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.

  1. Can you create also Assure model and the topic is THE ROLE OF THE TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION
