Math:  We will continue in Module 4 and be working on multiplying fractions by fractions.

The first step when multiplying fractions is to multiply the two numerators. The second step is to multiply the two denominators. Finally, simplify the new fractions. The fractions can also be simplified before multiplying by factoring out common factors in the numerator and denominator.

Science:  We will be working on renewable and non renewable resources.  We will also discuss natural resources found here in FL.
