Adopt 21st century teaching approaches to enhance students appreciation of mathematics & to help students to develop the skills needed for success in this century

Long-term goal

The aim is to provide students with review of simple fraction and to introduce fraction in detail with following objectives.

Analyzing Students will be able to understand

fraction,denominator,numerator and like fraction. Evaluating Teacher will asset the students by giving them worksheet and

quiz. Creating Students will be able generate fractions in daily life.

Short term goals

I will provide more opportunities for students to answer questions that require higher-order thinking

I will provide students with time for group discussion

I will ask question that require students to explain how they came to an answer

I will ask students to gather in randomly assigned groups or pairs to discuss how to best solve mathematical problems

Instructional strategies & tasks

Timeline1st week Fraction will be introduced with

emphasis on denominator & numerator.

2nd week Difference between half &quarter, Identification of fractions.

3rd week Like fraction, addition & subtraction of like fraction.

4th week Problem questions related to fraction.

A FRACTION is a number that represents a part of a whole. Fractions are useful whenever you need to split things up.

1 Whole Cake

Each piece is the fraction of 1 whole cake.

Denominator is the bottom number which tells us into how many equal parts our shape has been divided.

Numerator is the top number which tells us how many of those equal parts we are interested in.

Denominator & Numerator are two very important words we use when working with fractions.

Half and Quarter When a shape is

divided into two equal parts, each part is called a half, or ½.

When a shape is divided into four equal parts, each part is called a quarter, or ¼.

Example:

3/4 Denominator = 4Numerator = 3

6/7Numerator = 6

Denominator = 7

Fractions with the same denominator are called like fractions.

For example:

Like Fractions :

5/8 and 3/8 4/7 and 1/7

For example:

5/8 3/8

1/6 3/6

In like fractions, the greater the numerator the greater the fractional number

>

<

When we add like fractions, add only the numerators. The denominators stay the same!

1/4 + 2/4 = 3/4

Adding like fractions:

When we subtract like fractions, subtract only the numerators. The denominators stay the same!

5/6 - 2/6 = 3/6

Subtracting like fractions:
