Time Instructional Procedures and Strategies
This lesson was done twice with two groups of students (the class was separated
into 2)
Beginning the Lesson
5mins We are going to practice our fractions.
Go over two or three examples together.
With plastics cup and manipulatives.
Question:
3/4 of 12 = 9
3/5 of 15 = 9

5mins Step 1.
How many equal groups (Denominator) ?
Step 2.
Make equal groups.
Step 3.
How many of the equal groups do we want (Numerator)?
Step 4.
Count the number of items you have.

When we solve the problem together, ask

How did you know?

Separate the students in pairs.
4groups x 3 cards
Give them manipulatives.
And have them to pick out fraction card from the bag. Each group
will get 3 cards.

The teacher will check every time they finish their card.

Example questions:
1/2 of 12 = 6
1/3 of 12 = 4
1/5 of 15=3
2/5 of 15 = 6
1/3 of 18 = 6
3/4 of 24 = 18
3/5 of 25 = 15
2/6 of 18 = 9
2/4 of 12 = 6
5mins
Closing the Lesson
Solve one problem altogether by following the steps.
