For my project I made posters for math. One of the posters used the fraction bar templates in the program. I thought that it would be great to make a game using these bars and have the students find as many fractions as possible for 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4 using the fraction bars and moving them to line up and prove the equivalence. This would also be great for making worksheets on fractions easily. My other poster was about naming polygons by their sides. This program would be great for the students to make their own connections about different polygons. They could use mine as an example and have the students make a web showing how all the different triangles relate to each other and their possibilities like that the only type of equilateral triangle you can have is acute. They can also organize and explain the different quadrilaterals and their characteristics using this program. It is very user friendly and students can definitely benefit from organizing their thoughts in this manner.
