Putting fractions in lowest terms sounds simple, but often it presents difficulties if we don’t have good strategies.
Go to the page under PFD to find the video.

“The Stomachion is an ancient tangram-type puzzle. Believed by some to have been created by Archimedes, it consists of 14 pieces cut from a square. The pieces can be rearranged to form other interesting shapes. In this lesson, students learn about the history of the Stomachion, use the pieces to create other figures, learn about symmetry and transformations, and investigate the areas of the pieces.”
I really like the area questions.
Has an Activity Sheet.

Note: The MyMathLab (MML) homework (which is for practice) will be left open through the end of the semester. This is following a request by a student. This way it can be practiced later on for exams and the final exam.
The graded homework (which are quizzes inside MML) of course have a due date.
