Vocabulary
Dear Family,
Today my class started the Fractions and Decimals chapter. I will learn how
to find the Greatest Common Factor and the Least Common Multiple. I will
also learn how to compare and simplify fractions and how to write them as a
decimal. Below are my vocabulary words for the chapter.
p.s. Look on the back of this letter to find activities we can do at home or in
the car. There is also a list of books for us to read.

• Give your student the measuring cups. Point out the different size measurements found on each cup.
• Write all of the sizes on a sheet of paper.• Find the least common denominator (LCD) for
all of the measurement sizes and find equivalent fractions with that LCD for each measure.• Order the sizes from least to greatest and arrange the measuring cups accordingly.• Write at least three more equivalent fractions for each size measurement.
At Home ActivityMaterials: measuring cups with fractional measurements labeled, pencil, paper
Travel TalkWhile driving in the car, instruct your student to look for whole numbers in various places and name all of its factors. Have students compare the factors of two numbers to find the greatest common factor.

Vocabulario
Estimada familia:
Hoy comenzamos en clase el capítulo Fracciones y decimales. Aprenderé a
hallar el máximo común divisor y el mínimo común múltiplo. También aprenderé
a comparar y simplificar fracciones y a escribirlas en forma decimal. Estas son
mis palabras de vocabulario para este capítulo.
P.D.: En la parte de atrás de esta carta hay actividades que podemos realizar
juntos en el carro o en casa, así como una lista de libros para que leamos.
Cariñosamente,

Actividad para el hogarMateriales: tazas para medir rotuladas con medidas fraccionales, papel, lápiz
Para los viajesMientras viajan en carro, pida al estudiante que busque números enteros en varios lugares y exprese todos sus factores. Pídale que compare los factores de dos números para hallar el máximo común divisor.

• Dé al estudiante las tazas para medir.Señale las medidas de diferentes tamañosque se encuentran en cada taza.
• Escriban todos los tamaños en un papel. • Hallen el mínimo común denominador (m.c.d.)
de todas las medidas y hallen fracciones equivalentes con ese m.c.d. para cada medida. • Ordenen los tamaños de menor a mayor y coloquen las tazas para medir de acuerdo a ese orden. • Escriban al menos tres fracciones equivalentes más para cada medida.
