Title: Equivalent Fractions

Grades: 6
Subject/Course: Fractions/ Math
Date: December 4, 2017
Time: 9:00am-9:40am

Lesson Description
This lesson on equivalent fractions will start with asking them what they know about
fractions. Key topics:
1. What is a numerator?- the top number
2. What is a denominator?- the bottom number
3. What is an equivalent fraction?- a fraction that is either simplified or expanded
4. What are two ways of finding equivalent fractions? - multiplying or subtracting by
the same value
Then I will go onto explaining what an equivalent fraction is and in what ways we can
achieve to get equivalent fractions. Then, using examples, I would look at ways to
expand or reduce to get equivalent fractions. Then, students would work in groups of 3 to
differentiate which of the 3 fractions( that I have given them) are equivalent and which
are not. After the discussion, the students will complete a worksheet. Once they are
done, we would take up a few questions from the textbook from page 288-289 (#
1,2,3,6,11).

Purpose (e.g., diagnostic, formative, summative):

DIagnostic- To see how much they know
Formative - To see how well they understand the lesson

Tool(s) (e.g., checklist, marking scheme, rubric, observation, interviews):

The tools that will be used are:
1. Observation

Resources (e.g., equipment, PowerPoint sides, manipulatives, hand-outs, games,

assessment tool):
● Collaborative games and textbook

Accommodations and differentiation strategy

No accommodations necessary
Considerations (e.g., contingency plans re: technology failure or student absences and
groupings, or guest speaker cancellations):
If absent- student can see me during lunch period to go over what was missed or will
have to go over the work on their own

Time: 40 mins

Lesson Description
Students learn about the importance of biodiversity through a slideshow. This ppt would explore case
studies on biodiversity, look at what biodiversity is as well as who affects biodiversity.
It will also look at how we as humans can help reserve or help the endangered species as well as
biodiversity as a whole.
It is important to note the cause, effect and solutions.

Purpose (e.g., diagnostic, formative, summative):

Formative- To see how well they understand the unit

Tool(s) (e.g., checklist, marking scheme, rubric, observation, interviews):

The tools that will be used are:
● Observation - through their commentary, questions and the number of participation

Resources (e.g., equipment, PowerPoint sides, manipulatives, hand-outs, games, assessment tool):
● Powerpoint slides

Accommodations and differentiation strategy

Students with IEP’s or any learning disabilities would be given extra help.

Considerations (e.g., contingency plans re: technology failure or student absences and groupings, or guest
speaker cancellations):
If absent- student can see me during nutrition break to go over what was missed.
