began class by using their flashmasters. Next, students jumped back
into chapter four. We reviewed GCFs and LCMs, as well as equivalent fractions before students were introduced to comparing and ordering fractions. The least common denominator, or the LCD, was introduced to students and we spent the remaining time comparing fractions together as a class, by finding the LCD for each fraction we were comparing.
