Class Experience

US Grade 4 - 7
Beginner - Intermediate Level
All of the necessary groundwork for working with fractions is covered during this six-week period.  These skills are practiced by playing a game.  The more fun a student has while learning a skill reflects how strongly the concept is understood and how well it is remembered.  It is crucial to fully grasp these ideas, so it is easier to perform more complicated computation later.

over 6 Weeks
Lesson 1:
A Separate Piece
 Students will see the equivalence of parts of a whole (like ½), identify proper fractions, improper fractions, and mixed numbers, and find the largest and smallest fractions.

Lesson 2:
Field of Denominators
 In this lesson students learn to make fractions equal to the one shown.  First they see a step-by-step demonstration explaining how to make equivalent fractions.    This will show how to make 6 equivalent fractions from the same one.  Students will then create 6 fractions from a different given fraction and check their work with the class presentation.

Lesson 3:
Tic Tac Fraction - x and /
 This class starts with students learning that to multiply two fractions they simply need to multiply across.  Next they learn what a reciprocal is and they practice finding the reciprocal of a fraction.  Next students learn how to divide two fractions by multiplying by the reciprocal of that fraction.  Next students practice dividing two fractions.  Once these skills have been learned and practiced the students will play tic-tac-toe to continue practicing.

Lesson 4:
Common Ground
 Learners will practice finding the least common denominator for two fractions.  First they will watch the process on a PowerPoint presentation then solve for the lcm step by step.  Next they will play a game which requires finding the least common denominator for a pair of fractions.
