Summary and Synthesis

These last weeks we have been learning about fractions. We have been using the (CGI) Cognitvely Guided Instruction book. I like this book because it shows very good insites to teaching math. I also liked watching the videos that came in the book. I agree with how the teachers had many different manipulatives that kids could use to solve the math problems. I like how they let the children solve the math problems their way instead of just giving them one way. I also liked how she had them teach the class how they solved it. I am still amazed by how many ways there are to teach fractions. I really like this about them because it could be easier for a student in a way...but it could be harder for a student to do it that way....so there are numerous ways you could teach the students in order for them to understand the problems.
