WEEK OF: 3/23 & 3/30

SCHOOL: Georgetown Primary School


SUBJECT: Mathematics
PACING GUIDE WEEK: 26 & 27

THINGS TO CONSIDER FOR COLLABORATION


STANDARDS OF LEARNING

K.5 The student will identify the parts of a set and/or region that represent fractions for halves and fourths.
BIG IDEA(S)

The focus of instruction is:

Learning to recognize equal parts of a whole.


Developing a spatial awareness for half of an object.
Being able to represent one-half pictorially.
Being able to represent one-fourth pictorially.
Developing a spatial awareness for a fourth of an object.

ESSENTIAL UNDERSTANDING(S)
Understand that fractional parts are equal shares of a whole region or a whole set.

Understand that the fraction name (half) tells the number of equal parts in the whole.

Understand that the fraction name (half) of the set model is a subset of the whole set with equal numbers.
ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE & SKILL(S)
Recognize fractions as parts of equal size of a whole.
Given a region/shape, identify half of the region/shape.
Given a set, identify half of the set.

Give a region/shape, identify a fourth of the region/shape.


Given a set, identify a fourth of the set.
ESSENTIAL ACADEMIC VOCABULARY

Fraction, equal parts, half (one-half), one-fourth, whole

HOW WILL YOU DIFFERENTIATE INSTRUCTION?

Students will use manipulatives in order to receive hands-on practice in their developing understanding of fractions. Videos will also be utilized in
order to visually demonstrate the information. After whole group instruction and guided practice, the students will rotate through 3 centers- one
manipulation based, one technology based with the content tailored to meet each childs individual needs, and one independent practice station.
Each of these stations will be adjusted to the ability levels of each rotating group.

Call students to the carpet facing the Smartboard. Choose four volunteers, and tell them that you need their help to solve

a problem. Present six (paper) cookies and ask, How can we share these cookies so that everyone gets a fair and equal
amount? Ask students to brainstorm- how can they do it so that each person gets an equal amount? Try out student
responses until the class realizes that the two remaining cookies need to be cut in half, or equal parts, for each person to
have an equal share. Explain what it means to cut something into halves, and tell students that today we are going to
explore what it means to have equal parts of an object, and how to determine if something has equal, or fair pieces.
Using the Smartboard, illustrate for children what it means to have equal parts by drawing different objects and explaining

If time remains, review some of the problems from the assessment, and any that students seemed to have problems with
