Grade Level: ​5th grade

Time Frame: ​30 minutes

Common Core Standards

Use equivalent fractions as a strategy to add and subtract fractions.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.5.NF.A.1​--Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators
(including mixed numbers) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way
as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators. ​For example,
2/3 + 5/4 = 8/12 + 15/12 = 23/12. (In general, a/b + c/d = (ad + bc)/bd.)

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.5.NF.A.2​--Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of

fractions that refer to the same whole, including cases of unlike denominators, e.g., by using
visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem. Use benchmark fractions and
number sense of fractions to estimate mentally and assess the reasonableness of answers. ​For
example, recognize an incorrect result 2/5 + 1/2 = 3/7, by observing that 3/7 < 1/2​.

Objective: ​Students will be able to make equivalent fractions with the number line, the area
model, and numbers.

Assessment: ​Students will complete the Problem Set worksheet (in their math binders) and Exit
Ticket (in their math binders).

Procedure:

Anticipatory Set: ​The teacher will introduce a new unit to the class. Students have little
prior knowledge of fractions. The teacher will explain how to use a number line
and area model in order to make equivalent fractions.

Instructional Modeling: ​The teacher will present the math PowerPoint presentation. The
PowerPoint will have blank problems. The teacher will walk students through
each of the problems.
 Student Engagement/Practice:​ The teacher will go through the PowerPoint
presentation with the class. If students have any questions, they can ask the
teacher before moving on to the next problem. The teacher will then start the math
rotations.

Closure: ​By the end of the lesson, students will have completed all four rotations.
This will have given them an opportunity to work in small groups with the
teacher, work with their group members, and work alone.

Instructional Accommodations:

Highly Proficient: For highly proficient learners, they can receive extra practice problems on
their Freckle or Zearn website accounts. Since students are always in rotations, they are
able to complete this task if they have extra time.

ELL: For ELL students, they can have extra help on any of the rotations for math. And because
every student rotates with six people, they all get to work together on math and help one
another.

Struggling Learners: For struggling learners, they can get extra help in the teacher time station.
Since every student rotates it will not call attention to anyone who stays behind to get
extra help. Also, students are allowed to access their Freckle or Zearn website accounts at
home for even more help.
