 Unit 8 has two primary objectives: to review the use of fractions and fraction notation and to help children develop a solid understanding of equivalent fractions.  We’re using our fraction cards, candy, number lines, models, and rulers to explore and compare fractions. Please continue to practice multiplication facts daily for accuracy and efficiency.
