A. Introduction-

Ask students who likes pizza? How fair would it be if me or pick someone got to eat half a pie and you all have to split the other half?

1.Write down 1/2, ask someone to say the fraction. Point to the top number ask: what do we call this part of the fraction?
Point to the bottom number and ask what do we call this part of the fraction. Mention I always think of "down" to remember denominator.
2. Review symbols <, >, =
3. Model the problem 1/2>1/4
 

C. Practice-

1.Write another problem down
2.Call on students to complete problem as a whole group
3. Ask if students have any questions or need more examples.
 

D. Independent Practice-

Distribute handouts for students to work alone or individually
 

E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-

1. Check in with groups of students.
2. Walk around to ensure work is being done.
3.Explain/ask questions to those struggling.
 

F. Checking for understanding-

1.Walk around and check in to see what students are doing
2. Ask random students to explain what they're doing
 

G. Closure-

Pick two students to show and explain their work to the class.
