Here are some problems to try this week.  I hope you are having a fun keeping you math mind busy.  Have you played any games?  Do you still thing you know all your addition, subtraction and multiplication facts.  While you’re sitting at the beach one day why don’t you play some math war.  Have fun with numbers.

Ella ate 1/4 of the cherries for her snack.  How many cherries were there to begin with?  How many did she eat?  See if you can come up with at least four different possible answers for this problem.  There are lots.

Which is larger?

a) 1/4 or 3/8?

b) 3/6 or 1/3

Explain your reasoning.

Chris says the fraction 6/6 is equivalent to 1.  Jon says 6/6 is equivalent to 6.  Who is correct?  Explain how you know.

Leave a comment to let us know what you solved and how you thought about the problems.  If you can, write your own problem in your comment so we have more math to try.
