Micro Lesson #1 - Planning Assessment



·         This lesson will be assessed informally through observation and a review of students’ math journals.  I chose this method because I intend to teach this lesson in a small group setting.  This will allow me to watch each student’s progress. 

·         The first standard I linked to this lesson is the ability to understand fractions as part of a whole.  Students’ understanding of this will be observable as they create their fraction manipulatives.  The second standard focuses on the ability to explain equivalent fractions.  This will be measurable while students interact with their partners to compare and find equivalent fraction strips and will be documented as students record these relationships in their math journals.

·         This lesson provides students with opportunities to compare and contrast objects, and to think creatively to connect the abstract information they have learned about fractions to concrete examples visible in their lives.
