Fractions:
I think this unit was pretty straight forward . i learned most of these things in the sixth grade, and this unit just refreshed my memory . The easiest thing for me was adding and subtracting, it was easy because its just like regular addition and subtraction but just with a bit more work. Then theres multiplication and division. multiplication was easy for me, once we learned the strategies to make it more simple. then division was just like multiplication with a couple more steps . the only thing that was difficult for me was some of the "word problems" not all of them . just some . the only reason it was hard was because i had to find out if it was adding, subtraction, multiplication, or division.
UnProject:
1. Did you like the unproject.
Yeah . i did like the unproject. calling it an UNproject kinda put less pressure then a PROJECT. ha
2. Did the unproject make you work harder than you usually would?
No, i worked as hard on it as i usually would with others .
3. What did you like best about the unproject?
The best part about doing this project was the food =P . we got to do anything . so me and monique made a cooking show =). I also like the filming .
4. What would you change about the next unproject?
In the next unproject, i think i should put more math work into it . so now im going to think "more math . less food."=P
5. Did the unproject make you learn more because you were doing a different type of project.
Yes. this made me learn more, because it felt like we weren't really doing work . Just fun, but we're still learning at the same time .

Michael's Fraction B. O. B. [V 1.0]
Fractions:
I think that this fraction unit was pretty simple (bring it on, algebra and geometry!), once I learned how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions. Multiplying was easiest, especially when I learned cross-reduction. For me, adding and subtracting, wasn't something that was "hard", just something I didn't like doing. I don't like finding common denominators, though I'm comfortable with them.
UnProject:,
1. Did you like the unproject.
Yes I like doing the unproject, because since we had a chance to do whatever we wanted, it gave me some room for some creativity.
2. Did the unproject make you work harder than you usually would?
I think that it did make me work harder, because since we had a chance to do anything we want, it would be easier. It made me work a bit harder than on the growing post and scribe posts.
3. What did you like best about the unproject?
What I liked best was actually writing the story and putting the images together for my unproject. I found it fun to utilize a computer game in a math project. It's nice that we could do whatever we wanted.
4. What would you change about the next unproject?
I'd probably take some more time on the background info, but other than that, I'd do everything else pretty similar.
5. Did the unproject make you learn more because you were doing a different type of project.
I don't think it made me learn more than if I did, say, a growing post, since it would have the same information. (Though I learned much more about using Sims 2 for making movies xp©)

Blogging on Blogger (B.O.B.)
In this fraction unit, it refreshed my mind of how to add, subtract, multiply and divide fractions with same denominators, different denominators, common denominators and lowest common denominators. We learned so much in so little time. My favourite thing in this fraction unit is dividing and multiplying fractions. It's my favourite because to me, multiplying and dividing fractions are really easy to do. Another thing that I like was doing the purple booklet that was given to us in the beginning of the unit, it was fun to solve the fraction problems and solving the riddles, but some of the word problems were a little bit hard for me because I didn't know what to do at first, like to add, subtract, divide or multiply. But I think I got the idea now.
Un-Project Reflection
1. Did you like the un-project?
Yes, I really like doing our un-project because we didn't have specific rules and instructions to make or do our project. So we were free to do anything that we wanted, like a movie, a song, a game and more! I think that this un-project was fun because my partner and I got to choose what kinds of projects that we wanted to do that was comfortable to us.
2. Did the un-project make you work harder than you usually would do?
This un-project did kind of made me work harder because sometimes I was trying to get our project to look like something that would satisfy me and I had to do a great amount of tries to get the right ones but overall, it was fun to do and I didn't think it was hard.
3. What did you like best about the un-project?
The best part about the un-project that I liked was that we got to choose and do any kind of project that we wanted and that we could do anything for our project so that I didn't really have to worry that I am going to lose some marks because I didn't follow the instructions. Also, another thing I liked was that I got to show my creativity in our projects.
4. What would you like to change about the next un-project?
I don't think that I would like to change anything about the next un-project because I got to do what kind of project I wanted and that I was comfortable with it.
5. Did the un-project make you learn more because you were doing a different type of project?
Yes, the un-project did make me learn more because I learned how to use something called "spresent" and that I learned how to use it's gadgets and make a whole new thing that I new I couldn't even make.
If I have missed something or made a mistake, please comment me and tell me.. thanks!

Un-Project
Hello, this is another Un-project that we did for Adding and Subtracting Fractions. We had to embed it here because the wikispace didn't let us since this takes up a lot of space. We hope you enjoy it and please comment if you have any problems. (Click on the fullscreen button to see more clearly).
For more unprojects go to spfractions.

The Unproject Reflection .....
1) Did you like the unproject?
Yes, I like the unproject because you got to do whatever you wanted to do for 10% which made it awesome because you did have to do a certain thing, you could just do what you were the most comfortable with.
2) Did the unproject make you work harder than you usually would ?
Yes, it made me work harder because we had to do something other than some paper work. The good thing about it is there wasn't any writing to do, it could be whatever you wanted pretty much.
3) What did you like best about the unproject?
What I like best about the unproject was how Jeff and I got to act things and make our own movie about fractions. We had some pretty funny times haha.
4) What would you change about the next unproject?
I wouldn't change anything about the next unproject because it was so fun and you got to do whatever you wanted. It was awesome.
5) Did the unproject make you learn more because you were doing a different type of project ?
It kind of made me learn more because of how some people explained how to do certain things which made it much easier for me to learn about and I caught onto things a lot quicker.

Jeff's [b.o.b]
1. Did you like the unproject.
I did like doing the unproject because it was fun doing it and i got to show my "CREATIVE" side.
2. Did the unproject make you work harder than you usually would?
Hmm.. the unproject did not make me work harder than i would in a project because we had the chance to choose what we want to do with our project.. not the traditional powerpoint, photostory, etc.
3. What did you like best about the unproject?
The thing that i would of thought was the best of doing the unproject was that we got to choose the partner I wanted and the way I was to show our topic.
4. What would you change about the next unproject?
i thing i would change about my unproject was to film a scene at school, outside, or even at the mall. I would like to make it like that "street magic" thing you see one tv and go up to complete strangers and ask then to tell the kids at our school something about fractions.
5. Did the unproject make you learn more because you were doing a different type of project.
This unproject did teach me way more about fractions than if i were to do a report about fractions.
"This bob contains a virus and will crash your computer.. the virus is in your computer in 3, 2, 1.... SYKE!!"

Lalopoulou's BOB
This term in math we were learning a very painful subject to learn. FRACTIONS. This term i learned how to add and subtract fractions of all kinds. Im still working on the multiplying and subtracting part cuz i was having a bit of trouble with that before but now its understandable. Here are the answers to the questions Harbeck wanted us to answer:
1. Did you like the unproject. Yes, i did cuz it was fun and i kinda learned while creating the boardgame me and teagan were making.
2.Did the unproject make you work harder than you usually would? Yes, cuz we mad a boardgame at first, but we didn't know that the game was supposed to be online. So Harbeck came up with an idea to make a video of us playing the boardgame. We haven't really gotten to that part yet.
3.What did you like best about the unproject? I liked the part when Harbeck told us that we weren't supposed to make an actual boardgame but that we were supposed to do it online.
4.What would you change about the next unproject? I would ask if we are supposed to do it online of make an actual thingy-ma-bob.
5.Did the unproject make you learn more because you were doing a different type of project. Yes it did. It taught me to ask for instructions before hand, and how to do fractions.
