The lesson that I would use from this source uses the game of basketball to get kids to keep score of how many shots they made and missed, and then use these numbers to decide what fraction of the shots out of 10 they made and what fraction they missed.

(3) Number and operations. The student applies mathematical process standards to represent and explain fractional units. The student is expected to:

(A) represent fractions greater than zero and less than or equal to one with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 using concrete objects and pictorial models, including strip diagrams and number lines;

(B) determine the corresponding fraction greater than zero and less than or equal to one with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 given a specified point on a number line;

(C) explain that the unit fraction 1/b represents the quantity formed by one part of a whole that has been partitioned into b equal parts where b is a non-zero whole number;

(D) compose and decompose a fraction a/b with a numerator greater than zero and less than or equal to b as a sum of parts 1/b;

(E) solve problems involving partitioning an object or a set of objects among two or more recipients using pictorial representations of fractions with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8;

(F) represent equivalent fractions with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 using a variety of objects and pictorial models, including number lines;

(G) explain that two fractions are equivalent if and only if they are both represented by the same point on the number line or represent the same portion of a same size whole for an area model; and

(H) compare two fractions having the same numerator or denominator in problems by reasoning about their sizes and justifying the conclusion using symbols, words, objects, and pictorial models.

Fraction Lesson 2

This lesson is about helping student understand the concept of parts of a whole. The lesson also helps students grasp the concept of the numerator and denominator.

Fraction Lesson 2 Activity

samarkutty — 2017-10-26 21:05:23 UTC

Students will be given a paper plate and a few packs of candy. The students will use markers to draw a line down the middle of the plate. They will label the top half of the plate the numerator and the bottom the denominator. Students will be given a fraction to represent and put candy in each respective zone equal to the numerator and denominator of the fraction they are representing.

Worksheet Generator

This generator can be used to generate not only math worksheets but reading and just for fun worksheets. I can use the website to make practice problems regarding fractions.

The lesson plans are relevant tech resources to fractions because they provide sites that provide lesson plans to teachers for free. The sites also have lesson plans for other grades and math topics.

The TEK's are relevant to the video aid because I would use the aid shown in this video during my lessons on fractions. The video explains how one would use a tool like this in the classroom.

The book, Fraction Fun is relevant to the unit because not only do I own a signed copy of the book (as far as I remember), I can use the book to present the idea of parts of a fraction to students, and fractional representation. I can introduce the concept of fractions to students with this fun little book that is also an easy read.

This website has lots of math games that helps students practice math skills in areas they are lacking or struggling. I would use this for any fraction games that would help give remediation to children who are struggling to grasp fraction concepts.

Fourth Grade TEKS

(3) Number and operations. The student applies mathematical process standards to represent and generate fractions to solve problems. The student is expected to:

(A) represent a fraction a/b as a sum of fractions 1/b, where a and b are whole numbers and b > 0, including when a > b;

(B) decompose a fraction in more than one way into a sum of fractions with the same denominator using concrete and pictorial models and recording results with symbolic representations;

(D) compare two fractions with different numerators and different denominators and represent the comparison using the symbols >, =, or <;

(E) represent and solve addition and subtraction of fractions with equal denominators using objects and pictorial models that build to the number line and properties of operations;

(F) evaluate the reasonableness of sums and differences of fractions using benchmark fractions 0, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and 1, referring to the same whole; and

(G) represent fractions and decimals to the tenths or hundredths as distances from zero on a number line.

Fifth Grade TEK'S

(3) Number and operations. The student applies mathematical process standards to develop and use strategies and methods for positive rational number computations in order to solve problems with efficiency and accuracy. The student is expected to:

(A) estimate to determine solutions to mathematical and real-world problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division;

(B) multiply with fluency a three-digit number by a two-digit number using the standard algorithm;

(C) solve with proficiency for quotients of up to a four-digit dividend by a two-digit divisor using strategies and the standard algorithm;

(D) represent multiplication of decimals with products to the hundredths using objects and pictorial models, including area models;

(E) solve for products of decimals to the hundredths, including situations involving money, using strategies based on place-value understandings, properties of operations, and the relationship to the multiplication of whole numbers;

(F) represent quotients of decimals to the hundredths, up to four-digit dividends and two-digit whole number divisors, using objects and pictorial models, including area models;

(G) solve for quotients of decimals to the hundredths, up to four-digit dividends and two-digit whole number divisors, using strategies and algorithms, including the standard algorithm;

(H) represent and solve addition and subtraction of fractions with unequal denominators referring to the same whole using objects and pictorial models and properties of operations;

(I) represent and solve multiplication of a whole number and a fraction that refers to the same whole using objects and pictorial models, including area models;

(J) represent division of a unit fraction by a whole number and the division of a whole number by a unit fraction such as 1/3 ÷ 7 and 7 ÷ 1/3 using objects and pictorial models, including area models;

(K) add and subtract positive rational numbers fluently; and

(L) divide whole numbers by unit fractions and unit fractions by whole numbers.
