Rational Numbers

Today in pre-algebra we learned about rational numbers. Our teacher helped us learn this easier by giving some kind of formula. This method definitely worked for everyone. The least interesting part was pretty much learning the method, because at first it was kind of difficult. In my opinion, there actually wasn't much of an 'interesting part' considering math isn't intended to be fun. What I did in order to understand the concept was by paying attention and writing down what she had on the SMART board. What made it difficult is that this method/formula thing had a variable, and a bunch of numbers into a decimal. After a while, I realized it just takes more time but it isn't necessarily hard.
