10. Geo Blocks with Fractions


10. Geo Blocks with Fractions





Reflection
·       Geo blocks are a great way to get students to learn math which I’ve stated earlier in the blogs, but once again in fractions it becomes clear how these blocks can help students connect to the question.
·       In the third picture a student can represent 1/3, 2/3 or 3/3 (a whole) easily without having to struggle and lose focus.

·       The problem once they use the Geo Blocks, are they going to be able to stop using them and be able to do the math using just signs and symbols? Only practicum and time will tell.
