Fraction+Review

You have been learning about fractions for a very long time. Follow the steps below to refresh your knowledge of fractions prior to our studying fractions in class. Let's start with a review of some terms.

1. Create your own word cloud using Tagxedo. You can include any math terms you think about when you are working with fractions. Along with single words, you can add phrases by putting a ~ between the words. Challenge yourself to have at least 10 words.

Click sample fraction Tagxedo for an example that I created. You may use some of my words, along with new ones. Go to the Tagxedo site and click create to begin making your own!

2. Next, you are going to brainstorm all the things you already know about fractions. Look back at your word cloud to give you some ideas, then using Webspiration, create your own mindmap. Your main idea will be titled, "All I know about fractions" and will be the center of your web. Each branch should be color-coded to help you keep the ideas organized by topic. Check out my example to help you. Here's the link to Webspiration to get started. Need some help with the symbols, look at the getting started tips. Or, watch this you tube video for a tutorial.

3. Let's have some more fun by creating a comic strip. Using Pixton for Schools, create your own comic. Be as creative as you can be. The only requirement is that each frame includes speech bubbles that references fractions and reflect what you know. Want to see an example? Take a look at my sample comic strip!
