   I notice that the LCD is 8.
   I notice that they have different demoninators
   I notice that the fraction 3/4 is the biggest
   I notice that the fraction 1/8 is the smallest

   Notice
   - Mr. Davis rented 4 movies
   - all movies are >1 hour and <3 hours
   - all movies are a whole number of hours and some part of an hour, expressed as a mixed number (not as minutes)
   - I can convert the mixed number to minutes using a proportion, like 3/4 = x/60
   - Searching for Sara is the shortest movie
   - The Array is the longest movie
   - The movies appear to be listed in order from shortest to longest
   - All but one of the fraction parts (of the movie lengths) have a numerator of 1

   Wonder
   - why do you need 4 movies for 1 weekend?
   - why did he rent these titles?
   - if I wanted to watch 2 per night, which two would I watch to have approx. equal viewing time each night?

   Notice:

   -The lengths of the movies are in order from least to greatest from the top of the chart to the bottom of the chart.
   -The lengths of the movies are expressed as mixed numbers.
   -Searching for Sara is the shortest movie and The Array is the longest movie.

   Wonder:

   -Are we going to compare the lengths of the movies?
   -Will we need to find a common denominator for the fractions?
   -Is Mr. Davis going to watch all four movies over the weekend?
