Jing

Overall I have to say that I really like this tool.  I am still having a little difficulty figuring out how to size the capture but I am working with it.  I decided to create a picture involving fractions.  I used a Hersheys bar to so parts of a whole.  I know chocolate is not a healthy choice for children but it is a great way to show parts of a whole because each piece is equally proportioned.  It would be easy to use this tool to make follow up or reteach activities following an actual hands on lesson using real candy bars.
