Students were divided into 6 collaborative groups. They were given whiteboards to work compare and order fractions with unlike demoninators. A group of students were selected to create a digitial story of their work who were unable to present their whiteboard to the class due to time. Students created a photo story to explain how compare and order fractions using the images they took with the digital camera.

Reflection:

This project challenged the students to explain what they learned about fraction operations in a fun way. It also challenged them to work together and rely on eachothers knowledge while using technology to create a product that demonstrated their learning.
