New Insights and Their Implications

It was interesting learning about the different steps you have to teach in order for students to be able to learn fractions. There are some things that we talked about in class that I never really thought about when working with fractions. Fractions was one concept that I thought was very difficult to learn when I was in the younger elementary grades, so that is why I found this to be so insightful. Talking about this in class gave me a new perspective on how to teach fractions and also made me realize the different new terms that you need to introduce to students when learning about fractions. I also thought that looking through the magazines was very helpful to get some ideas on some hands on activities that you could use in your classroom. Learning about this was very helpful for my future teaching of fractions and ratios.
