Interpreting Fraction as a Whole

1. Short description about the material.

 

This is a short video clip converted from powerpoint presentation aiming to teach interpreting the fraction for grade II students which they need to know that, how to interpret if a shape is divided into equal parts, each part is called a fraction. Similarly they will be able to name the fraction depends upon how many equal parts into which the shape is divided as they go on interpreting the fractions.  

 

2. Description on how I created the material.

 

To make this material very presentable, meaningful and enjoyable in the process of teaching and learning, I have used some of the ICT tools such as shapes inserted from the insert buttons and used various animations in each picture including duration, delay timing, start with previous, color and motions path, voice over and background music as well. Moreover, after finishing the creation of the materials on power point presentation, I have used recording tool like earphone to record the voice over as per my script and inserted in the ppt slides. Having done all these formalities, than I have converted the powerpoint into Video form and uploaded in the blogger.

 

3. Where and how am I going to use this material in the teaching and learning process?

It would be used before the Activity, during the activity and after the activity to check their understanding of those fractions. Similarly this material is specially designed with intention to benefit those young learners to improve their academic performance. Generally, it will be emphasis on the students being able to identify and pronounce correctly the fraction names such as one half, one third and one forth with the help of simple shapes presented in the video.
