Math:
Today in math we completed a minute which dealt with dividing fractions, completed computation on white boards and discussed the following vocabulary terms: perfect number, abundant number, deficient number, rational number and irrational number. We also worked on problem solving which stumped everyone except one student. We will work on a similar problem tomorrow.

We also graded pages that were completed on Friday and started our lesson of the day which deals with balancing a mobile and the vocabulary word fulcrum.
