Benchmark Fraction Introduction Sheet from Mr. Cuthbert You can access this here- it lists all the benchmark fractions What is a benchmark fraction? In math, benchmark fractions can be defined as common fractions that we can measure or judge against, when measuring, comparing, or ordering other fractions. Benchmark fractions are easy to visualize and identify, and thus, help in estimating the parts. When comparing two fractions with different numerators and denominators, we can either make their denominators common or compare them to a benchmark fraction such as 1/2. Benchmark fractions are most helpful when fractions to be compared are placed on a number line against the benchmarks. Helpful Videos Created by Mr. Harrington I would just suggest that you pause throughout the videos and give yourself a chance to try the methods on your own before the video gives you the answer.

  Study Guide for Stretching & Shrinking Unit Test Essential Learnings: Apply coordinate rules to stretch or shrink shapes and then plot them. Understand ways that stretching or shrinking a figure affects lengths, angle measures, perimeter, and area. Specific Skills: Draw shapes on coordinate grids and use coordinate rules to stretch (x, y), shrink and move the shapes. Determine the way that stretching and shrinking a figure affects lengths, angle measures, perimeters, and areas. Identify similar polygons and use scale factor and side length ratios to prove the similarity between polygons. Calculate the scale factor of two similar shapes and find measures of angles in similar polygons. Apply the relationship of scale factor to perimeter and area. Use the properties of similarity to find distances and heights that you can’t measure. Use specific vocabulary appropriately, use the terms we have learned and discussed in class-specific vocabulary is posted in the classrooms as well as
