FRACTIONS IN THE REAL WORLD!
I don't know about you, but I'm super excited as we begin our "Fractions in the Real-World" project and I look forward to seeing all of the great data you're collecting and organizing! Remember, you are supposed to...
There are a few things you should know about copyright law as you prepare your presentations by finding information online and from other sources. You'll need to make sure that you document and use that information appropriately (example: images, websites, sound clips, & videos). Let's review "copyright," "fair use," "transformativeness," and "creative commons" as they relate to what you can and cannot add to your project presentations. Have fun exploring below!
- ...survey 100 people with your pre-approved question
- ...create fractions from your data
- ...interpret your findings
- ...use a web 2.0 tool to present your findings
- ...then share your findings with the class the week before Winter Break.

CLICK HERE to review COPYRIGHT!
What is copyright!? In this video, you'll learn all about the history of copyright, what it means to apply "fair use," and the difference between copyrighted material and "creative commons" material.
Use the "FAIR USE" definition and checklist below as you add images, sound clips, and/or videos to your presentation. Refer to the image about "TRANSFORMATIVENESS" to determine what you can do to another person's work.
Definition of Fair Use
What is "fair use?" Check out the definition above!
Fair Use Checklist
Use this checklist as you add copyrighted images, sound clips, and/or videos to your presentation to make sure you can claim "fair use!" CLICK HERE to open and print off a checklist to turn in on the day you present your project!
Transformativeness
Is it okay to make changes on copyrighted material? Check out the definition of "transformativeness" above! This image is an example!
CREATIVE COMMONS
Sometimes the owners of copyrighted material give their works a creative commons license. This means it's easier to use and share! Take a look at the icons for creative commons below!
WHEN IN DOUBT...
Still not sure whether you can use an image, sound clip, video, or other copyrighted work in your presentation? Check out the flow chart below!
COPYRIGHT QUIZ!
Take the quiz below, print off your score, and turn it in on the day you present your project findings.
So, what exactly am I allowed to use in my math project!?
