We are beginning our study of multiplying and dividing fractions. To begin, we need to understand what multiplying a fraction means. Remember what it looked like in class today when I tore the one whole paper in half?
1/2 of one whole = 1/2
1/2 of 2 = ?
1/2 of 15 = ?
Watch these videos to help you VISUALIZE what finding a fraction OF a whole number looks like.

Write out 3 fraction of a whole number problems you saw on the videos on a piece of paper (including the answers) and bring them with you to class tomorrow.

Snowman at Night
A stanza has 4 lines. One of your stanzas has to follow the rhyming pattern of a, b, c, b (the second and fourth line rhyme).
First stanza - should only focus on setting the scene. Where was your snowman built? What was it like there? "One snowy day, I built a snowman...."
Second stanza - should focus on how your snowman looked when you saw him the next day "His hat was red and black"
Last stanza(s) - should focus on how your snowman must have gotten back to his starting place "So if your snowman starts to show up with sprinkles..."
You also need at least 4 stanzas for the action that will take place in your story.
TOMORROW'S HOMEWORK IS TO COMPLETE 5 STANZAS.
We had time in class today to work on this, so you should have at least 2 done from class.
