No, my number is not 1/2. Can you think of a yes/no question you could ask that might narrow down the choices?

My number is not 1/3. Try to ask questions that will narrow do your choices? For example, you could ask if the fraction is improper.

    Here you will find suggestions for learning at home. You are not required to do all of these activities, but I encourage you to do something that interests you in reading, writing, language arts, science, math, and social studies each day. I will post new ideas for all subject areas as I come across them. Please add to the comments as you complete activities. I will respond to comments each day.
