Action plans and movie scripts. We are making good progress. The pressure is on

In today’s math
lesson the students learned about comparing and ordering fractions. The grade

Remember to compare fractions with different denominators you must first find
equivalent fractions so they can be compared directly.
The students learned how to use, pictures number lines and straight
arithmetic to solve problems.
