Chapter 4 Rational Numbers

Well hello to all of you once again.  It has been so long since I last had a 

blog entry that I almost forgot about it!!!

 Anyway, we are back online doing the blog and I know all of you are so happy about this! 

This chapter is rather a review from the past on the 4 operations of DECIMALS.  I know you will remember the process after the cobwebs are blown out!  In the first lesson, were are looking at Terminating and Repeating Decimals (Both of these terms are vocabulary terms that need to be competed in your Ribbon Book).

Just as it sounds Terminating Decimals and Repeating Decimals  are decimals that END or REPEAT a sequence: Examples of these are .05  1.25.  3.9  and decimals with a bar over them. ( I can't type it but will make sure you understand this in class.)

The Bar Notation is the 3rd vocabulary term for the lesson.  Bar Notation is the tiny little bitty bar that goes over the digit that repeats over and over and over and over and over for ever! 

You will be converting decimals to fractions in this lesson so get ready for this review.

Record 3 things about the blog in your graphic organizer.

Jakub had an awesome opportunity and trained with Jimmy Pedro (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Pedro) on Sunday, January 24^th in Massachusetts.  Not only is Jimmy an Olympic Champion (winning multiple bronze medals), but he is also the coach to Kayla Harrison who won an Olympic gold medal in 2012. It was a great training session and Jimmy was a super nice guy! The attached picture is with Jimmy Pedro, Sensei Emery (Jakub’s Instructor in Portland) and Jakub.

Homework: Read the blog and write down 3 facts from this. Watch the videos and take notes in your new Graphic Organizer.  Complete your vocabulary terms in your Ribbon Book.
