New Insight and Their Implications

In class we were discussing fractions and how to divide the candy bars equally for a certain number of kids. I have not thought about breaking away from the halving strategy. It is the easiest thing to do, so I have always just done it. I also thought that looking through that book was interesting because I would have never guessed that there were so many different types of manipulates that we could use to teach fractions, and some of them are not very expensive. I never would have realized that buying the ones without the fractions labeled will be more worth while.
