Math - Mass and Capacity

Since Friday the students of Portable 10 have been reviewing mass and capacity.  We knew that mass is how much something weighs. 



          REMEMBER: 1000 g = 1 kg






We also knew that capacity means how much something can hold.  


REMEMBER: 


                         1000 mL = 1 L
                         1 cup = 250 mL
                         2 cups = 500 mL
                         3 cups = 750 mL
                         4 mL = 1 L

Math Homework - Fractions to Decimals

Today we learned that fractions can be written using decimals.  We know that when we look at tenths, we can see decimals.

For example: We know that 1/10 = 0.1
                       We also know that 5/10 = 0.5 (one half)
                       And we know that one and one-tenth = 1.1

Math Review - Equivalent Fractions, Improper and Mixed Fractions

Hi Portable 10,
This weekend I want you practicing your equivalent fractions, and also your improper and mixed fractions.

Equivalent Fractions
Equivalent fractions are fractions that name the same amount.


Example:  1/2 = 5/10    or    2/3 = 8/12.

Remember, to find an equivalent fraction either find the simplest form, or multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Improper and Mixed Fractions
Improper fractions and mixed fractions are finding fractions that are more than 1 whole.
Improper fractions show fractions where the numerator is larger than the denominator.
Mixed fractions show whole numbers as part of a fraction.


Example:    Improper fraction - 7/2        or        Mixed fraction - 3  1/2
