    This lesson plan is for a 4th grade math class on comparing fractions. The objectives are for students to compare fractions by creating common denominators or numerators, understand fractions must have the same size whole to compare, and justify comparisons using symbols. Materials include whiteboards, markers, paper. Students will learn through a whole class example, partner work using think-pair-share, and individual closing questions. Differentiation includes support for struggling students and extensions for advanced students. Assessment is informal through think-pair-share and formal with closing questions and homework.

    Lesson Plan

    Grade:​ 4​th​ grade

    Topic:​ Math
    Standard:
    4.NF.A.2

    Compare two fractions with different numerators and different denominators (e.g., by creating
    common denominators or numerators and by comparing to a benchmark fraction).

    a. Understand that comparisons are valid only when the two fractions refer to the same size
    whole.

    b. Record the results of comparisons with symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions.

    Objectives:

    1. Students will be able to compare two fractions by creating common denominators or


    numerators.
    2. Students will understand that two fractions can only be compared if they have the same
    size whole.
    3. Students will be able to record the results of comparisons with symbols >, =, or <, and
    justify the conclusions.

    Materials
    1. small white boards
    2. dry erase markers
    3. smartboard
    4. notebook paper
    5. writing utensils
    Lesson (Cooperative Learning)
    Whole Class
    1. Greet students and have them start on their bellwork.
    2. Go over the bellwork by asking volunteers to share their answers.
    3. Introduce the new math lesson and ask volunteers to read the objectives of the day
    aloud to the class.
    4. Go over an example of comparing fractions to the class on the smart board.
    5. Show students the numerator shortcut.
    6. Ask students to partner up with the person sitting in front of them and have them do
    the think, work, share procedure.

    Group Work
    1. Remind them the instructions of think, pair, share.
    2. Provide 4 different questions and answers to the class as they work in pairs.
    3. Have students share the answers they collaborated on, on little whiteboards.
    Individual Work
    1. Before collaboration with their pairs, have students think to themselves and solve the
    problems individually first.
    2. Have students write their responses individually to the closing questions and turn them
    in.
    Closing Questions
    1. The alligator always eats the __________ denominator.
    2. T/F You can compare two fractions with different denominators.
    3. What was your favorite part of today’s lesson?

    Differentiation
    Students who need support
    Students will have my assistance along with their partner’s assistance.
    Students will have the symbols and meanings sheet at their desk.
    Students will have a fraction illustration sheet at their desk with pictures of different fractions.
    Students can draw pictures instead of using multiplication to solve the questions.

    Students who need an extension


    Students can draw me a picture about math instead of completing the closing questions.
    Students can mentor other students who need help with the closing questions.

    Different learning styles


    I will offer support to students during each step of the think-pair-share process.
    I will circulate around the class to listen and join in on group work discussions.
    Assessment
    Informal
    Think-pair-share- Students will individually solve the question, collaborate their answers with
    their partner, and share their final response to the class with a whiteboard. Teacher will
    circulate at this time.
    Formal
    Students will complete the closing questions individually and turn them in.
    Students will complete a worksheet on comparing fractions for homework.
