Fractions videos: making visuals

This morning we finished off our script for the fractions video, and then we made titles for the fractions slides. - Kurt

In the first two periods, we were starting to make our signs for our fractions videos, and Mr. Hoeppner got us the fraction pies to make it easier to to see the pies on our slides. - Jenna

In our class, for fractions in our group, I was doing my own paper that showed converting fractions to decimals. Mikayla was doing the fractions review, and Jenna was doing the title for Introduction to Fractions. - Alexandra

As of this morning, every group had finished their scripts for their fractions and decimals videos. The next job is creating the visuals for their paper slide videos. I photocopied some blank pie charts (divided into quarters, fifths, sixths, eighths, tenths, and twelfths), so that the students could show those correctly proportioned (Have you ever tried to draw a perfect circle, and then perfectly divide it into twelfths? It's hard to do!). Other than that, they are in charge of their visuals. The groups should be finished creating their visuals in a day or two, and then it will be time to reherse and film!
