Fraction Pizzas

Today we will be making fraction pizzas!

You will each receive a tan circle for the pizza, a red circle for the sauce, and 6 triangles for the slices. Other colors will be available for you to make your toppings. Please follow the steps below to assemble your pizzas:

Step 1: Glue the red circle to your tan circle.

Step 2: glue the edges of your yellow triangles in a circle like the ones above. You should be able to bend them up because you will be writing things under the slices.

Step 3: Pick your toppings. You must have at least 3 different kinds of toppings on your pizza and a total of at least 25 toppings. For example, you might have 5 pepperonis, 11 sausages and 9 green peppers. Once you have picked your toppings, make them and glue them on your slices.

Step 4: Decide what fraction of the toppings is on each slice. For example, one slice might have 6/25 of the toppings. 3/6 of these might be sausages, 2/6 might be green peppers, and 1/6 might be pepperonis. Write and label these fractions under each slice.

When you are finished, turn in your pizza and get on Iready Math

Harriet Tubman

The text you need to read is HERE it is all about Harriet Tubman

1920s

We have been learning all about the 1920s.

Which section was most interesting to you?


Create a Kahoot, Google Slides Presentation, Mini-Poster, or write a paper about the section
you thought was the MOST interesting!

Debt, Credit, Interest

CONGRATULATIONS! You have just bought a house and need to fill it with lots of things! You have also been given an allowance which must pay for both your bills and items to put in your house.

As you go, keep track of how much money you have spent so that you know how much you have left!

First, lets begin with your starting amount. You have been given $5000 to pay your bills and fill your home this month. 

Next, lets look at your bills. Subtract the following numbers from your starting $5000. 
House Payment: $900
Electricity: $150
Water: $50
Insurance: $150
Car: $700 (you just had to have that new car)
Gas: $100
Groceries: $400

Now it is time to spend your $$$! Remember your home is EMPTY! 
For your items, you will be shopping at https://www.walmart.com/ .
Some things to think about buying for your new house:
TV
Couch
Bed
Dresser
Microwave
Fridge
Anything else you may want for your home....

BUT WAIT! I know it is hard to buy all the things you want with just a little money. So, I will give you the following options...
$1000 extra in credit to spend today!
$2000 extra in credit to spend today!
$5000 extra in credit to spend today!
this amount should be paid in payments beginning next month with an interest rate of 12%. Interest is the amount extra you owe for borrowing the money. You will be in debt to me if you take the offer. 

If you chose to take the extra money, make a list of additional items that you bought.
