REFLECTION

After these three videos I watched, I now have better understandings of making a model with fractions and how to use them. These three videos were great help to me because it was easy to understand and it clearly showed how we can multiply fractions in the easiest way. The first video tells me how I can easily multiple two mixed numbers. Even though, I knew the way of doing it, I didn’t really care about the reason we were doing it, but after this video, I was sure. You guys have to watch these videos, it might be a great help for your learning in fractions.

  1. fraction √
  2. numerator √
  3. denominator √
  4. improper fraction √
  5. mixed number √
  6. simplify/reduce/lowest terms √
  7. relatively prime (maybe)
  8. GCF √
  9. LCM √
  10. like fractions √
  11. equivalent fractions √
  12. estimate √
  13. benchmarks √
  14. sum √
  15. difference √
  16. product √
  17. multiply √
  18. algorithm (not really)
  1. name a fraction √
  2. make equivalent fractions √
  3. move between improper fractions and mixed numbers √
  4. find the LCM of two numbers √
  5. recognize when two numbers are relatively prime (maybe)
  6. move between fractions, decimals and percents EFFICIENTLY using concept based strategies! √
  7. Recognize the most common fractions, decimals and percents:  1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/8, 1/10 √
  8. compare fractions EFFICIENTLY using at least 4 different strategies. (not really)
  9. sort fractions into benchmarks of 0, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1, 1 1/2 √
  10. find a fraction of a number, ex.  1/2 of 48 or 12/15 of 20 √
  11. find the ESTIMATED answer to addition and subtraction fraction and mixed number problems √
  12. find the ACTUAL answer to addition and subtraction fraction and mixed number problems √
  13. write algorithms for adding and subtracting fractions and mixed numbers (not really)
  14. prove that 2/3 + 4/5 does NOT equal 6/8 in at least 2 different way √

Things that you will be able to do by the end of this week:

  1. use a model to show multipllication of fractions √
  2. mutliply fractions √
  3. mutliply mixed numbers EFFICIENTLY √
