Lesson Plan Template This lesson plan template is designed to support pre-practicum teacher candidates’ growth in the area of developing well-structured lessons with challenging, measurable objectives and appropriate student engagement strategies, pacing, sequencing, activities, materials, resources, technologies, and grouping This lesson is written by: Brittany Martins and Alexis Silva in collaboration with (Julia Schwarz, Amy Quill, and Victoria Drew) to be taught in Mrs. Berube’s fifth grade class at Mary Baker Elementary on April 3, 2017. Lesson Title: Fractions and Word Problems
Estimated time: 45 minutes
Lesson overview: This will be the last lesson taught to students’ in order to meet our standard. We will focus our lesson …show more content…
For example, in our third pre-assessment question, which had a word problem and the students had to write an equation based on that problem, none of the students answered it correctly. We saw misconceptions such as adding, subtracting, or multiplying fractions rather than the division that we were looking for.
Within our lesson the students will be engaged due to the focus question being given as to how to correctly break apart a word problem. By having a focus question, the students will want to know the answer, and hence will want to be actively involved in the discussions. The discussions as well as the mini questions such as “What is this question asking,” it will give the students the ability to critically think about the problem.
Within the lesson, students will be grouped into partners of two or three based on their organizational skills. This will allow some students to work on bigger sheet paper, while other students can work on smaller plain paper. By doing this, it will address the organizational needs of all …show more content…
We will then teach students how to take that equation and solve it by using models and fractions in order to find the quotient. Students will be given the opportunity to walk up to the board and circle the words that they think are important in a particular word problem, as our worksheet will be placed on an overhead projector. Students will also be given the opportunity to work with partners in order for them to discuss the steps and strategies they are using to solve word
