This week we had the Unit Test on ch.4 - Geometry on Monday. On Wednesday, we started our unit on Fractions/ Decimals/ Percents. We first reviewed and practiced the meaning of 'fraction', 'numérateur' and 'dénominateur' using drawings. We learned about equivalent fractions and practiced by drawing equivalent fractions to 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 2/3, etc. using circles and rectangles. We also studied the relationship between numerators and denominators in equivalent fractions (both multiplied by a same number) and practiced to find a missing number in equivalent fractions.

Proof and Investigation:
This week we learned that different tests can be done on fabrics in order to distinguish them. Students had the opportunity to test different fabrics (cotton, polar, wool, nylon, polyester, etc.) by doing the following experiments: color, feel, extension, liquid absorption, color resistance, folding, microscope observation (type of threading), burning/melting (done in a demo by teacher)
