LCD projector: A projector can be used in the classroom, while students are giving input on slates and other written documents, to demonstrate visual representations of fractions. Student desks can be arranged in a horseshoe shape with the teacher/projector in the middle. This format allows the teacher to see every student and briefly assess the answers they produce on the dry-erase slate.

This can be used to practice any skill on the overhead projector! "Grabbers"-Using transparency with fractions, or any content students need to learn, students place their grabber on the screen over the information you are asking them to know. Grabbers are made by cutting various shapes from neon colored cardboard. When they place the grabber on the overhead it looks as though the information has been highlighted. Have the student walk toward you with the grabber. As he gets closer, the information grows (gets larger).
