Title of Lesson: Comparing Fractions

Instructor(s): Amanda Wegner

Time Allocated: 45 Minutes

Grade Level / Subject Area: 5th Grade Math

Learning Objectives / Goals:

A.Students will compare fractions. B.Students will use correct mathematical symbols.

iPad Application(s) Used: Virtual Manipulatives Oh No Fractions

Learning Activities (Indicate where / when iPad is used):

A. Review greater than, less than, and equal signs. Assess prior knowledge of comparing fractions by doing board work and have students answer using hand signals. B. With Virtual Manipulatives app projected on the whiteboard, show students how to compare unit fractions using manipulatives, using correct symbols. Using the manipulatives, clear up misconceptions from the board work. Have volunteers compare fractions on the iPad. C. Students work with a partner and an iPad and compare fractions using the Virtual Manipulatives app. Raise iPad to show answer. D. Students work with a partner to compare fractions using the Oh No Fractions app.

Evaluation: Informal assessment will take place throughout the class. I will observe the hand signals from the board work. After I have explained how to use the manipulatives and compare fractions, I will ask how many bars are on their cell phone signals (a way that I frequently ask them to self-assess). While students are working with their partners, I will walk around the room and observe them, speak with them, and help them out. A formal assessment would be given separately on a later day.
