Reducing Fractions

Today we talked about reducing fractions... or "fractions shedding their skin"!

Our main rule for reducing fractions to their lowest terms is to divide the top and bottom of the fraction by the biggest number that will go into both of them evenly.

To practice?  The kids are to complete the 8 problems in the middle of the sheet I gave them.  A few kiddos have a handful to complete tonight. :)
