Who are the learners? 3 rd grade 16 students 8boys/8 girls What are their skill levels? Basic math skills -adding, subtracting, shape recognition, Basic concept of time What are their learning styles? Auditory, Visual, and Kinesthetic learners
State Objectives What do you want the learner to gain knowledge of? The students will learn what a fraction is by breaking apart a whole into equal parts. What are the specific learner outcomes? The students will be able to identify the numerator and the denominator and what they symbolize.
Select Methods, Media, and Materials What methods of information will you use? Power point on Fractions, Fraction worksheet Which media are appropriate? Tutorial PowerPoint -interactive http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/mathgames/fractions/fracTut1.htm Media is appropriate for grade level and co- insides with state standards Which materials will you need? Laptop computer, projector, wireless mouse
Utilize Methods, Media, and Materials How will you use the methods and media? First, I will present the power point on Fractions. The power point has an interactive pizza activity that is provided after the power point is completed. This activity will have the students recognize the denominator and then the numerator by following the directions given.
Next, I will give the students a fraction worksheet called Sort Fraction. This worksheet will require them to identify the fractions and place them in the right category. file:///C:/Users/C.Blevins/Downloads/FractionFunFreebi e.pdf
Last, I will conduct a concept check of 5 problems. I will state a fraction and they will have to write the fraction and draw a picture of the fraction. How will you use the materials? I will use the laptop and projector to present the power point to the students .The students will be allowed to use a wireless mouse to participate in the interactive pizza activity.
What is your instructional strategy?
The power point will provide visual learning, the worksheet and pizza activity will support Kinesthetic learning, and the Concept check will provide auditory learning as well.
Require Learner Participation What will the learners be required to do? The students will be required to identify the numerator and denominator in the pizza activity. The student will be required to recognize and sort fractions on the worksheet.
How will the learners engage in participatory learning? The students will engage themselves in the process of learning Fractions and will be able to master the concept check given.
Evaluate and Revise Did the lesson meet the objectives? Yes, 13 students mastered the objective, but 3 students did not meet the mastery level. These students will be pulled into a small group for overview of the lesson objective. How will you evaluate content and technologies used? I will assess the students worksheets, concept check, and response to the power point pizza activity. How will you revise and improve? I will incorporate table activities with card fractions. The students will have to present 2 different ways to show the fraction.
