In Math Workshop, we have been been studying area models of fractions. Through homework, we have also been reviewing fraction concept using linear models (number lines) and set models (groups of objects). All of these models are important in helping to develop conceptual understanding of fractions.
The links below are helpful in reviewing some of the "big ideas" we have been studying in class. Use them to review and clarify your understanding of fractions. :-)
What are fractions?
Fractions
How can you make and identify equivalent fractions?
Equivalent Fractions
How do you find the "Greatest Common Factor" to put a fraction in lowest terms?
Greatest Common Factor
:-) Enjoy.
Students, leave a comment to share your thoughts on these Study Jams links.
Fractions is what I need to now! How I find the greatest common factor is put all the multipals of those two numbers see what numbers they both have and see what greatest common Factor

Wow I knew you could divide fractions to get a equal fraction but never multiply! Zach
ReplyDeletefirst,you take the two numbers and see what numbers they can divide by. Then,you write the numbers that the numbers divided by that are the same and then take the highest number that is the same and then you know what the gcf is(greatest common factor)Audrey
ReplyDeleteWow! the study jams REALLY helped me improve in math! abigale
