Analyze Learners
This lesson is prepared for students in a grade 5 class. This class has a population of 22 students.
There are 14 boys and 8 girls in the class. Most of the students like Matheatics sessions but
there are a fe! students" ainly boys !ho do not en#oy the Matheatics sessions. $e%enty t!o
percent of the class aintains an a%erage abo%e 55&. Learning styles in this class %ary fro
hands on to %isual and as !ell as odeling. $tudents ha%e %arying learning abilities hence the
lesson the ust cater for these differences.
'ntry copetencies
$tudents already kno! the conceptual understanding of fractions as !ell as the process of
deri%ing e(ui%alent fractions. $tudents are able to add and subtract fractions.
Learning Styles: $oe of the students !ill understand instructions by hearing but there are
others that understand the instructions after seeing an e)aple etc. The students lo%e to dra! and
shade and so !ill ha%e fun dra!ing the bo)es !ith the fractions !hile they !ill be learning at the
sae tie

Selected Media, Materials and Methods
Fraction Cards* $tudents !ill randoly select fraction cards !hich !ill be pro%ided by
the teacher. The students !ill be engaged in ans!ering and asking (uestions using said
cards.
Bag/box* $tudents !ill randoly select gae cards fro the bag or bo). The gae cards
!ill ha%e on it" the nae of the fractions to be used in playing the gae
Whiteboard markers* This !ill be used to !rite on the !hiteboard
Whiteboard: +sed to !rite points fro the lesson
Computer: ,o to the i)l atheatics soft!are and practise ultiplication of fractions by
fractions on their o!n. They !ill !atch a -ouTube presentation on ho! to use the area
odel to ultiply fractions.
Fractional ieces: $tudents !ill use the fractional pieces as a guide to dra! the
appropriate fractional parts.
!tili"e Media and Material
re#ie$ the Materials
The teacher !ill test the coputer to ensure it is !orking and that the inforation sa%ed to the
coputer syste is there. .e !ill check to ensure that he has enough cards to use for the
acti%ities. .e !ill ensure that there is /nternet access for the students to access the soft!are and
!atch you tube presentation.

/n Andrea@s garden" <08 of the garden is planted !ith flo!ers. 20< of the flo!er section is red
roses. :hat fraction of the entire garden is planted !ith red roses2
$tudent !ill be guided by teacher in using area odel to sol%e the proble. This !ill be done on
the !hiteboard. The colors outlined in lesson plan !ill be used.

+e,uire Learner articipation
$tudents !ill be placed in groups of fi%es to shade a rectangle partitioned %ertically to represent
<08 4sho!n in blue7. And each group !ill be gi%en another rectangle partitioned horizontally to
represent 20< 4sho!n in yello!7. $tudents !ill be guided into bringing out the double shaded area
4in green7 to be A024 or B.
-.B. *eacher $ill ask students appropriate ,uestions to help them to recogni"e that the
area that is double/shaded represents the product.

$tudents !ill be asked to !ork independently to record the pre%ious acti%ities in their note book"
using the fractional pieces as a guide to dra! the appropriate fractional parts. $tudents !ill be
guided into ultiplying one proper fraction !ith another.
%#aluate and +e#ise
$tudents !ill be asked to e)plain in their o!n !ords ho! to ultiply fractions !ith and !ithout
