Lesson Title: Fractions! Fractions! Fractions!

Grade/Group Size/Length of Lesson	Grade 3/ about 20 students/ 30 minutes
Lesson Objective	The students will … use  prior knowledge to identify the different parts of the fraction. They will be able to identify fractions, and the basic vocabulary with it.
National Technology Standards	For Teacher: 2. Design and Develop Digital Age Learning Experiences and Assessments Teachers design, develop, and evaluate authentic learning experiences and assessment incorporating contemporary tools and resources to maximize content learning in context and to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes identified in the NETS·S. a. Design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity b. Develop technology-enriched learning environments that enable all students to pursue their individual curiosities and become active participants in setting their own educational goals, managing their own learning, and assessing their own progress For Student: 4. Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, and Decision Making Students use critical thinking skills to plan and conduct research, manage projects, solve problems, and make informed decisions using appropriate digital tools and resources. a. Identify and define authentic problems and significant questions for investigation b. Plan and manage activities to develop a solution or complete a project c. Collect and analyze data to identify solutions and/or make informed decisions
Resources/Preparation/Materials	Computers Projector Paper and pencils Video on fractions Food to demonstrate fractions
Learning Environment	A class room that has some type of board to write on
Vocabulary	Students will just have to know the basic terms of math and may lean a couple new ones. Fraction: A proportion of something Numerator: The top number in a fraction, number of parts Denominator: The bottom number in a fraction, number of parts it is divided into.
Technology	A computer so I can find new problems to use to teach them the math An projector so if I find a video about something related to math I could show them it as a class
Procedure	Background Knowledge – Students should already know how to multiply, divide, add and subtract. Opening – HOOK:  Bring in pizzas/pies/ or anything that will be interesting for the students to see a relationship with fractions in real life. Body – Tell the class that today you will be learning about fractions. Use the pizza/pies as examples Explain what a fraction is. Draw some picture examples on the board. A circle split into 5 sections, with one shaded. Explain that this is 1/5, and 5 pieces makes a whole. Show a simple video about the relationship of numbers and fractions. After the video have students draw examples of fractions on the board. Explain what a numerator and denominator are. Explain to them the reasoning behind it. Come up with something fun to remember the vocabulary. “The denominator is….” Assign a class activity worksheet dealing with fractions. Have them identify fractions from pictures, shade in a fraction amount, and draw their own fractions Help students if needed. Closure – Assign homework problems due the next class period.
Evaluation of lesson Plan	I chose this because I love math and I think everyone should know how to do math. I am really happy with this. I think it would be fun so see the students enjoy math while I teach it.
