      Kia ora 7F2,


      We have spent extra time in class this week targeting some of our struggles, especially adding and subtracting fractions with 'different' denominators.  Thank you for raising your hand to seek help when you need it, as I am here to help.  It is also important that you carefully view and re-watch your Maths Buddy homework videos, as this will help you to convert your new learning into permanent knowledge.
