Well, that finally happened today with our long period. :D
After checking our work from yesterday on adding/subtracting mixed numbers (which we're still working on...), we moved ahead into multiplying fractions, took a WHOLE lot of notes with many examples, practiced some problems, and I even gave them the TOP SECRET about pre-reducing (you'll have to ask them about this one because I was censored from posting that picture below by the students!).
And, they only have ONE problem for homework. Two huge fractions that are multiplied together! This ONE problem is due Thursday (due to block schedule this week they will not see me tomorrow :( )
