This week I continued reading Chapters 3 and 10 from our textbook. I haven't quite finished the reading yet, but I hope to finish by tonight.
I have started working on my preliminary thesis. I will post this by Monday night to blackboard.
Here is a link to my preliminary thesis. I have both the short and the long versions of the template.

Title: Developing a website for improving the understanding of remedial fraction operations.

A. Assessment scores of new or returning students to the community college.
B. Success rate of students in remedial math courses at the college level.
II. Operations with fractions.
A. What areas students find the most difficult.
B. Examples of uses of technology that help students understand the concept of fractions.
III. Instructional design.
A. Analysis of the problem.
B. Design and development examples that will be used in the instruction of fractions.
This is what I have so far.

I really appreciated your blog. Being able to view the way you did your Pre-thesis was extremely valuable to me. I finally understood what I needed to do by viewing yours. Great job!
Thanks James for your response to my last blog. I really appreciate the confidence you have in me creating a good website for math.
What I meant by word meanings and word problems is that I plan to define the terminology and explore the different meanings as it relates to math. Translating is a good suggestion that I will keep in mind and attempt to do. THanks for the input.

James,
Looks like you very quickly came to some decisions about your project over this past week or so. Looks like you have a strong handle on the direction you are heading. Good luck with that, and as always, let me know if I can be of some assistance.
