Lesson Two - The children will apply their knowledge of fractions
from lesson one to design and divide a pizza using technology.
Key Words: numerator, denominator,halves,thirds, quarters,fifths,sixths,
sevenths and eighths. |
|
|
3. Goals: Aims/Outcomes-
|
1.Using technology,have the children identify properly how they
have divided their pizza both orally and written using fractions.
2.Have the children compare fractions using the pizza. |
|
|
4. Objectives-
|
1.Comparing fractions of the same whole like denominator.
2.Explaining the a fraction is part of a whole.
3.Describing situations where fractions are used. |
|
|
5. Materials and Aids-
|
Microsoft Windows -shapes
Smart Board |
|
|
6. Procedures/Methods-
|
A. Introduction-
1.Ask how many students like to eat pizza and what would be their
favorite toppings.
2.Using theSmart Board you can show some different images of pizza.
3.Using a red circle to represent a pizza, place on some blocks and
ask them what these could be on a real pizza.(10 minutes) |
|
|
B. Development-
1.Using the Smart Board you can review the different fractions that
the children will be using. Using the program downloaded from Smart
Board resources,you can show the slide show about fractions and practice
as a whole class the fractions presented.
(15 minutes) |
|
|
C. Practice-
1.In the Commuter Lab,have the students practice fractions on their
own using the program NLVM(National Library Video Manipulatives )
2.Present the Microsoft Windows program using shapes and ask the to
find different shapes that could be used on their pizza.
(10 minutes) |
|
|
D. Independent Practice-
1.Ask them to begin their pizza by drawing a large circle and adding
shapes for their toppings.
2.Once their pizza is finished ask them using the lines under shapes
to divide the pizza equally into quarters.
3. Ask them draw another pizza the same size(using control D ) but
this time make it look like 3/4 of the pizza has been eaten. |
|
|
G. Closure-
What were their observations? What represents more pizza 4/4 or
1/4? How would they write the part of the pizza that was eaten in
a form of a fraction? |
