fundamentals, how to write numbers, what each number means, greater than
and less than numbers, adding and subtracting numbers.

STATE
OBJECTIVES
Audience:
The intended audience are students in a Standard 5 class
Behaviour:
Students will be able to identify regular fractions,
describe what a fraction is and consists of,
identify a numerator and denominator, add fractions with the same denominator,
add fractions with different
denominators, identify a mixed fraction, add mixed fractions with same denominator, identify equivalent
fractions, compare fractions with same denominators
and compare fractions with different denominators.
Condition:
Taking notes in class from transparencies and examples on
boards, using computers and the
internet, making projects from pizza’s, drawing and cutting on construction
paper, doing this in groups of 2-4,
notes will be available at 1st and then taken away.
Degree:
Students will have two different quizzes, students should
get an 16 out of 20 questions correct
on each or will keep taking different forms of the quizzes until do so.
Objective
Statement(s):
·
The Standard
5 class will be able to identify regular fractions and describe what a fraction
is and what they consists of.
·
They
will also be able to identify a numerator and denominator on every fraction and
will use that information to add fractions with the same denominator and
different denominators.
·
They
will also be able to identify a mixed fraction and use them to add with same
denominator.
·
Finally
they will identify equivalent fractions, compare fractions with same
denominators and compare fractions with different denominators.
The students will use their notes,
computers, projects, construction paper, and group work to study the information needed to succeed. These students will be
able to prove that they have
learned this information by testing on two proficiency tests and getting 16 out
of the 20 questions correct.
SELECT
METHODS, MEDIA AND MATERIALS
List Media and Materials
to be used in the lesson:
·
Exam/Worksheet:
two 20 point proficiency quizzes, one quiz involves adding fractions, the other
quiz involves subtracting fractions, and both quizzes involve identifying all
kinds of fractions; a final chapter test involving all the information in the
lecture.
·
Transparency:
involves notes, lectures, examples and pictures for the class as a whole to
see.
·
Non
Projected Interactive Media (ex. Interactive bulletin board): The kids will
create a bulletin board involving items that they know about fractions before
the lesson and then they will create the other bulletin board in the classroom
of new items in which they learn about for fractions.
·
Power
Point Instructional Project: use the power point presentation as an
introduction to the lesson plan and as a review before the chapter exam.
·
Five
Instructional web pages:
·
Extras
(ex: guest speakers, video tape, computer, lcd panel, etc.): Projects using
construction paper by cutting out fractional portions, pizza project developing
how to add and subtract fractions, computer used to create fractional pictures
and using websites to practice problems.
UTILIZE
METHODS, MEDIA AND MATERIALS
I am going to begin my
lesson on fractions by showing my PowerPoint presentation so the students will
know what to look for in the lesson. That night I will assign the kids to go
home and create something that they can put on a bulletin board that they think
they have that will represent a fractions or something they already know about
fractions. Then I will begin the lesson by using transparencies to give basic
definitions, show pictures of certain fractions and give background information
on the lesson on fractions and the notes the kids will need in their notebooks.
I will allow the kids to explore on the computers to see what they can find out
about fractions. I will have each student work in groups of four and create a
college about fractions from information or pictures they find on the
computers. The next steps I will take is having each child use construction
paper and cut out certain fractions that I tell them and compare them to each
student (larger, smaller, how much, etc). The next step in my lesson will be to
bring in the Pirating Pizza project. I will bring in two pizzas for the class
to have for a party; only the pirating pizza eats half every night up to the
party. The students will use charts and graphs and add and subtract fractions
to find out how much pizza is left for their party. Two times through the
lesson, I will give two quizzes and the students will have to get 16 out of 20
or they will keep taking it on their recess time until they do. Finally at the
end of the lesson a chapter test will be given to see how much the students
know. Periodically throughout the lesson, students will be creating another
bulletin board showing what new items they are learning about fractions.
REQUIRE
LEARNER PARTICIPATION
Each student will also be
graded partially on his or her participation. I will get these children
involved through the projects and games that we will play. The computer
collogue will have to involve each member of the group. I will be walking
around the classroom observing all members of all groups. The construction
paper project will involve each individual person as they come up with their
designated fraction and will also involve group work, as they will compare with
other people. The pirating pizza project will also involve the students as each
member will create either charts or graphs involving the pizza or they will not
get any pizza for their party. The reward will be the pizza, which will
encourage many fifth graders to participate. There will also be participation
while the lecture on transparencies is given as random students will be called
on to answer questions or do examples on the board (if needed, with
assistance).
EVALUATE
& REVISE
- Evaluate student performance: quizzes,
chapter tests, projects (quantity, quality, and presentation),
participation, verbal quizzes, real life scenarios/projects.
- Evaluate media components: other teacher
evaluations from the looks of projects, student evaluations (hard vs.
easy, interesting or not, good idea or not), and suggestions from students,
parents, or cooperating teachers.
- Evaluate instructor performance: peer
evaluation, student evaluation, cooperating teacher evaluation, and video
myself in certain lessons and watch to see how well it works.
