First we discussed fractions of a group and viewed various examples. Then we discussed how we might illustrate these types of fractions with animations. The students had some great ideas: a group of oranges that progressively rotted, a candy bar being eaten in sections, a bunch of ice cream cones melting one-by-one.  We went to <a href=\"http:\/\/brush.ninja\">BrushNinja<\/a>, and I instructed the students to draw their group of objects at the beginning when they all looked the same.  I asked, <em>What fraction would this represent<\/em>? Since the animation is showing the fraction that had changed, we figured that we should write the fraction as 0\/total. To save time, I showed them how they could duplicate the drawing, make a change to one object in the group, write the fraction, then continue that process until all the objects had been changed and the final fraction was total\/total. Or as another option, students could redraw the picture in each successive frame with the changes and the new fractions. The final projects turned out great.
