Good job, Jayvee. I wasn't here for most of the class, so this really helped. The pictures were very informative and you explained everything really well. I also like how you used colour to highlight important words. I think you should have used ÷ instead of /. Since you're working with fractions it could be confused as a vinculum.
ReplyDeleteGood post Jayvee. I like how you added pictures and how everything was cleary explained and organized. I also like how you used a different colour font to make certain words stand out.
