Students can use the line, rectangle, and oval tools in
Paint, a
program that comes with Windows, to make circles, squares, and
rectangles and utilize the color fill to demonstrate a variety of
fractions (or decimals). These images can be saved and inserted in a
Word document or a PowerPoint presentation in which students create a
math word problem to correlate with the fraction image.
Students can write word problems and illustrate them through PowerPoint. Students can give their word problems to other students to solve, emailed to another class to solve, or post them online. Middle School Samples
