Tear's Fraction BOB and Reflection

Fraction Unit

Adding and Subtracting fractions went well on me but I wasn't quite 100% successful on it because I sometimes use the common denominators instead of the LOWEST common denominator. When I don't double check my work, I tend to make silly mistakes. In class, I pay attention and I'm always on task. Most importantly,if I don't know how to do something, I ask Mr. H. for explanation. The hardest thing in our fraction unit for me is Dividing fractions because I sometimes mistakenly multiply instead of divide or vice versa. I mostly get confuse when it is in a word problem.


UNproject

1. Did you like the unproject?

- Yes because it was pretty easy because we get to choose our own topic and our own project. It helped me be more creative with it and having to choose your own partner helped too because there's someone else that could help me with it.

2. Did the unproject make you work harder than you usually would?

- Yes, a little. It is a UNproject and so it is worth a lot of marks so me and my partner had to show that we spend a lot of time on it and that it had to be cool. We started a lonf time ago so yeah, I worked longer than I usually do.

3. What did you like best about the unproject?

- I like putting the images on my quiz on the wiki the best because when we first made our quiz on quizstar it is kind of hard to put pictures and we can't put why the answer is correct and other pictures. Working on our UNproject was awesome.

4. What would you change about the next unproject?

- I wanted to do a powerpoint game and only if I knew before how to be able to embed then I would have been able to do a powerpoint game. I was planning to do a "WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE?' game.

5. Did the unproject make you learn more because you were doing a different type of project.

- Yes because to actually make a quiz, we have to make up simple but unique ones. Then we had to think how we solve it and lastly how we show that our answer is correct. I learned more actually than doing a scribepost! I also learned how to trick other people by adding challenging questions.

Fractions:
Well fractions was pretty easy at times when learning multiplying,dividing,subtracting and adding fractions it was pretty straight forward. Adding and multiplying were pretty easy especially when i learned how to cross reduce with fractions. For me i didn't like subtracting and dividing it was because just sometimes complicated for me. But even thought i liked some types of fractions and i didn't like other types they I was still able to do them.

Unproject:
1.Did you like the Unproject.
Yes I did like the Unproject because it gave us some thinking of what should we could do and it sort of gave us some goals to achieve.

2.Did the Unproject work make you work harder than you usually do?
Well i guess it made us work harder because we had a project to finish and we did had to come up with something for a mark right and it also gave us some creativity with the project.

3.What did you like best about the Unproject?
What i like best about the Unproject was me and a partner had to work together and have fun with are project and it also gave us time to think.

4.What would you change about your next Un project
What I would change would be picking a diffrent or more challenging topic and do something creative with it and also out more or better background info.

5.Did the Unproject make you learn more because you were doing a different type of project?
It didn't really make me learn more it just made me think harder and be more creative but it also sort of made me learn more about wikispaces

fractions:
The easiest thing I did this term in fractions was adding and subtracting fractions. The hardest thing was dividing fractions. One thing I need to improve on is the pictures for dividing fractions. I don't get how to draw the pictures and get the answer and it confuses me.
The unproject:
1.The project was fun was kinda of fun. Designing the site was fun.
2. The unproject made me work a little more harder.
3. I like designing my project the best.
4. I would probably be more prepared so that I could do a better job.
5. I don't think it made me learn more because I was doing a diiferent type of project.

Adding Fractions

To add fractions you first have to find the lowest common denomenater. But if they already have common denomenaters you do not have to do this step. Then you add the numerators up. Then you add up the denomenaters. If the numerater is larger than the denomenater then you have to turn it into a mixed fraction. Make sure you reduce the answer if you can. See examples on how to add fractions.

Ex.1) 3/4 + 3/86/8 + 3/8= 9/8= 1 and 1/8

Ex.2) 3/4 + 1/4= 4/4= 1 whole

Adding Mixed Fractions

To add fractions you first have to find the lowest common denomenater. But if they already have common denomenaters you do not have to do this step. Then you add the numerators up. Then you add up the denomenaters. If the numerater is larger than the denomenater then you have to turn it into a mixed fraction. The last thing you have is you have to add up the whole number. Make sure you reduce the answer if you can. See examples on how to add mixed fractions.

Ex.1) 3 and 1/4 + 4 and 2/4= 7 and 3/4

Ex.2) 2 and 3/4 + 6 1/8= 8 and 7/83/4 would become 6/8 and 1/8 stays 1/8

Subtracting Fractions

To subtract fractions you fist have to find the lowest common denomenater. But if they already have common denomenater yoou do not have to do this step. Then you subtract the numerators. Then you subtract the denomenaters. If the munerater is larger than the denomenater you have to turn the it into a mixed fraction. Make sure you reduce the answer if you can. See examples on how to subtract fractions.

Ex.1) 3/4 - 2/4 = 1/4Ex.2) 3/4 - 1/8=6/8 - 1/8= 5/8

Subtracting Mixed fractions

To subtract fractions you fist have to find the lowest common denomenater. But if they already have common denomenater yoou do not have to do this step. Then you subtract the numerators. Then you subtract the denomenaters. If the munerater is larger than the denomenater you have to turn the it into a mixed fraction.Last you have to subtract the whole numbers. Make sure you reduce the answer if you can. See examples on how to subtract fractions.

Ex.1) 3 and 3/4 - 2 and 2/4 = 1 and 1/4

Ex.2) 4 and 2/4 - 2 and 1/4 = 2 and 1/4

Multiplying Fractions

To muitiply fractions you first have to mulitiply the 2 numeraters toughter. Than you muitiplt the 2 denomenaters toughter. When you multiply you do not find the lowest common denomenater. if you can reduce the fraction then reduce it. in the following example you will see how to multiply fractions.

Ex.1) 2/3 x 3/5= 2x3=6 3x5=15= 6/15= 2/5

Find the common denomenater

To find the common denomenater you have to follow the following steps. First you find the lowest number that both of the denomenaters can both fit into. Then say you have 3 as your denomenater and you want to change it into 6 you have to times it by 2 so if the numerater is 2 you have to times it by 2. so the fraction will now be 4/6. if it is reducable you have to reduce it. So 4/6 will become 2/3. See examples for an idea on how to do it.

Ex.1) 2/3 and 1/2 so it will change to 4/6 and 3/6the lowest common denomenater will be 6.

Ex.2) 1/3 and 1/4 so it will change to 4/12 and 3/12the lowest common denomenater will be 12.

Reducing your answer

To reduce your answer you have to make sure both you numerater and you denomenater divide by the same number. So the first step is you have to find a number that divides between both numbers. Then you reduce them. See example on how to do this.

Ex.1) 2/4 = both of them are dividable by 2 so the answer is 1/2

Ex.2) 6/8 = both of them are dividable by 2 so the answer is 3/4

Ardia's Fraction B.O.B

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!
