Purpose: to provide periodic student practice activities and teacher directed review of this skill after students have mastered it.
1. Problem of the Day
Materials:
Concrete objects that depict fractional parts displayed near an area that has two columns with words equivalent, not equivalent
Description:
The teacher will present a problem of the day verbally and by displaying the items in a designated area. Students will decide if the objects show equivalent or non-equivalent fractions and will record their responses by putting their initials under the appropriate column. Teacher will review the problem after all students have responded. This should initially be done each day, then 2 times/week, weekly, bi weekly, and then intermittently.
2. Classroom Routines
Materials:
Class roster
Description:
Students will be told to line up for lunch and show equivalent fractions (e.g. one half and three sixths).
