In this unit we learned about fractions. There are 4 different kinds of fractions and they are: proper, improper, equivalent and mixed fractions. Both Mr. H's (Mr. Harbeck and Mr. Hanley) thought us how to add fractions, subtract fractions, multiply and divide fractions. We also learned how to do cross reduction and make the questions way easier. In my opinion the most hardest thing that we did was the math problems.


Unproject

1. Did you like the unproject.

I liked the unproject because I got to learned more stuff on fractions and also got to learn how to make a movie in windows media player.

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

My answer is yes it did but it was fun and there was a lot of funny parts.

3. What did you like best about the unproject?

I liked when we made the movie the most.

4. What would you change in the next unproject?

I would change it by making it better like putting bloopers, and talking better.

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

Yes, because it was different for me to teach people about something using a movie.

Hello my name is Julie and this is my BOB.

In this unit we learned about fractions. We learned about different types of fractions like improper, proper, mixed and equivalent fractions. Mr. Harbeck also taught us how to add, subtract, multiply and divide. He showed us shortcuts of how to do them, such as the reciprocal, cross reduction and reducing. I enjoyed learning about it. I didnt know about the shortcuts and what not till our teacher showed us how to do it. We also had a big assignment and it was called The Un-Project/Assignment. It was really fun to do and it was a really good way to understand more about fractions because we are getting the information from what we've learned and some people may have did some research about fractions. Mr. Harbeck let us work with other people. I was partnered with Charmaine. We found this web app. called spresent. We did a presentation and a quiz.

HERE IS MY REFLECTION FOR OUR UN-PROJECT/ASSIGNMENT.

1.)Did you like the unproject.

- Yes, I liked the unproject. It was very fun to do.

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

- Yes this project made me work harder because I did some researching to actually this project.

3.)What did you like best about the unproject?

- I liked working with different people and playing around with the web app. that we found.

4.)What would you change about the next unproject?

- I would use a different app. if i find one and I would put more information in and do a better un-project than this one.


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

- Yes,I learned more about fractions because to do the unproject you have to really know about your topic.

This unit was all about fractions. Lessons weren't really difficult. In the beginning, things were quite easy but as the unit went on .. it got so confusing. Like when Mr.Harbeck was explaining how to divide fractions, I didnt get it. As well subtracting mixed fractions when the first fraction (numerator) is smaller than the other one. You always have to borrow. But when Mr.H gave more examples, i started learning some shortcuts and techniques on how to do it. I think I did bad on my quizzes. But no worries, I know how to do them all now :)

questions 1-5 . . .
Doing the UN-Project was fun. All of us had a chance to work with partners. My partner was Julie, we planned things before spring break. We did a background informaion to get us started. Then, gave ideas to add to our topic so that we could explain it well. Julie and Myself are really glad that we finished the project, and it came out really good. The un-project was interesting. It did take alot of time to work on it. We had to edit, add and give ideas everytime. It wasnt that hard because I knew alot of stuff about our topic "What's Fractions ?". I liked what Julie and I did. We did a presentation using the spresent application. It was very interesting and we came with lots of ideas and put it all together. If we had to do an un-project again, I would change the topics and like post something up in blogger. I learned more because it was really fun un-project unlike those boring ones.

Fraction Unit :

This unit was about fractons. We learned about the different types of fractions like proper, improper, mixed and equivalent fractions. && we also learned how to find the LCD, add, subtract, multiply and divide fractions. I thought this unit was pretty easy 'cause i got lots of help from teachers and classmates, and i finally got to understood it. The most difficult thing I had to do was probably solving the word problems because, I wasn't sure when you had to add, subtract, multiply, and/or divide. BUT BUT BUT... we had tests and assignments soo... I THINK I GET IT ?!

Unproject Questions :

1. Did you like the unproject ?

- Yes, because we got to learn a lot and I had fun.
2. Did the unproject make you work harder than you usually would?

- Yes, well kind of, because it wasn't only worth marks, we had to create things, which I am not really good at, and we had to learn nearly a lot about fractions. && I didn't want to let my partner down.
3. What did you like best about the unproject?

- I liked that we got to choose our own partners and what we had to do. Also, I liked it when we created the problems. It was pretty easy.
4. What would you change about the next unproject?

- The next project, I'd probably work really hard and be more creative ?
5. Did the unproject make you learn more because you were doing a different type of project.

- Uhm... Kind of ? Because I learned how to use that slide thingy, when it was soo confusing to me.

Fractions Unit:

For this unit we learned about fractions. We learned about the different types of fractions (proper, improper, equivalent and mixed). Mr.Harbeck and Mr.Hanly taught us how to add, subtract, multiply and divide fractions. They also taught us how to determine the LCD, how to convert mixed and improper fractions and simplify or reduce fractions. I thought this unit was pretty easy. I feel that solving word problems are the most difficult. I also learned that cross reduction makes fractions a whole lot easier to work with especially when you are multiplying. We had many tests and quizzes throughout the unit.

Un-Project Reflection:

Did you like the unproject?

I really liked doing the project because it was a lot of fun. We also had a variety of projects (game, song, movie, wiki post, etc.) to choose from that we could create.

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

This project made me work a lot harder because it was worth 10% of our term 3 mark and there were no rules to follow.

What did you like best about the unproject?

I liked that we could choose any topic that we wanted and there were no rules to follow. I also liked it because we had about a month to work on it.

What would you change about the next unproject?

For the next un-project, I would change my background info by adding more images, detail and effort. I might also change my topic.

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

Yes, the un-project made me learn more because I was able to use a new wikitool for my project.

Well, don't forget there is a test tomorrow. Remember to study! Big paper 2 and the purple booklet are also due tomorrow.
