Math Review

Well, since we did not have school Monday and Tuesday is voting I thought I would give you all something to do while at home. Here are some samples of questions that may be on your math test tomorrow. There is NO extra credit for these just practice if you would like to prepare yourself for the test!

Write two equivalent fractions for 3/4

Use >, <, or = to make the sentence true 

1/5 ______  1/9                     9/10 ______  4/10                   4/5 ______  12/15


Write these fractions in order from smallest to largest


4/12,    11/12,   9/12,   1/12,   6/12


1/8,   1/3,   1/6,   1/11,   1/4



Think/draw pattern blocks to solve
