The aim of this lesson is to ensure that students are capable of adding fractions with same
denominator to ensure that they are confident with this topic. Therefore, if students are confident
with adding fractions with same denominator, they will be introduced to simple fractions word
problems/ equations that contain unlike denominator. Hence, unlike denominator will be the
following numbers (1, 2 and 5) because students are only familiar with the mentioned multiples.
Materials:
teacher books NA
student book(s) NA
worksheets/ papers Differentiated addition worksheets (equations with visual pictures for lower
leveled students, equations with no pictures for medium leveled students and
they should draw the portions and word problems for high leveled students
that requires them to solve and draw portions).
teacher materials Frozens Pizza Party (a story that was created by me which illustrates adding
fractions word problems) and White board.

Students have learnt about equivalent, comparing, ordering and subtracting fractions with same
denominator. However, students in this lesson will only learn about adding fractions with the same
denominator because they didnt spend enough time on this topic. Therefore, I want to ensure that
they are learning this topic in steps so as to satisfy their understanding and they are confident about
this topic. Thus, if students succeeded throughout adding fractions with same denominator, they will
move to a further step which is solving fractions with unlike denominator (denominator number will
be 1, 2 and 5 because as mentioned above those are the only multiples they are aware of).
Solutions:
Behavior rules will be clearly announced at the beginning of the lesson in order to avoid any
negative behavior from occurring, as they will be told that all groups will answer by writing their
answer on the mini board and put it up to show their teacher. However, if a certain student continued
misbehaving she will be told that her whole group will loose a point from their jigsaw profile
(Online behavior system). In such way, the student will behave well because her team will inform
her that they want to win points and she needs to behave accordingly. In addition, teacher will have
extension tasks for students who finishes early to ensure that they are busy on completing another
task. Finally, teacher will guide the lower leveled students if they struggled by modeling for them
one equation in order to ensure that they are capable of solving the equations.
Lesson Schedule
Targeted teacher language: Fraction, numerator, denominator and addition.
Student language: Students will share with their teacher the meaning of fractions, numerator,
denominator and addition by giving her examples. For example, a student would say Denominator is
the number on the bottom like 6 eighths, eight is the denominator.
Engage (warm up, review prior knowledge): Time:
(Thus, students who are going to behave well and participate within the classroom will
be rewarded by adding point into their jigsaw profile).
Transition: Teacher will transition the students in to the middle part of the lesson
(activity) by saying ABC- 123.
Core (introduce and practice new concepts & procedures):
(Thus, students who are going to behave well and participate within the classroom will
be rewarded by adding point into their jigsaw profile).
Transition: Teacher will transition the students into the last part of the lesson (closure)
by clapping her hand.
