8th Grade Math:  Today in 8th grade pre-algebra, students began class with their flashmasters.   Students used the foldable they created on adding and subtracting fractions and mixed numbers and multiplying and dividing fractions to complete a worksheet on multiplying and dividing fractions.  Students will be allowed to use their foldables on the upcoming chapter test.  As students finished the worksheet they transitioned into playing fraction checkers against one of their classmates.  

Assignments:   Students should be spending at least 15 minutes on Study Island by Friday.
