I LOVE how you are learning your fractions! Fractions can often be a very tricky topic to understand, but they are best understood when you, the students, get to visually and physically be able to see what fractions are! In my math class last semester we discussed what manipulatives we could use to teach fractions... have you tried measuring cups? Cooking as a class has many learning opportunities, along with being great fun! If a recipe asks for 1/2 cup, what other measuring cups could you use to make 1/2 cup? Just a thought... keep up the awesome work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8670262587298233558.post-7092994961404723312012-05-22T09:56:16.910+12:002012-05-22T09:56:16.910+12:00I am an education student in my forth year at the ...I am an education student in my forth year at the University of Regina in Saskatchewan, Canada.
