i learned that using models can be very beneficial to teaching equivalent fractions. Equivalent fractions are also necessary to learning addition and subtraction of fractions. A common pain point with equivalent fractions is finding a fraction outside the problem we are working with that can aid us in the solution to the problem we are working on.

I learned new ways to physically represent fraction values for students. I think there's a lot of value in letting the students explore using these tools so they can understand what the fractions represent, rather than just memorizing solving processes.

When teaching a fractions lesson, there are many things from today's class that I would use. First of all, I would most certainly use the fraction cubes, or the circle fraction pieces to represent that all of the pieces represent one whole, but that the number of pieces can change, which is also known as the denominator. I would also use the visuals on the board to show the students the comparisons between the denominators and show how you can multiply the numerator and denominator by two to get an equal fraction with smaller parts. I thought a lot of the models were very useful!
