Please do not use the computer, phone, or add wrong numbers during this lesson.

Fractions

A fraction is one number over the other like this:

Numerators and Denominators

Number	Numerator and Denominator	Result
8	is the numerator	Smaller
9	is the denominator
5	is the numerator	Smaller
7	is the denominator

Common Dominators

Fraction Number	Result
½ + 1/2	2/2	Equal
¼ + ¼ + 1/4	3/4	Smaller
½ + 1/4	6/8	Smaller

Only if you change ½ to the equivalent expression 2/4 thus: 2/4 + ¼ = ¾

Multiplication Tables

The following facts need to be memorized.

Multiplication Tables
	3 × 0 = 0	3 × 6 = 18	4 × 0 = 0	4 × 6 = 24
	3 × 1 = 3	3 × 7 = 21	4 × 1 = 4	4 × 7 = 28
	3 × 2 = 6	3 × 8 = 24	4 × 2 = 8	4 × 8 = 32
	3 × 3 = 9	3 × 9 = 27	4 × 3 = 12	4 × 9 = 36
	3 × 4 = 12	3 × 10 = 30	4 × 4 = 16	4 × 10 = 40
	3 × 5 = 15		4 × 5 = 20

Word Problems

Set up the following problem:

If you go to the store and buy 2 loaves of wheat bread and 8 loaves of white bread, how many loaves of bread did you buy?

Reading Comprehension

Rough Road

by Alice Glenn (Orangeburg, SC)

An old raggedy car, with everything you can think of, is falling apart. It sounds good but the ride is bumpy. Got to get somewhere where you don’t know where you are going in the black cold night. You perhaps made a wrong turn where the only thing you know is that your gut tells you it’s wrong and the old car is bouncing up and down and nothing in the dark looks familiar. Scary being alone on that old rough road and Lord and behold what do you think you see? A chair in the middle of the middle of the road. Mm do you go around it? Do you stay on the road and run into it? Oh no the car is already falling apart, and the road doesn’t give any help to the old black beat up Chevy.

I got to get where I’m going. Oh, I see the big old oak tree I am on my way. This road is so rough. If hadn’t turned down this road I might have been there by now. It is almost 9pm. It’s getting late. I must hurry. These rough spots in this road seem as if it has no end. Whew my eyes are getting tiered because it is

so dark. Now I’ thinking a lesson for me to learn. I got to turn the wipers on because the windows are getting all fog up. I am not going to breathe hard it will only make it worth. What’s that noise? Oh yes, the heat is coming on! It feels like I am riding on big rocks all the way. Oh, look there go the old picket fence surrounded by white door posts. I really know where I am going. I will soon be there. I started to turn around but that would have been better or worst.

There’s grandma house. All lit up. I know she was pacing the floor. Safely made it. She will be so happy to see me and her Girl scout shortbread cookies she orders from my girls every year. Grandma love her cookies she said they are baked perfectly and are deliciously tasty. I will not take that rough road back to grandma house.

History

Supreme Court: Roe v. Wade

In addition to major shifts in civil and criminal rights, the 1960s and 1970s saw profound changes in the right to privacy too. As women began to take more of an active role in society and demand equal treatment in the workplace, the issues of contraception and later reproduction came before the Supreme Court.

In 1965 the Supreme Court heard the case of Griswald v. Connecticut, in which the justices struck down a Connecticut state law banning contraceptive drugs.  Although the Bill of Rights does not expressly mention a right to privacy, the justices ruled that the right to privacy exists in the spirit throughout the Constitution, including the self-incrimination clause of the Fifth Amendment.

The notion the constitutionality protected privacy was put to its greatest test eight years later in 1973 when the supreme Court decided the landmark case Roe v. Wade. Prior to 1973 abortion was regulated by the state and was largely illegal across the country. A shift began in the 1960s when several states began to relax their rules about abortion, especially in the case of rape or incest. With Roe v. Wade, the court ruled that the states could not regulate abortion during the first three months of pregnancy, as this period was deemed protected under the right to privacy. It was only during the second three months that abortion could be regulated, and the final three months that it could be banned. The decision gave rise to a right-to-life movement whose members consider abortion to be morally wrong. The impassioned debate between pro-choice and pro-life factions eventually led to alterations to abortion rules, but the struggle to define the limits of privacy continues until this day.
