Connect

Connect summarizes the math in the lesson.
A presentation of ideas connected to the lesson focus.

TEXT Pages 142 - 143

Read/Work through the  Connect  section on Pages 142 - 143  in your textbook.

There is a lot to read here,  but I feel like the “bottom line” method is to avoid the problem, turn any mixed numbers to improper fractions, and USE WHAT YOU ALREADY KNOW!

You will see this multiple times in the examples and practice problems,  so I didn’t make a video for the Connect section, there really is nothing new here.....

Examples

Examples will give you TOOLS for solving problems, and also show you that there may be different ways to approach a question.

If possible share your thoughts/ideas/answers with another person.
If you can help them understand, then you likely have good understanding yourself.

Check questions require basic understanding of the ideas of the  lesson.

Apply questions will require you to dig deeper for a solution.

Take It Further questions offer enrichment and extension.

Notes

Question 2,    your choice... though, for the long term,  the “right” answer is the multiplication pattern method.

Question 15,    “make your own”,   you can check the answer in the back if you do this one
