Rationale

Vocabulary

Equivalent- Equal

Numerator- Number of parts of the whole

Denominator-Total number of parts in a whole

Objectives

Students will be able to match and create equivalent fractions 9 out of 10 times after using hands-on manipulatives to demonstrate real-world equivalent fractions.

Lesson Essential Question(s)

How are relationships represented mathematically?

How is mathematics used to quantify, compare, represent, and model numbers?

Duration

The lesson will begin and carry over throughout 2 math periods and then the students will complete a formal assessment after determining when they will be prepared.

The students will start the Do Now
1. Shade in the equal parts and write a fraction to represent the model
Use Fraction bars to review and model the Do Now
Hand out lesson worksheet- do the mini-lesson on equivalent fractions
Using fraction bars, complete the practice lesson with table
1. If particular students are struggling, pull them into a mall group to work individually with them
Mini Whiteboard practice while partnering students go up to the smart board to make the equivalent fraction
1. Assess knowledge
2. Game- team points
  1. Winning team gets to choose a small candy
Formative Assessment
