Summary and Synthesis

This month flew by and I have gained a lot more knowledge on certain areas than I had before. Most recently was the knowledge I have been gaining on fractions. To be honest I never analyzed how we teach fractions, I feel I never paid attention because fractions has always been an area that confuses me at times. I can't wait to find out why we flip a fraction for division because I really have no idea why we do that, or how even multiplication works. I know how to do all of that I just don't know why we do it. I think pointing out 3/4 to one whole is completely different 3/4 to a different whole. When I first learned about fractions this confused me until I got to Junior High, it is something I am going to make sure is clear when I become a teacher.
