height=\"216\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I recently wrote about the video series I created for Pearson, entitled <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ondemandcurriculum.com\/common-core-in-action-part-i\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Common Core in Action<\/a>. \u00a0I wanted to share one more screen shot from the videos and talk a little bit more about what using <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mackiev.com\/hyperstudio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hyperstudio<\/a> can do to make videos more engaging and visually appealing for students.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a screen shot from the video entitled &#8220;Common Core In Action: Adding Fractions&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ondemandcurriculum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/AddingFractions.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-4342 size-large aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ondemandcurriculum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/AddingFractions-1024x571.jpg\" alt=\"AddingFractions\" width=\"1024\" height=\"571\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0screenshot above is showing the portion of the video where I am adding two fractions with a common denominator of sixths. \u00a0 The sixths are visually represented by purple one-sixth fraction strips.<\/p>\n<p>I used Hyperstudio to create the stage for my video because I can move objects around the stage during the video. \u00a0In this case, I used the stack of one-sixth strips on the bottom of the screen to show two-sixths plus five-sixths as adding a set of 2 purple one-sixth strips and 5 more purple one-sixth strips to obtain 7 of the purple one-sixth strips.<\/p>\n<p>The point in the video where this screenshot is taken, is where I am showing how the improper fraction seven-sixths, can be turned into a mixed number by bringing a red strip to the stage, which is worth one whole. \u00a0Lining up the purple one-sixth strips along the edge of the red one-whole strip, I am able to show that 6 of the one-sixth strips are equal in length to the one-whole red strip, leaving me with 1 one-sixth strip left over. \u00a0Having the ability\u00a0to move around the fraction strips during the video makes it easier to explain visually why seven-sixths is the same as one and one-sixth.<\/p>\n<p>Using the fraction strips is important to the Common Core Standards for explaining WHY a common denominator is needed when adding fractions, and not just having the student perform an algorithm by showing them &#8220;how&#8221; to add fractions.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ondemandcurriculum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/EquivFractionPlaygroundImage.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4384 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ondemandcurriculum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/EquivFractionPlaygroundImage-1024x552.jpg\" alt=\"EquivFractionPlaygroundImage\" width=\"1024\" height=\"552\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>To give you a better idea of what the fraction strips can do for students when I use them in fraction lesson videos, I created a small video where I move around the fraction strips showing how to visualize equivalent fractions. \u00a0You can see that <a href=\"http:\/\/tech4mathed.com\/blogVideos\/WhyHyperstudio.mp4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In the screen shot above, I have created all of my fraction strips so that they are relative in size to the red one-whole strip. \u00a0For example, it takes 2 of the one-half strips to equal the one-whole strip, 3 of the one-third strips, 4 of the one-fourth strips,\u00a0and 6 of the one-sixth strips. \u00a0 Another reason I use Hyperstudio, rather than real fraction strips and a document camera to create the videos I teach with, is because I can create any size and color fraction strips I want.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like me to create a lesson for you, please send me details about the manipulatives (like fraction strips) you would like me to use, along with desired colors, and I will design and create a personalized video lesson for you, on demand!<\/p>\n<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemory\"><a href=\"javascript:\"
