- Fraction Fun
- Introduce fractions and mixed numbers using paper plates
- Fractional Parts with Pattern Blocks
- Through this lesson students will undersand that fractions are part of a whole. Students will identify halves, thirds, fourths, fifths, sixths, eights of a whole. They will use terms numerator, denominator and write fractions from models of fractions. Also, they will use sheets of paper to fold for different size fractions and label each part to see proportion size from least to greatest or greatest to least.
- Fractions on Kid Pix
- Students will create illustrations of fractions as parts of a whole and parts of a set using Kid Pix computer program.
- PIZZA = "Fractions: Any Way You Slice It!"
- During this lesson, students will explore and investigate the relationships among fractions. Students will use paper pizzas divided into fractional parts to compare equivalent fractions. They will see part-whole fractions as fair shares and begin to understand that the parts must be equal.
- "Talking Geometry" Through Quilts
- This lesson plan is designed to use quilts as a visual prompt to review mathematics vocabulary associated with geometry in the third grade curriculum. A hands-on activity serves as a practice and review at the conclusion of this lesson.
- Another look at the set model using attribute pieces
- In this lesson, one of a multi-part unit from Illuminations, students work with sets in which the objects look different based on the idea that objects in the set are not the same size and shape. Students also use fractions to describe a set of attribute pieces.
- A brownie bake
- This lesson, one of a multi-part unit from Illuminations, focuses on student organization, preparation, and presentation of some simple foods as a way to apply various mathematical concepts, with problem-solving techniques being a central theme.
- Class attributes
- In this lesson, one of a multi-part unit from Illuminations, students create their own classroom survey or use the reproducible classroom Survey handout to study the class and describe the set (class) in fractional parts.
- Communicating about mathematics using games
- This e-example from Illuminations contains an interactive version of a game that can be used in the grades 3-5 classroom to support students' learning about fractions.
- Describing Designs
- Students create designs and describe them to classmates using fractional and geometric terms.
- Eggsactly Equivalent
- Students use twelve eggs to identify equivalent fractions.
- Eggsactly with a dozen eggs
- In this lesson, one of a multi-part unit from Illuminations, students are given the opportunity to examine fractions as part of a set.
- Eggsactly with eighteen eggs
- In this lesson, one of a multi-part unit from Illuminations, students continue to examine fractions as part of a set.
- Expanding our pattern block fraction repertoire
- In this lesson, one of a multi-part unit from Illuminations, students expand the number of fractions they can represent with pattern blocks by increasing the whole.
- Exploring the value of the whole
- In this lesson, one of a multi-part unit from Illuminations, students consider the size or value of the same fraction when different “wholes” are compared. This lesson promotes problem-solving and reasoning as the students compare similar fractions.
- The factor game
- In this Illuminations lesson, students play the Factor Game, which engages students in a friendly contest where strategies involve distinguishing between numbers with many factors and numbers with few factors.
- Fun with fractions set model: Looking back and moving forward
- This lesson, one of a multi-part unit from Illuminations, gives students another opportunity to explore fractions using the set model.
- Inch by inch
- In this lesson, students use an actual ruler to represent various fractions as lengths.
- Investigating equivalent fractions with relationship rods
- In this lesson, one of a multi-part unit from Illuminations, students investigate the length model by working with relationship rods to find equivalent fractions.
- Investigating fraction relationships with relationship rods
- In this lesson, one of a multi-part unit from Illuminations, students use relationship rods, which are wooden or plastic rods in ten different colors, to explore fraction relationships.
