Fractions Are Alright!
March2
“Fractions, fractions….they’re parts of a whole….”
Are you ready to jam out fraction style?! Please watch the following video. Afterwards please post a comment for homework that shares something you learned. Can you include detail and follow the rules of writing too?!
i learned there is a part and whole.
Mason, great observation! It isn’t neat how math concepts we learned earlier in the year are important in other areas too!?!
Me to moson.
I think the same thing as you Mason. I also learned that there’s a part and a whole.
Cool Mason!
I love frachins.
Trey, I am so glad you love fractions. They are pretty neat. What is something you learned in the video?
Fractions are parts of a whole, like slices in a pizza.
I learned that whole’s and parts deal with fractions.
Tessa, I love that fractions are reminding us that parts and whole are not just in bar models. Parts and whole are everywhere in math. Great observation.
Mason i learned the same thing.
Wow i didn’t know that fractions were so much fun.I learned the same thing as Mason and Tessa.How funny That me, Mason and tessa thought of the same thing.
cool
I learned 1 third is almost 1 qorter.
Cyler, I love that you added a comment that tells me what you learned. I also love that you were able to learn that 1/4 can also be said one quarter.
Nice cyler thats cool.
I learned that the denominator is the number on the bottom. And I learned that the fraction 1/2 is pronounced “one half” instead of one second.
Lucca, I love that you took what you learned from the video and from today’s lesson and combined them into one awesome comment!
Nice!
Thats cool lucca.
A piece is like a slice of pizza and an uncut pizza is a whole. My mom cuts my pizza in 8 slices and my dad cuts it into 10.
Johnah, I love that you tied in a real word example of fractions. Math truly is everywhere.
I think that pizza is a good idea
Fractions can tell me how many pieces are shaded. For example, if a circle has 4 pieces and 1 is shaded, it’s called one fourth.
Eli, that is an excellent description and it is so great that you are able to put that into words. Whoot!
I thought the video was cool. I didn’t know that fractions could be above 10. We used a chocolate pie as an example.
Mia, I love that your observation of fractions being above 10 and your real world application of chocolate pie. You are making me hungry. 🙂
You are right .mmmm!
Fractions are awesome!!!😉
Neetika, I would agree that fractions can be pretty cool. I would love to know what you learned from the video. How could you put that into a complete sentence or two?
There is a numarator and a denomarator. A fraction is a shape cut into equal parts and something like this:
1
_
2
I learned that there is a whole and a part.
Olivia, I love that we are making the connection that parts and whole are literally everywhere in math. How do you think bar models and fractions are similar?
I learned that they is a whole and part.
Alexis, that is a great observation. I can’t wait to show the class the Fraction Exploration Google Doc tomorrow! 🙂
Fractions are awesome because you get to use types of your favorite foods.
I agree Walker!
Walker, I love your connection to fractions and food! They do usually work hand in hand.
I learned that a whole and a part are fractions!
I like fractions because you get shapes. I love shapes!
Daniel, what a great observation. I never really even thought about that. Do you think fractions always deal with shapes or could you think of a time when a shape wouldn’t be involved?
Fractions have 2 numbers
I love fractions because you can you’s shaps.
Blake, great idea. Why do you think fractions use shapes? Why do the two go so well together?
I learned that the top of the fraction is called the numerator that is the part of the whole.
Lucy, I love your reflection about fractions and how the numerator is the art of a whole. I also appreciate that you were able to use math vocabulary. What do you know about the denominator?
The drenomrater is at the botem .It is calld the that beacause d is for down.
When you have parts of a whole, fractions are what you need to know. The numerator is on top because it is “NU” for Numerator Up, and the denominator is down, because it is D for down.
Cayden, this is an awesome way to remember the numerator and the denominator! We will have to talk about this during our math lesson tomorrow!
A fraction is a part of a whole.
I also think that.
Magnus, that is a perfect way to state it and I love that parts and whole are resurfacing again during math. What are some ways you use fractions around your house?
I liked sing the song.
Caroline, I am so glad you liked the song. What did it teach you about fractions?
fractions are pretty helpful.
Fractions are parts like one third.
Sophia, I love that you were using math vocabulary to as a part of your reflection. What does the fraction one third mean?
I like fractions, but this video wasn’t my favorite. To me, it seemed kind of slow. I understood fractions better when you taught us in the classroom. You helped me realize fractions better than the video. As I was learning about fractions I realized I had never heard the words numerator and denominator,after you taught us I knew what they meant.
Casey, wow wonderful reflection! I appreciate your honest feedback. I am glad that the lesson in class helped you and taught you something new. So how could we make this video better? What would you add to it or how would you jazz it up?
AWSOME!
Fractions are 2 parts that are the same width and sise.
Me to Ava!!!
I learned that there is a part and a whole.
I learn that a lot of names like if you sad 1/3 that is one third.
That made me learn a lot!
I learned that numerator means never under.
I learned that fractions are parts of a howl that are colored in.
I learn that you can draw a fraction into a equal or unequal.
I learned that fractions are pretty helpful in math.
I did not know three thirds made a whole.
