Recently in class we've been talking about fractions; addition, subtraction and a little bit about multiplying fractions. I found the last lesson that was taught in class to be rather interesting. A new concept of teaching fractions was brought about and I thought, "why didn't anyone show me that before?!"
The fraction table method that they showed us we new information for me and I was really impressed with it. It is defiantly something I would teach to my students. Not only does it show you the break down of the fraction and give you the least common multiple, but it also works other math skills like multiplication tables. I didn't expect to learn anything new with the lesson and I was pleasantly surprised when i did.
The house project we've been working in recently however hasn't been so plesent. My group was assigned the task of figuring out the area of the roof to figure out how many shingles would be needed. It took us quite awhile to figure out where to start and even longer to get a good idea of what the roof actually looked like. I'll admit i'm still struggling with this class and i'm worried about the midterm but I have to trust that there is a light at the end of the tunnel i'll eventually see.
