Today in class we covered section 5-4 (Subtracting mixed numbers by regrouping). In this section we saw examples where the fraction of the second number was greater than the first meaning we had to borrow in the first number in order to subtract properly.

There is no homework over the weekend.

Section 5-4 Class Notes

Today in class we covered sections 4-7 (comparing fractions) and 4-8 (adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators). We went over the class notes that involved some example of comparing like fractions and then examples where the fractions were unlike (different denominators).

We then worked in groups for both sections trying some examples.
