Subtracting mixed numbers

In Reading we finished our work on our book presentations. Tomorrow we will present as groups about what we have read. New books on Friday for Mr. S's groups...

In Math we talked about the most difficult of the fractions topics: Subtracting Mixed numbers. If we don't have to borrow these are easy, but if we need to borrow, we take 1 away from the whole number and add "1" in fraction form to our "upper" fraction. then we can simply subtract. Look at this example if you need help!

 One more passed the fractions to decimal quiz and two others only made one careless mistake each. Can you pass by tomorrow? Yes!!

We did not have band or technology today as Ms. Maria our librarian was out on a field trip. We used the time to read!
