Assignments |
1) Your first Challenge Assignment is to watch video #4 and then explain strategy #4 using words, diagrams and math. Include at least five examples not used in the video for each strategy (4a - closer to one whole; 4b - closer to one half). You can use any format you wish. Submit it to Google Classroom when done.

2) In the video on the left, Khan shows you how you could order 5 fractions using strategy #2 exclusively, but it takes him almost 8 minutes to do so.
Show how you could use strategies #3, #4 and perhaps a bit of #2 to order these five fractions more quickly than using his lengthy method. |
