Screen Casting: Adding Fractions

My name is Alana and I will be teaching you how to add fractions with this screen casting. I chose to make a screen casting because I had only done it once and I wanted to do a harder, more complicated one. First I made the slides with the Smart Notebook on the laptop. Then I recorded my voice to the slides, but it was too quiet and there were lots of background noises. At the end I rerecorded it in a closed room and I spoke louder. Some parts of this project were frustrating and hard, but in general it was fun.

Movie Time! Converting Fractions to Decimals

Hi! I’m Cal, and I’ll be teaching you how to convert fractions into decimals. I’ll be teaching this through a PowerPoint, which I converted into a video. I chose to teach it this way because I thought it would work very well. A challenge for me was how to convert my PowerPoint into a video. I overcame it by asking Katie, the computer person, if she could help. I liked this project because it’s better than math pages and I like technology and would like to learn more about it.

Screen Casting: Equivalent Fractions

Hi! I’m Caroline and I am going to teach you about equivalent fractions. I made a screen casting video. I made a screen casting video because I wanted to talk and give time for the people understand what I was talking about . A challenge I had was when I was trying to preview it didn’t work when I was logged in as anyone else. It only worked when I was logged in, because I forgot to finish it! I enjoyed  this project because I love to see other people’s work, and I thought it was a lot of fun.

Movie Time! Pattern Block Equivalencies

Hi-

I’m Justin and I’m teaching you about equivalent fractions. I’m going to teach you this by making a stop-motion video with pattern blocks. I decided to teach you by making a stop-motion because it was a very good way to teach you for the topic Amanda assigned me.  I thought this was hard because I had troubles trying to get the text onto the pictures. I ended up fixing it in PowerPoint.  I liked this because I enjoyed being able to make a stop-motion video.

Screen Casting: What is One?

Hi! I’m Ana. Today I will be teaching you about if you have a fraction how to figure out what is one whole. Here is an example:

23 goldfish are equal to one fourth of the goldfish, and you have to figure out how many goldfish there are in all? Watch the video and try to answer the question, then after enough people have guessed, I’ll tell you.

I decided to make a screen casting video because I think that it is the best way for people to absorb the math in it. The process was hard but fun. The first thing I had to do was create the slides, that took up a lot of my time because I had to do it on a laptop not the smart board (which by far is easier). Then I got to record on the smart board but you couldn’t here me so I had to re-record with some struggles because it wasn’t on the right microphone (Katie helped me with that). Then I picked music, made credits and edited. I had a lot of fun and I hope you will to with all our new fraction entrees. So I hope you enjoy the video.

Movie Time! Fractions of Whole Numbers

        Hi, I’m Michael. I’m teaching about fractions of whole numbers. I made a power point and turned it into a movie. The reason I chose to make a power point was because I thought it would be easier to learn with each step on a different slide. I had trouble getting music for my video. Katie showed me how to fix it. I liked this project, because I liked the fact that I‘m teaching.            

Another Logic Puzzle

Everybody-

Remember the other logic puzzle I made? Well, here’s a new one. Your mission is to figure out what Laurie, Bill, Joseph, and Anna’s favorite flavors of ice cream are. (Chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and mint chocolate chip.) Here are your clues:
Laurie likes something with chocolate IN it.
Joseph’s favorite flavor is fruit flavored.
Bill’s preferred ice cream is usually white.

NOTE: Last time I forgot to tell you that each person can only have one favorite.
