Mighty Falcons,
Welcome to the 2nd Six Weeks!
I can not believe how fast time is going and how much we have accomplished. Many of you earned a Level III on your 1st Six Weeks Test and I am very proud of you, keep up the good work. Some of you still have room for improvement and I know we are going to get there with hard work and dedication. I will begin to work with you during recess and remember to always ask for help when need be. Remember it's okay to make mistakes, that only means we are learning.
Congratulations to my homeroom MIT for wining 1st Place in the school-wide popcorn sale fundraiser! We all worked together and none of you ever complained. Anything is possible when we work as a team, you guys are the best!
This week we will be representing ratios and proportions.
A ratio is a comparison of two things. We might compare boys to girls, cars to trucks or hours asleep to hours awake.
Whatever we choose to compare can then be written as a ratio. There are three different forms.
A ratio can be written as a to b, a : b or
Here are some examples:
1.) 4 boys and 5 girls would be written as 4 to 5, 4 : 5 or
2.) 3 parts yellow and 4 parts blue would be written as 3 to 4, 3 : 4, or
