Micro Lesson #1 - Plan Instruction



·         I will help students understand that the goal of the lesson is to be able to understand where fractions come from and how to create and represent them. 

·         Third grade state standards include understanding that a fraction is the quantity formed by dividing a whole into any number of equal parts (b) and representing one of those parts as 1/b.  This lesson helps students manipulate a whole into many different variations of equal parts by cutting paper into various sizes and then labeling each with its fraction name.  Students are then able to physically compare the sizes of different parts to determine which are equivalent. 

·         This will be engaging and appropriate for students because students will each have their own set of materials and will be able to participate in a whole group lesson, using technology, while still participating individually.  It will cater to multiple intelligences, including visual, kinesthetic, and social as students work with partners.
