Link for Tonight's Homework Assignment
Below is the link for tonight's homework.
Like last night, REMEMBER:
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
That's 20 Xes!
How can I divide up those 20 into 10 parts? Well.. Take a look at this:
XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX
I've put them into groups of 2. How many groups are there? That's right, 10! I've divided up the total into tenths!
So if 2/10 of the flowers are yellow, that would be 2 groups out of the 10. So how many individual roses is that?

Like last night, REMEMBER:
- You need to show your work on your neat sheet for all 20 problems.
- Write on the lines and keep your work neat.
- Number each problem.
- Skip at least 3 lines between each problem. Do NOT pre-number your paper. You don't know how much pace you will need!
- Tonight's assignment is MUCH tougher! But you can do it!
- If you get stuck, no worries... Move on to the next one. We'll talk about the tougher ones tomorrow.
- Here's some help with #1 to get you started.
Paige put 20 flowers in a vase on the table. Two-tenths are yellow roses. How many yellow roses are in the vase?
