LESSON PLAN for Mathematics
For the week of Oct 6-10, 2008
DCPS STANDARDS COVERED: 6.NSO-N.2 / 6.NSO-N.5 / 6.NSO-N.7/ 6.NSO-C.8 / 6.NSO-C.10
Maria Angala, ELA/ Math Resource Teacher
FRACTIONS: multiplication & division
Connected Mathematics Bits & Pieces II / Accelerated Math Topic 8
WARM UP: Different math word problem and writing prompts will be given daily.
Lesson Overview:
In this lesson, we will learn to multiply and divide fractions - in the easiest possible way! Problems like these can often appear to be difficult. What we will learn to do, however, is to simplify the problems so that they are actually quite easy to do. So, the first thing you learn to do will be to simplify the fraction problems. Then, doing them will be a piece of cake.
Also, in completing these lessons, you will find that it's easy to learn but hard to remember. Because you have these lessons, however, you will always be able to recall the correct way to solve math problems by returning to these lessons and relearning them will help fix them in your memory. Repetition is quite often necessary in learning and remembering new things.
By learning (and later reviewing) the multiplying and dividing procedures in this lesson, you will be in command of valuable skills that you will use throughout your life.

DAY 5
MATERIALS:
Fractions Jeopardy game: http://www.elko.k12.nv.us/ecsdtc/ppp/fractions.ppt
Simplifying fractions notes: http://www.mathsisfun.com/simplifying-fractions.html
METHODS & STRATEGIES:
WHOLE CLASS DISCUSSION: Teach the concept of simplifying fractions to the class.
REVIEW: http://www.mathexpression.com/fraction-worksheets.html
QUIZ: Math quiz on fraction.
JEOPARDY GAME: http://www.elko.k12.nv.us/ecsdtc/ppp/fractions.ppt Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division of Fractions
ASSESSMENT/EVALUATION:
- Teacher to observe students during their demonstration of multiplying and dividing fractions; and then being able to use these conversions in estimations, computations and applications and use these skills in everyday life and in the workforce.
- Students will formulate judgments about the ideas under discussion and support these judgments with convincing evidence and discuss within their group. Each group will present their findings. Student groups, who are observing the presenters, will use a “Checklist” and note the number of correct answers and the number of potential applications of multiplication and division of fractions given by each presenting group. After the presentations, the observing groups will compile the information presented, and graph the results to present the validity of ideas as presented by each group.
- Students demonstrate and apply the concepts contained in the foundation and pathway standards through classroom application and displayed knowledge.
WEEKLY HOMEWORK:
Please submit these Connected Mathematics Bits & Pieces II worksheets on Friday with your parent’s signature.
