Summary and Synthesis

This week we started learning about fractions. I thought I knew alot about fractions, but man oh man am I wrong. There are so many ways to learn about fractions. I would teach fractions in numerous ways. I like that you can use many different things: pattern blocks, fraction bars, and ect. to help student's learn about fractions. Many student's learn better by seeing things done in many different ways. I think it would help student's learn how to do them rather than "just because". In all honesty I learned fractions in the "just because way". This is making me realize that there are alot more to fractions.
