FRACTIONS

Grade Level – 3
Group Size – Cooperative Groups
Subject – Math
Standard - In Grade 3, instructional time should focus on four critical
areas: (1) developing understanding of multiplication and division and
strategies for multiplication and division within 100; (2) developing
understanding of fractions, especially unit fractions (fractions with
numerator 1); (3) developing understanding of the structure of
rectangular arrays and of area; and (4) describing and analyzing two-
dimensional shapes.

Objective – The students will use problem solving skills and knowledge
of fractions to help them solve riddles about fractions.

Materials – None

Procedure – Write some riddles about fractions for the students to


solve. For example – The sum of the digits in my numerator and
denominator is 30. I am equivalent to ¼. The same question can be used
over and over again with different numbers. Also, make up similar
riddles that involve fractions in a similar way. For example – Which
fraction is greatest? 1/3, ¼, 1/5. Write these riddles, one at a time on the
board. Students will work in cooperating groups to figure out the
answers and each group will take turns writing the answers to the
questions on the board for the class. Give the groups 2 minutes to figure
out the answer and the groups who write the correct answers on the
board during their time gets a point. Make it a game, make it fun!

Assessment – As a whole group, the class will discuss the answers


together and any questions or confusion on the subject needs to be
addressed now. A worksheet will be sent home with the students as
homework that addresses what they learned in class. I use formative
assessment. I want feedback to my students to be immediate so they can
understand their mistakes and make changes right away.
