Lesson Plan of Common Fractions

Lesson Plan of Common Fractions

Subject Mathematics

Grade III

Students` Learning Outcomes

  • Express the fractions in figures and vice versa.(Repeated)

Information for Teachers

  • In this lesson we will practice fractions with 4 as denominator.
  • Fraction means dividing equally so during activity ensure that things are divided equally into four parts by students.

• Express the fractions in figures and vice versa

  • While teaching the lesson, also consult textbook where and when applicable.

Material / Resources

Writing board, chalk/marker, duster, apple, playing dough/clay, piece of papers (to make different shapes), cutter, chart paper

Introduction

  • Ask a student too cut an apple (or anything) in four equal parts.

• Express the fractions in figures and vice versa

  • Ask him/her to give two more pieces to another friend and write its fraction; 2/4.
  • Ask him/her, how much he/she has now? ¼
  • Now ask him to write the fraction of all the distributed pieces; ¾.

Development

Activity 1

  • Divide the class into groups of four.
  • Ask each group to draw different shapes (e.g. circles, parallelograms, rectangles and triangle) on a chart paper.

• Express the fractions in figures and vice versa

  • Tell them to divide each of the shapes into four equal parts.
  • Ask them to colour each shape to show the following fraction,

• Express the fractions in figures and vice versa

  • Ask any two volunteers groups to present their work.
  • Encourage them to explain procedure by using appropriate vocabulary.

Activity 2

  • Ask students to colour the diagrams according to instructions given below each diagram and write their fractions.

• Express the fractions in figures and vice versa

  • Draw different shapes and colour them for the following fractions.

• Express the fractions in figures and vice versa

  • Ask students to discuss completed work sheet in pairs to explain the procedure to each other.

Sum up / Conclusion

  • Ask following questions to conclude the lesson.
      • How can we write one fourth in fraction?
      • How is one fourth different from one half?
      • What does the number below the bar and above the bar, represent?
      • How many parts of a square do we need, and colour to show 1/3 and ¾.

Assessment

  • Give some diagrams of shapes to students and ask them to write the value of fractions in the boxes.

• Express the fractions in figures and vice versa

Follow up

  • Give some diagrams of different shapes which are divided into four, equal and unequal parts.

• Express the fractions in figures and vice versa

  • Ask them to circle all those shapes which are divided into four equal parts.
  • Ask students to colour them to show the given fraction.

• Express the fractions in figures and vice versa

  • Ask students, “Are shapes with unequal parts can be written as fractions? If no; then explain why?
  • Think of the ways we can divide a pack of biscuits with 20 biscuits, into fractions like, etc.

• Express the fractions in figures and vice versa
