure you study the following:

• Names of the 5 Kingdoms and some characteristics of each
• Meaning of Classification
• Definition of vertebrate- 5 common vertebrates, their characteristics and examples
• Definition of invertebrate, endoskeleton, exoskeleton and examples
• Describe what invasive species are and provide an example of how one is affecting us (**Hint web quest)
• Be able to explain how we can help biodiversity (***Web quest)

Tips for Number Sense Test on Wednesday October 22nd :)

Here are some things you should review before the test:

1. Prime and Composite Numbers
2. BEDMAS- how to use it and how to make statements true:

For example: explain how to get 50 when calculating 10 X 3 + 4 X 5


    3. Addition and Subtraction of decimals
    4.  Estimating by rounding to the nearest tenth
    5.  Estimating by rounding to the nearest whole
    6. Multiplication -2 digit by 4 digit and decimals
    7. Long Division


Good Luck! Please come prepared with questions I can answer tomorrow :)

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.
