Thursdays Quiz

The quiz thursday will consist of 4 matching questions, 4 fraction operation questions (adding like denominator, subtracting unlike denominator, multiplying, dividing), and 2 word problems. One word problem will require turning fractions and percents into decimals and finding the largest value. The second word problem will require adding 3 fractions with unlike denominators.

Each question will require students to be able to turn a mixed number into an improper fraction, perform the operation, then turn the improper fraction back into a mixed number and simplify. Students will receive partial credit if answers are not converted back to mixed numbers or not simplified.

Also, it is important that students show their work. I left lots of empty space on each question for showing their work. If more work is necessary, it should be turned along with the quiz. No work, no credit.
