How to compare fractions

Back to blogging

It has been a while since I have posted but I'm back! Recently I have had great success with producing vodcasts of content Mathematics lessons for my Year 7 class covering decimals and fractions. Students and parents have both commented that it allows them to watch a demonstration of how to undertake a particular concept over and over, which in turn helps with the application of that concept. Unfortunatley, however, this has meant I have had to produce at a great rate! Hence my lack of posting, as I have been placing them all on our school CMS for my students. It is also a pain that eBlogger does not allow direct upload of SWF files!

Hope you all enjoy the next installments - one of my fellow staff members had to leave his office the other day because the person he was sharing with wasy playing my vodcasts!

Place Value

This is my first attempt at a vodcast using Camtasia studio 5.
This is a vodcast for Year 7 students as part of a unit on Decimals. It covers the basic concept of place value for both whole numbers and decimals. There are several examples to allow students to apply thier understanding to typical questions.
