Circle

I commented on Mr. Avery's blog  Mr. Avery is a math teacher who was teaching his kids fractions.  The way he used his blog was to try to simplify the process of dividing fractions so that the student's had a way to look up the process on their own which they would understand.  He also offered extra credit questions for those students who took the time to read the blog.  My favorite part had to be the rap video that he added on how to divide fractions.  It was very funny and made the topic much more interesting!

In the second post I commented on Mr. Avery was teaching his class about circles.  He used technology to enhance his lesson plan on circles.  He used an iPhone app in his class to give his class an opportunity to have a hands on experience learning and dealing with circles.  They were able to find the radius, diameter and center on the iPhone.  The panoramas they created were very cool and I am sure was a very interesting way for the students to learn about circles.
