Students will breakdown fractions into simplest form. NATIONAL STANDARDS: Decompose a fraction. Advanced learners will work on word problems involving multiple steps to answer. Students will be diagnostically assessed to determine the amount of background information needed to understand and perform the objective.

WVSU LESSON PLAN FORMAT (Updated 1/13)
Teacher Candidate: Rachael Sherman-White
Date: April 1, 2014 School: Point Harmony Elementary Grade/Subject: 4th Grade Mathematics Unit Topic: Understanding fractions as a part of a whole. Lesson Topic: Reducing fractions Lesson 1, Lesson 2, or Lesson 3? Lesson 3 INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES/ STUDENT OUTCOMES 1. Students will breakdown fractions into simplest form. WV CSOS: M. 4. NF. 3.b Decompose a fraction. NATIONAL STANDARDS: Decompose a fraction. MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK: Overall Time: 50 minute lesson Time Frame: 10 minutes teaching, 30 minutes of shoulder buddy worksheets, 10 minutes of checking answers and answering questions and summarizing. STRATEGIES: Teacher/student led discussions, teacher modeling, and group practice. DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION/ ADAPTATIONS/ INTERVENTIONS Instruction will take place on the Smart Board overhead for visual learners. To assist lower level performers pictorial representation will be used on the overhead and on the worksheet. Advanced learners will work on word problems involving multiple steps to answer to challenge these students. PROCEDURES: Introduction/ Lesson Set The students will be diagnostically assessed to determine the amount of background information needed to understand and perform the objective. Questions such as those on a checklist will be implemented and recorded. PROCEDURES: Body & Transitions Play a reducing fractions video Explain how fractions are reduced Demonstrate how fractions are reduced Explain how to calculate the new fraction is derived

Handout worksheet for students to work on with shoulder buddies Circulate in the room and inspect student work PROCEDURES: Closure: Go over worksheet and answer student questions. Summarize. ASSESSMENT: Diagnostic: Students will be asked questions and they will be expected to produce answers on their white boards. Results will be recorded on a score sheet. ASSESSMENT: Formative: Students will be given a worksheet to practice new concepts. Data from the results of the worksheet will determine the need for further instruction. ASSESSMENT: Summative: Students will be given a summative exam similar to the diagnostic assessment to measure knowledge and understanding and to measure student achievement as an end result. MATERIALS: Smart Board, student dry erase boards, dry erase markers, pencils, erasers, and worksheets. EXTENDED ACTIVITIES If Student Finishes Early: An additional worksheet with more difficult problems will be distributed. If Lesson Finishes Early: Word problems will be introduced using fractions. If Technology Fails: The dry erase board will be used to lead instruction and to clarify questions. POST-TEACHING Reflections Data Based Decision Making
