Exploring Fractions Fun !

​

Objective:

Students will be able to identify, represent, and compare fractions up tp twelfths.

​

Assessment:

Students will be given a worksheet with various shapes divided into parts. They will need to label the fractions represented by the shaded parts for each shape.

​

Key points:

*Identifying fractions in shapes

*Representing fractions visually

*Comparing fractions with like denominators

*Understanding fractions up to twelfths

​

Opening:

*Begin the lesson by showing pictures of pizza slices into different fractions.

*Ask students: "How can we describe the parts of the pizza into fractions?"

​

Introduction to New Materials:

*Show students examples of shapes divided into parts, such as circles and rectangles, and discuss how to identify the fractions represented.

*Address the common misconception that the larger the number in the denominator, the larger the fraction.

​

Guided Practice:

*Provide shapes divided into parts and ask students to identify and represent the fraction for each shape.

*Scaffold the questioning from simple shapes with halves and quarters to more complex shapes with eighths and twelfths.

*Monitor students performance by walking around the class, checking their work, and providing immediate feedback.

Lesson PLan #1

Lesson Plan #2

Working with Fractions

Objective:

*Students will be able to compare and order fractions with unlike denominators.

​

Assessment:

*Students will complete a worksheet where they compare and order fractions with different denominators.

​

Key Points:

*Understanding how to compare fractions with unlike denominators.

*Using equivalent fractions to compare.

*Ordering fractions from least to greatest.

​

Opening:

*Begin by asking students to think about a scenario where they need to compare different fractions in real life.

*Engage students by presenting a set of colorful fractions strips and asking them to identify which fraction is larger in different pairs.

​

Introduction to New Material:

*Explain the concept of comparing fractions with different denominator using visual representations and examples.

*Address the common misconception that a fraction with the larger numerator is always greater, regardless of the denominator.

​

Independent Practice:

*Distribute worksheets with a variety of fractions comparison problems to each students.

*Instruct students to compare and order the fractions independently, showing their work for each problem.

*Encourage students to use discussed during the lesson.

Exploring Fractions

​

Objective:

Students will be able to compare and order fractions wit like denominators.

​

Assessment:

*Students will complete a worksheet where they identify, compare, and order fractions with like denominators. They will also explain their reasoning for the comparison made.

​

Key Points:

*Understanding the concept of fractions.

*Identifying fractions with like denominators.

*Comparing and ordering fractions with like denominators.

*Using visual models to represent fractions.

​

Opening:

*Engage students by asking: "Can you think of a situation in your daily life where you have used or seen fractions being used?"

*Show a half of an orange and ask students how they would represent this fraction.

​

Introduction to New Materials:

*Introduce fractions as pars of a whole or a set.

*Identify fractions with like denominators using visual models.

*Common Misconception: Thinking that the numerators is, the larger the fraction, forgetting about the role of the denominators

​

Guided Practice:

*Provide examples of fractions with like denominators for students to compare and order.

*Scaffold questioning from easier comparison to more challenging ones.

*Monitor students performance by circulating the classroom and providing feedback as students work through the examples.
