Time Lesson
Introduction:
10min Students will be instructed to open up their Decimal Math books to page
A-59, ready to be checked and/or corrected.
Students homework from the previous days pgs. A-59 to A- 61 will be
checked.
5 students (for each page of Math homework) will be checked
according to a rotation.
Once the students homework has been checked, the corrections to these
pages will be posted on the SmartBoard, as students correct their own
work.
Development:
20min We will begin on page A-62 #3.
One student will be selected to read the first question aloud to the rest of
the class.
We will complete the first question together, as a class, and give the
students a couple minutes to complete the rest of question.
We will continue in this fashion for the remainder of the questions on
pgs. A-62 and 63, for the next 15-20 minutes.
Since the students have been working hard for the past 20 minutes, the
homework (the pages covered in class) will be written on the board and
we will move on to a new activity.
Students will then be instructed to put away all their belongings, by
clearing their desks, only leaving a pencil and eraser on their desks.
20min The students will be instructed that we are about to play a Math game
concerning the reduction of fractions.
The instructions are as follows:
Each student will be given a sheet of paper (face down) with a fraction
written on it. Students must only turn over the sheet of paper when they
are instructed to.
Students are separated into 4 rows (two rows of 7 and two rows of 8).
Each row acts as one team.
Once the teacher says Go!, the students are expected to turn over the
sheet of paper, and reduce the fraction fully.
Once the students have reduced their fraction, they must work with the
rest of their team members (in their row) to organize their fractions in
order from smallest to largest.
Once the team has discovered the order, they must sit in that order, to
show that they have completed the task.
