adapting to the way each child learns. With Models.” This program will present students

students’ growth on specific math concepts. two equivalent fractions at the same time.
Teachers will be able to assign specific For example, in the picture above, it shows
questions to students and make adjustments 1/4=?/8 and two rectangles, split into 4 and
to lesson plans based on the information 8 equal parts respectively. The rectangle split
gathered from students’ use of Splash Math. into 4 parts has 1 part colored and the same
part is colored in the rectangle that is split
into 8 parts. Students need to click the fish
that shows the number of colored parts in
the second rectangle. In this case, fish “2.”
This program is very helpful because
Students can also see that the same fraction
can be represented in multiple ways visually.
This program scaffolds student because later
we will also be using more challenging
