Today, Mr. Harbeck was talking about his kids that can do football and run on balance beams. Something like that. Anyway, one of them had a math problem and it was 1/2 + 1/3.

They thought the answer was 2/5. We were supposed to figure out if he was wrong or right. He was wrong. Just by drawing a picture, you can see that it's not right because 2/5 is less than 1/2 already.

Then we talked about what we needed to add fractions.

What do you need to add fractions?

-common denominator

-same size parts


One way to find the common denominator is to multiply the denominator.



We had to solve 2 other questions using pictures.

Anyway, for homework, we had to solve the following questions using the math way and the picture way.

2/3 + 1/8

1/4 +3/5

1/6 + 3/4

3/8 +1/6

5/7 + 1/2

1 1/2 + 3/4

For the next scribe, I pick Shaneille.
