Students did a research about each kingdom of life: plants, animals, protists, bacterias and fungus. Using information and pictures from the internet, they summarized and prepared an oral presentation for each kingdom.

COMPARING FRACTIONS:
In order to compare 2 fractions with different denominators, we must find 2 equivalent fractions with the same denominator, by finding the Least Common Denominator between them.

MISS SANDRI.

The Venn Diagram is one of the most basic graphic organizers currently used to compare and contrast characteristics of 2 concepts, ideas or words. Six graders used this strategy to find the GCF of sets of numbers and were able to visualize the similar and different attributes of them.

Remember that in order to take a fraction to it's simplest form or to the lowest term, we have to find out first the GCF between the numerator and denominator. The next step is to divide both the numerator and the denominator into the GCF.

When the GCF between the numerator and the denominator is 1 the fraction has been taken to it's simplest form or to the lowest term.

In the following link you will find exercises for you to practice:
