Today I showed them how to make equivalent fraction videos using Pixie. First they created a picture of themselves using the built-in camera and the paint tool.  Next they used the fractions clip art to show a whole and a fraction of that whole.  Then they used the text box tool to type the fraction and its equivalent, and they recorded a voiceover explaining how the fractions were equal.  I showed them how to go to File > Duplicate Picture and create a few more pictures with voiceovers showing various fractions of the same whole.  Finally they exported their pictures as one video by clicking Share > Video > Create. You can take a look at a couple of student examples: <a href=\"http:\/\/teachers.henrico.k12.va.us\/staffdev\/clough_d\/ITRTFiles\/45Spring2014\/4thEquivalent\/Kendall-Fractions.mov\">Kendall<\/a> showing fractions of a pizza and <a href=\"http:\/\/teachers.henrico.k12.va.us\/staffdev\/clough_d\/ITRTFiles\/45Spring2014\/4thEquivalent\/Krystal-Fractions.mov\">Krystal<\/a> showing fractions of an orange. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fourth graders in Ms. Thomas&#8217;s class at Varina Elementary have been learning about equivalent fractions (SOL4.2b).
