Summary and Synthesis

When learning about fractions, i thought that there was only one or two ways to learn about them but i was definately wrong. After this class it really has shown me especially in the area of fractions that there are numberous ways to teach it using pattern blocks, fraction bars, caesianaire rods, etc.... I think that being a visual learner I would have understood fractions better given these objects unlike what i did have to work with when i was in elementary school. This made me realize just some of the options that i have to help me teach my students about fractions.
