Representing, Comparing, and Arranging Dissimilar Fractions

Grade: 3 Subject: MATHEMATICS Duration 60 Minutes

Lesson Focus
The lesson focuses on the development of pupils' skills on representing, comparing, and
arranging dissimilar fractions.
Materials Needed: Learning Objective/s:
Fraction manipulatives (e.g., fraction circles,
fraction bars, fraction strips) By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:
Whiteboard or chart paper represent dissimilar fractions using visual models.
Markers compare and order dissimilar fractions in increasing
Paper and decreasing order.
Pencils apply their understanding of dissimilar fractions in

Interactive whiteboard or projector (optional) interactive activities.

Fraction comparison and ordering game (online
or printable)

Structure / Activity
This lesson plan aims to help Grade 3 learners represent, compare, and arrange
dissimilar fractions in increasing and decreasing order.

Process
Introduction (5 minutes):
Greet the students and introduce the concept of dissimilar fractions.
Review the concept of fractions and ensure students have a basic
understanding of numerators and denominators.
Explain that today, they will learn how to represent, compare, and
arrange dissimilar fractions in increasing and decreasing order.
Share the learning objectives with the students.

Activity 1: Visual Representation (15 minutes):

Distribute fraction manipulatives to each learneror group of students.
Ask the students to choose a fraction card (e.g., 3/4) and represent it
using the manipulatives.
Have students draw their representation on paper and label the
numerator and denominator.
Repeat the process with several other dissimilar fractions, allowing
students to explore and create visual models on their own.
Discuss the different representations as a class and reinforce the
understanding of dissimilar fractions.
Process
Activity 2: Comparing Fractions (20 minutes):
Use a whiteboard or chart paper to create a table with two columns
labeled "Fraction A" and "Fraction B."
Provide a set of fraction comparison cards or write a pair of dissimilar
fractions on the board.
Ask students to determine which fraction is greater and place it in the
corresponding column.
Discuss the reasoning behind their choices and encourage students to
explain their thinking.
Repeat the process with additional comparison cards or pairs of fractions,
gradually increasing the complexity.

Provide opportunities for students to compare fractions independently or

in small groups, using the manipulatives and drawings from Activity 1.

Activity 3: Ordering Fractions (15 minutes):

Introduce the concept of arranging fractions in increasing and decreasing
order.
Provide a set of fraction ordering cards or write a set of dissimilar
fractions on the board.
Ask students to arrange the fractions in order, either from smallest to
largest or largest to smallest.
Discuss the strategies used by students and share different approaches as
a class.
Repeat the process with additional sets of fractions, challenging students
to order a larger number of fractions or fractions with different
denominators.
Conclusion and Assessment (5 minutes):
Summarize the key points covered in the lesson.
Engage the students in a brief discussion about the importance of
understanding dissimilar fractions and their real-life applications.
Assign a fraction comparison and ordering game as homework or an
extension activity to reinforce the concepts learned during the lesson.
Assess the students' understanding through informal observation during the
activities and their participation in class discussions.
Note: Adapt the activities and materials as per the needs and resources
available in your classroom. Additionally, incorporate any necessary
modifications or accommodations to support students with diverse learning
needs.
