Today's class we learned how to divided fractions. The one difference from this class than any other one is the fact that it was taught by my classmates. They used a different strategy to represent the model and algorithm. They taught a process of division of fractions by looking at the algorithm first instead of the model first. I personally thought this way was beneficial because we were able to see how the numbers were divided and made moving into the models a bit easier to understand. Some of the problems were hard to use manipulatives but was eventually seen how after seeing other examples other people did. I did like how on one example they us use our bodies to show the problem, which was very interesting and fun.
