Summary and Sythesis

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.
