Fractions

Lately Fractions have been a big topic in class. Whether it's multiplying, adding, subtracting, dividing or reducing. It's a lot to comphrehend if you're not used to doing it. So for this week I looked into a couple websites that explain how to solve equations with fractions. The best one I found is a website strictly dedicated to solving problems with fractions. Here is the website. On the Navigation bar at the top there are places that will take you to how to add, subtract, multiply and divide fractions. It teachs using visual aids like pie charts which is a phenominal way to teach fractions.

Number Lines

Number lines are becoming more common in my Math class. Number lines provides a visual representation of many math Problems. What has been happening more often is when people try and use decimals inside the number line. A Basic Number line has 10 numbers evenly spaced out. However in between each of those numbers there are 9 more numbers that can be used as decimals, even though sometimes the lines arent written in. This Website has a video and a short explanation on how to locate decimal places on a number line properly.
