Outline

• The idea behind this project is to give the
  students a different way to learn, practice, and
  use fractions.
• You are going to see how this project is
  educational.
• You are going to see why it is important to my
  classroom.
• You are going to see what I learned.
• And you are going to see where this project is
  going in the future.

This project connects to technology by

• Using tutorials from websites to learn about
  fractions.
• Using animations to make math problems.
• Using information from websites to apply
  knowledge to real life situations.

4
Tutorials

• Tutorials will be used to guide students through
  a variety of fraction concepts.
• Equivalent fractions

5
Animations

• Students will make fraction problem animations
  through Movie Gear.
• Fraction Movie

6
Real world applications

• Using the MMs website, students will take
  recipes and double or triple the batch then make
  their recipe.
• MMs recipes

Project details

• Lots of fraction practice
• Technology used to make visual aids
• Internet for tutorials

• Websites used to make connections to the real
  world
• Technology used so maybe the unit wont be so
  boring!

What did I learn?

• How to FTP.
• I get confused with the new web design software.
• I dont need to have a flashy website to present
  my information.

• Bunches of websites on fractions.
• Many of the sites can be applied to the real
  world.
• Kids dont like to do all of the work with pencil
  and paper!

In the future

• I hope to have this unit completed!
• I hope to have the students complete most of this
  unit on the computer (or at least with very
  little pencil and paper).
• Incorporate more real world examples as lessons.
