"We are two simplified fractions. Our LCD is 12. Our denominators are consecutive integers. The numerator and denominator of one of us has a difference of 3. The other fraction is greater than 50%. Who are we?"
Now it's your turn to make the riddle. Begin yours with "We are two simplified fractions. Our LCD is..." Then continue to give clues that will lead the reader to discover your two simplified fractions.
Be creative with your clues! Make sure that only two fractions are possible answers, and remember, no improper fractions for this activity. Good luck!

Difficult Equations
We will be solving equations all year long, and this will continue throughout all of your future mathematics courses.
1. Out of all of the equations we've solved in this chapter, what is the most difficult type for you to solve? (If everything feels easy to you, what do you think is the most difficult out of the easier problems?)
2. Now invent an equation that you think would be tough for most of the students in the class to solve. Then solve it. Be very careful to make sure that you write the equation correctly using the keyboard. Post the equation and its solution in this same blog.
