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.
