Reading Comp.

: What is a topic, or subject, of a piece? How can you find the topic or

subject of a paragraph? Would making an list help to organize and eliminate your possible

choices?

“From 500 to 1500 CE, the world's most powerful societies were non-European

imperial

states

. China’s Tang dynasty, the Byzantine Empire, and the Mongol empires controlled much of

the known world. During the Tang and Song dynasties, from about 600 CE to 1300CE, China

grew in population, trade, wealth, new ideas, and artistic achievements.” China had become the

world’s most advanced country.

Grammar

lecture:

Superlatives: good - better - best!

A superlative is a comparative adjective that goes the farthest!

To show that one item is the superlative, that is the greatest within a set group, add

–est

to

an adjective of one or two syllables and use “

most

” for adjectives of three or more syllables.

Also, use “

the

” in the comparison since the item’s superiority makes it a specific noun.

•

It is

the

long

est

book (that we have read).

•

It is

the most

complicated formula (that we will learn).

•

tall, taller, tallest

He is the tallest person in the room.

short, shorter, shortest

I am the shortest person in the room.

good/better/best

bad/worse/worst

I think lentils are good, and beef is better, but

lamb is best!

Drought is bad, floods are worse and fire is

worst of all.

one sentence explaining

why it is

important to understand how fractions work

.

Mathematics: Multiplying Fractions, and Intro. to Decimals.

How would we multiply 3/6 by 6/12?

1.)

Simplify the fractions if not in lowest terms.

2.) Multiply the numerators of the fractions to get the new numerator.

•

3.)

Multiply the denominators to get the new denominator.

4.)

Simplify the resulting fraction if possible.

•

Let’s solve

4/8 * 4/16 = x

Now solve

3/4 * 66/12 = x

How are fractions related to decimals? What is a “decim?”

How could we say “1/10?”

“1 of 10, 1 out of 10, 1 over 10, or one tenth”

How would we convert 1/10 into a decimal?

Would adding zeroes change the result?

Where, and why, or why not?
