Objective | How do you compare fractions & find equivalent fractions? | How can you tell how fractions with like numerators or denominators compare? | How do you tell how fractions with unlike numerators & denominators compare? | How do you put fractions in order from least to greatest & vice-versa? | How do you find equivalent fractions? |
Procedures | ODYSSEY LAB: * Introduce Odyssey lessons on comparing fractions & finding equivalent fractions * Explain that quizzes from lessons will be daily grade. They may re-do lesson if unhappy with quiz grade & all grades will be averaged. * Students complete lessons and quizzes: 56288 (compairing) & MA5417 (equivalent) | *Warm-up: Fan. Five #25 * Review comparing fractions with like numerators & like denominators * Students Mill to music to compare self-made fractions with like denominators. * Students Mill to music to compare self-made fractions with like numerators. * Students complete comparing fractions worksheet. | * Fan. Five #25 * Model Cross Multiplying using “Comparing Fractions” flipchart * Do motions & song to cross multiplying * Play Fighting Fractions to compare fractions * Challenge: Take 3 fractions & order from least to greatest * Discussion: What characteristics do the larger fractions have? | *Fan. Five #26 * Go over h.w. * Do song & motions to review comparing fractions * Model ordering fractions L to G: Cross x 2 at a time, keeping the L to compare to next fraction * Practice example problems together. * Put students in groups of 3. Make up fraction & stand in order. Others check. | *Fan. Five #27 * Go over h.w. * Discuss reasons for finding equiv. fractions * Take notes on method 1 & practice (flipchart) * Take notes on method 2 & practice (flipchart) * Complete color by equivalent fraction activity.
