Lesson Plan of Match the fractions with related figures

Subject Mathematics

Grade III

Students` Learning Outcomes

  • Match the fractions with related figures.

Information for Teachers

  • One third should be introduced when student have grasped the concept of one half and one fourth because it is somehow difficult to fold or divide a whole into three equal parts.

Match the fractions with related figures

  • To give concept of fraction teacher should use a whole to divide equally.

Match the fractions with related figures

  • She/he may take some objects to ask students to divide it in half, fourth of it or third of it.
  • While teaching the lesson, also consult textbook where and when applicable.

Material / Resources

Writing board, chalk/marker, duster, piece of papers/strips/cards, 4 cut outs of coloured quarter circle, fraction dice, candies, glue and coloured chalk

Introduction

  • Write 1/3 on board. Ask students what does number 1 and 3 show?
  • What do these numbers stand for?
  • Draw a rectangle on the board, draw lines to show three equal parts.

Match the fractions with related figures

  • Colour two parts and ask students to write its fraction.
  • Repeat the procedure with other shapes.

Development

Activity 1

  • Give each student a sheet of paper and 4 pieces of quarter circle.

Match the fractions with related figures

  • Ask students to draw a big circle on the sheet.
  • Write ¼ on the board and ask students to show this fraction by pasting the cut out on the circle.
  • Now write 2/4 and ask them to paste the cutout on circle and increase it till the circle is completed.

Activity 2

  • Divide class into groups.
  • Give two sets of cards, one containing fractions written in words, like; half, one fourth, three fourth, one third and two third etc.

Match the fractions with related figures

  • Whereas second set of cards containing different fractions written in digits, like;

Match the fractions with related figures

  • Ask students to match the cards and draw some shapes and color its parts to show the fractions.
  • After arranging their cards invite other groups to see the work they have just produced.
  • Arrange this activity as game, the group which will complete work first will win the game.

Sum up / Conclusion

  • Discuss the word one third with students.
  • Ask how to write one third in numbers?
  • What is meaning of number below the bar and above the bar?
  • What we call the number above and below the bar?
  • Define one third for the students and emphasize on dividing a whole into three equal parts, e.g. three parts of class and number of students in each part.

Assessment

  • Give some diagram of shapes to student and ask them to draw lines to show parts and colour it.

Match the fractions with related figures

  • Draw some shapes on the board divided into two, three and four equal or unequal part.
  • Ask students to draw these shapes on their notebook and answer it, “Are all of these fractions?’ if yes; tell the fraction.

Follow up

  • Assign fractions 1/3, 2/3, ¾, ½ to students and ask them to choose any shape to demonstrate given fractions.
  • Ask students to divide a circle and a rectangle into as many equal parts as possible and write the fractions of each part.

  • Ask the students to solve the questions given in the textbook.
