Multiplying Mixed Numbers by Mixed Numbers

Boy was our brain stretched today!  This is the video we watched in class to help us multiply mixed numbers by mixed numbers.

Multiplying Mixed Numbers by Mixed Numbers

The Water Cycle

You have done at least 2 water cycle investigations at home.  Can you determine which investigations involved evaporation?  In which investigation did you observe condensation?  What have you learned about the water cycle?  The following video reinforces what you have learned in class.

The Water Cycle

Multiplying Fractions by Fractions

Multiplying fractions by fractions can be fun!  But what can be challenging is showing a visual representation. Watch the following video to learn how.

Subtract Mixed Numbers with Unlike Denominators

Sometimes, subtracting mixed numbers involves ungrouping.  This is similar to other subtraction problems.   Please be careful and DO NOT switch the fractions.

Subtract Mixed Numbers Unlike Denominators

Adding Mixed Numbers with Unlike Denominators

Confused about mixed numbers?  No worries!  Mixed numbers are fractions that are greater than 1.  Watch this video to learn how to solve this problem:

2 1/2 + 1 2/3 = ?

Add Mixed Numbers Unlike Denominators

Subtracting Fractions with Unlike Denominators

What is 3/4 - 2/3?  Something wrong?  Can't solve this problem?  You're correct!  You cannot solve this problem because the denominators are not the same.  Watch the video to learn how to solve this problem.
