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.

Tutorials
Tutorials will be used
to guide students
through a variety of
fraction concepts.
 Equivalent fractions

Animations
Students will make
fraction problem
animations through
Movie Gear.
 Fraction Movie

Real world applications
Using the M&M’s
website, students will
take recipes and
double or triple the
batch then make their
recipe.
 M&M’s recipes

maybe the unit won’t
be so boring!

What did I learn?

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.
