2. You need the following information for problem 2.1. When Tupelo Townshipe was founded, each land was divided into sections. Each SECTION is a square that is one mile long on each side. It is a square mile of land. There are 640 acres in EACH square mile section. The picture shows section 18 and 19. Each of those sections is 640 acres. (Hint: work with a common denominator) [|Problem 2-1.PDF]

 * __Please complete this when you have finished the last assignment or Monday. __**

1.Please do warm up three after you check warm up two. The answer to warm up two is 499. 18 + 19 + 14 × __(11 + 22)__ 18 + 19 + __14 x 33__ __18 + 19__ + 462 __37 + 462__ 499

2, Over and under estimation. We talked about ** over and under estimation ** in class before we left for break. We often ** over estimate ** when we are trying to decide if we have enough money to buy something. If you are adding up prices in a store of things your are trying to buy, you would estimate a bit more so you won't get to the cash register and find you don't have enough money.

You might ** under-estimate **if you are trying not to have too much left over. So if you were having a school activity party and you didn't want too much food left over you might under-estimate how many people are coming. This would mean you would buy less food to avoid having food that isn't eaten.

 * Watch the Estimation Brain Pop Video: []

They overestimate how much the cotton candy costs. He says that is can't cost more than $2. That way when he tries to figure out if he has enough money, if he has enough to pay $2 for each one, he will have enough money for sure!!

 * Watch this video on using benchmarks to estimate and add.

3. Download and print the following PDF. It is investigation 1.2 in your Bits and Pieces II book. If you have that with you, then do not print it. Use your book. Work with a friend online, a parent or sibling to find the answers. Write them down in a notebook or a sheet of paper so you can glue it in your math notes when you return. __** WRITE DOWN WHO YOU WORKED WITH. YOU CAN WORK WITH ANYONE WHO IS DOING VIRTUAL SCHOOL, EITHER IN MS DILLON'S CLASS OR MS SMITH'S CLASS. HAVE FUN DOING THIS WITH SOMEONE. :) **__

[|Investigation 1-2.PDF]

FEBRUARY 10 Try to do math every other day to keep your pace with it.
 * __ Please try to complete what is here by Sunday. __**

1. __Please do warm up number 2.__ The answer to warm up one is 60. Check your work to make sure you have the correct answer. 14 / 7 x ( __6 / 2__) x 10 __14 / 7__ x 3 x 10 __2 x 3__ x 10 __6 x 10__ 60

2. Check your answers to Monday's work, using the document below. [|Answers for February 6th Work.doc]

If you have any questions find me online from 9-12 Eastern Time in the United States. That will be 7 hours earlier than Cairo if you need to figure out how many zones we are apart. See math is handy!

3. Today we are going to practice more estimation of fractions before we move to adding and subtracting fractions. It is important to understand roughly what the answer should be so you will know your actual answer is in the correct range. It is also good to be able to estimate when you are out and don't have paper and pencil with you.

Here is a game you can play to practice estimating. You can play against your parent, your sibling or the computer! You will be red and the opponent will be blue. Click on the card. It will give you a fraction. You move your sliders to a place that gets as close to that fraction as possible without going over. So for 6/10, you could move 3/5 or you could move 1/5 and 4/10. The object is to get your sliders all the way to the right side in the least amount of turns. Write down the least amount of cards it takes you! Play it multiple times. Try to beat yourself. It is a fun way to practice estimation. There are instructions to this game on the site. [|Fraction Estimation Game]

3. Work on sixth grade, **U.6** on IXL.com Try to get at least three ribbons. Remember not to add or subtract but to estimate to the whole number.

4. After you have practiced a lot, take the quiz. It is a multiple choice quiz. If you refresh it after you take it, you can take another version of it. Take it as many times as you want but record all your scores. **__ Send me an email to let me know what scores you were able to get. __** This is not a formal assessment. I would just like to how you did! Click on the QUIZ link and enter ** ama 4154 ** when it asks for the webcode. [|Math Estimation of Fractions Practice Quiz]


 * February 8**

1. Download and print the warm up and complete one warm up every day. If you can't print, copy it on a clean sheet of paper and do the problems. Box in your final answers. I will post the answer the next day so you can see if you have it correct. Please review the video that I will post, if you have problems with order of operations. Remember it is ALL multiplication and division from left to right and then ALL addition and subtraction from left to right. [|warm up paper online.doc]

2. We are going to talk about benchmarks again for a minute. We want to estimate which benchmark the sum of two fractions is near. If we have 1/2 and 5/8 and we estimate the sum, we know that 1/2 is exact and 5/8 is just a bit more than 1/2. We can estimate that 1/2 plus 5/8 would be a little more than 1 whole.

Here is a video to help you. Sorry, I didn't make this one! I will make one for the next post! [|Video on Estimating Fractions]

ESTIMATE which benchmark the sum of the two fractions is closest to. Do not add them. Use benchmark strategies. Is the sum closest to 0, 1, 2 or 3? ** EXPLAIN EACH ANSWER. ** 1. 7/8 + 4/9 2. 1 1/2 + 2 1/5 3. 2/5 + 1/4 4. 1/9 + 1/8 5. 1 1/3 + 1 1/3 6. 1/4 + 1/8 7. 3/4 + 9/10 8. 5/10 + 16/32

You do not have to turn this in. Check tomorrow for the answers. If you have questions about an answer you gave, please email me.
