BOB fractions

fractions??? uh i think i started learning about fractions when i was in grade 1. but i strated learning adding, subtracting, multipying and dividing fractions when i was in grade 4. but i forgot all about it, like i forgot how to do it. anyway, in this unit, i learned about fractions again (kinds of fractions, how to add, subtract, multiply and divide fractions). when we started doing the 1st page on the purple booklet, i thought that i wouldnt be able to understand on how to do those things, but i actually do understand it. i have struggled in some of our quizes because i really get confuse of some fractions especially when it comes to adding and subtracting fractions. well, the purple booklet really helped me to understand everything. for me, i really think that i did a great job, because im not really having some problems in this term not like before.

lets talk about the unproject thingy, well i really had a great time working with my partner which is junebe. well the project that we did was a slide. we did it because we thought that was the easiest. in our project, we explained about our topic, our topic was adding and subtracting fractions. we also put some examples in each slides. its kind of hard though, especially when draw some pictures on paint =). but yeah, atleast me and junbe have done something and we really gave lots of efforts doing that. well i think thats all i can say about our project.


oh yeah!! thanks mr henley and mr harbeck for helping and teaching us about fractions!=)

The fraction unit was sort of easy, yet sort of complicating at some points. What I found easy was making fractions equivalent to each other & multiplying them. It was easy for me because you only had to multiply the numerators by each other then the denominators. The part that confused me the most was the word problems because I sometimes forget when to multiply/ divide/ add/ or subtract. Right now, I sort of know how to do it, but I still need some help at times. During this unit, what helped me the most was using cross reduction. It helps a lot because it makes numbers easier to multiply.

Also in math, we did an unassignment. As a partner, I chose Angelic M. It didn’t really take us as long as we thought it would. For the unproject, we did a song about fractions. It didn’t really make me work harder as I usually would; the fact that I procrastinate a lot. What I liked best about doing this unproject was trying to sing the song with Angelic because we had non stop laughs & a lot of fun. What I would change in the next unproject is to maybe find a way to make our background info more creative and to work more on our song and see if we can make it better. I don’t really think that doing this unproject made me learn more because the only thing we had to do here was explain what fractions are. Basically, they are parts of a whole. However, if we were to talk more in detail, we would talk about the different types and how to solve/convert them; which is pretty easy. I guess the only thing that this made me learn more about was using different computer programs to edit and record our song & different websites to make our images and put them into slideshows.

In this fraction unit, things weren't really difficult. As we were learning about the unit, there were some things that refreshed my memory and things that fixed some problems that I were having with no questions asked. One thing that gave me trouble were word problems. It confused me on when to multiply or divide on the problems. I still need some work on that and hope to find a more easier way to solve them. Also I did have trouble on drawing the pictures to compare on the problems, but when Mr. Harbeck explained it over and over again, started making sense to me.

On the un-project assignment, my partner was Jaymie. We made a slideshow on explaining "What Are Fractions??" First we made some pictures to explain our background information. Then we brainstormed some things on how to make our slide show perfect. It took us a lot of time to put it all together and it wasn't easy. We used every reference that would help us to put it all together.

I hope the next unit will be easy and not so confusing.

I had so much fun with this unit, because I thought this unit was the easiest one that we learned from the first day of the school, until now. It also refreshed my memories about fractions too. The easiest part was to multiply the fractions. I only had to do cross reduction and multiply the Numerators and the Denominators, than I just had to put it into a mixed fraction or a proper fraction. The hardest part was to figure out whether I should solve the word problem with adding, subtracting, multiplying or dividing. Now, I know what word means to add, subtract, multiply or divide. I learned that you could estimate the answer by drawing a picture. THANKS MR. HARBECK & MR. HANLY! =)

I had fun with doing my fractions assignment. My partner was Sarah, and I think we really worked hard as a team. We made a PowerPoint slide show for our project. The project really made me to work more harder than I usually would. If Mr. Harbeck didn't assign the project, I would have been fail the tests that we had during this unit. The best part of all was to make a slide show. The bubbleshare didn't work so I used slide.com instead, and it turned out really well so I think it was the best part. If I have another chance to do this project again, I'll write the information more specifically and will have more pictures and questions to explain more. This project made me learn more too.

I hope I would do well with the next unit that is coming up, and I wish that I won't forget about the fractions.
