Topic:

Introduction to Fractions

I. Objectives

  • Understand the concept of fractions as parts of a whole.

  • Learn how to compare and order fractions with like denominators.

  • Practice identifying fractions in real-life contexts.

II. Key Concepts/Content

A. What is a Fraction?

B. Types of Fractions

C. Comparing Fractions

  • A fraction represents a part of a whole.

  • A fraction is written as two numbers: a numerator (top number) and a denominator (bottom number).

  • Proper fractions: Numerator is smaller than the denominator (e.g., 3/4).

  • Improper fractions: The Numerator is larger than the denominator (e.g., 5/4).

  • Mixed numbers: A whole number combined with a fraction (e.g., 1 1/2).

  • Fractions with the same denominator can be compared by their numerators.

III. Teaching Strategies/Methods

A. Direct Instruction

B. Interactive Learning

  • Introduced the concept of fractions using visual aids (fraction circles and bars).

  • Demonstrated how to write fractions and explain their meaning.

  • Students worked in pairs to identify fractions in real-world scenarios (e.g., dividing a pizza into slices).

IV. Student Participation/Engagement

  • Students were actively engaged during the visual demonstrations.

  • Most students answered correctly during the practice questions, but a few needed extra support with comparison tasks.

V. Assignments/Homework

  • Complete pages 5-6 in the textbook, focusing on comparing fractions.

  • Write a short paragraph explaining a situation where fractions are used in real life.

VI. Assessment

  • Observed student participation during the lesson, noting that most students grasped the concept of identifying and comparing fractions.

  • Some students struggled with improper fractions and mixed numbers, requiring additional review in the next lesson.

VII. Reflection

  • The visual aids and real-life examples worked well in engaging students.

  • Need to review improper fractions and mixed numbers in the next class to ensure full understanding.
