Rewrite each expression by renaming the fractions with a common denominator. then decide whether the sum or difference is greater than 1/2, less then one half or equal to one half. 1/10+2/7_>1/2 <1/2 =1/2 5/6-1/4 _>1/2 <1/2 =1/2 18/20-2/5_ >1/2 <1/2 =1/2 3/4-1/3_ >1/2 <1/2 =1/2
 * Fractions**

1. I had 5 1/2 gallons of paint and used 1 1/8 to gallons paint my bedroom. How much paint do I have left? 2. Jill has 4 1/2 granola bars and Jim has 4 3/8 granola bars. How many granola bars do we have altogether? 3. We had 1 2/5 of a pizza left when we went to bed. The next morning 3/4 of what was left had been eaten. How much pizza is left? 4.

I drank 2/8 of it, how much is left? 6. My recipe calls for 6 5/8 cups of white flour and and 4 2/3 cups of whole wheat flour. How many cups of flour does the recipe need?
 * Fraction Problems**

1) How many addition signs should be put between digits of the number 987654321 and where should we put them to get a total of 99?
 * Problem Solving**

2) Divide the face of the clock into three parts with two lines so that the sum of the numbers in the three parts are equal 3) According to experts the first 4 moves in a chess game can be played in 197299 totally different ways. If it takes 30 seconds to make one move, how long would it take one player to try every possible set of 4 moves?

Please check your goals, video and problem solving voicethread are linked and work correctly. On your video page: 4. Make your e-portfolio look attractive by adding in some photos, colour and design to the layout.
 * KnowledgeNet: e-portfolios:**
 * 1) Insert a table - 1 row and 2 columns will do for now
 * 2) Drag your video icon into the first cell.
 * 3) In the second cell, write a reflection of your maths video -
 * how video can help your maths understanding
 * how you think working in a group helps or not
 * any difficulties faced in solving the problem, and in explaining it
 * how video could be used in the future in other areas of maths understanding

When I look at your e-portfolios, I should see -
 * 1) My Learning link with a Mathex link in it.
 * 2) When I click on your mathex link, there will be a Mathex title page with the following links - Goals, Reflections, Problem Solving Voicethread, Problem Solving Video. All these, except Reflections, should be completed and the links should all work.
 * 3) What it means to be in Mathex in the right column on your title page should also be completed.
