Why did you choose the concepts you did for your unproject? • How do this project provide an overview of your best mathematical understanding of what you have learned so far? • Did you learn anything from this assignment? Was it educationally valuable to you? (Be honest with this. If you got nothing out of this assignment then say that, but be specific about what you didn't like and offer a suggestion to improve it in the future.)

 =<span style="COLOR: rgb(255,76,0)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(255,76,0)">__Jessica Q's Reflection:__ = <span style="COLOR: rgb(5,5,5)"> <span style="COLOR: rgb(5,5,5)"> Why did you choose the concepts you did for your unproject? We chose the concepts because, we knew more about fractions due to the number of months we learned it for. We wanted to expand our learning and tried to explain what we learned and explained it in our own words.

<span style="COLOR: rgb(5,5,5)">**//How do this project provide an overview of your best mathematical understanding of what you have learned so far?//** This project provided an overview of our best mathematical understand of what we learned so far by using pictures, explaining using our own words, and making songs. We made learning fun and easy! I think that it shows that we understand what we are doing while we did this project because we supported our deails with pictures, words, games, etc. and tried to make it interesting and pretty instead of plain and simple.

Yes, I learned something from this assignment from adding fractions, subtracting fractions, multiplying fractions, and dividing fractions. Because we're all different people, and we have different understanding, we combined our knowledge of fractions and learned something from eachother.
 * //Did you learn anything from this assignment?//**

Yes, it was educational because, we learned fractions in the very beginning of the school year, and as we learned about more things, it started to blur. If I ever forget how to add, subtract, multiply or divide fractions, I could sing the songs we made and remember the quiz too. <span style="COLOR: rgb(8,7,7)"> = Angel's Reflection: =

// ** Why did you choose the concepts you did for your unproject? ** // We chose to do songs for our unproject because, if we ever forget how to add, subtract, multiply, or divide fractions, we can always come back to this project and learn it all over again, the "Harbeck" way.

// ** How does this project provide an overview of your best mathematical understanding of what you have learned so far? ** // This project provides an overview of our best mathematical understanding of what we learned so far because, we covered all of the strategies to add, multiply, divide, and subtract fractions. // Yes, I learned something from this assignment because, we learned from eachother about what we know about fractions, and we looked over all of our blog posts on blogger. It refreshed my memory. // Yes, it was educationally valuable to me because, it helped me learn fractions much better and it was a better way to study for the exams coming up. = Kenny's Reflection: = __**//Why did you choose the concepts you did for your unproject?//**__ We chose to make songs and a quiz for our unproject because, it was easy and an "educational" way to understand fractions better.

This project provides an overview of our best mathematical understanding of what we have learned so far because, we explained how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions using easier strategies. (E.G: clocks, money, standard algorithm)
 * //__How does this project provide an overview of your best mathematical understanding of what you have learned so far?__//**

Yes, I learned something from this assignment because, instead of having a big booklet of review questions for the math exam, we were able to make a project so we can understand what we know better. It was hard, but fun! It was easier for us as days passed by.
 * //__Did you learn anything from this assignment?__//**

Yes, it was educationally valuable to me because, it's been so long since we learned about fractions and we worked on them for such a long time. So as we learned about different things, I started to forget things about fractions. Good thing we had this project to help us better with out understanding of fractions.
