Communication and Collaboration
Students use digital media and environments to communicate
and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support
individual learning and contribute to the learning of others.
Students:
A. interact, collaborate, and publish with peers, experts, or others
employing a variety of digital environments and media.
Rationale
Statement:
This lesson needs to be addressed to insure that the students grasp the
concepts of fractions and mixed numbers. The students will benefit from
this lesson by remembering the concepts previously taught, and
understand the concepts(if they did not understand the first time the topic
was taught)
The students will be able to…..
1. Identify the appropriate steps to solve a math problem
2. Explain their reasoning on how they got their solutions to the math
problems
3. Demonstrate the ability to complete a math problem of fractions or
mixed numbers
M4N6. Students will further develop their understanding of the
meaning of decimal fractions and common fractions and use them
in computations.
b. Add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers with like denominators.
(Denominators should not exceed twelve.)
c. Use mixed numbers and improper fractions interchangeable
The students should understand fractions and mixed numbers. The
students should be able to add, subtract, and interchange mixed numbers
and improper fractions. The students should be able to operate a
promethean board.
The technology enhances this lesson by allowing the students to be more
interactive with the lesson. The students will use the promethean board to
operate the game. The students will use the promethean board to move
from problem to problem, as well as write on the promethean board.

60+ minutes
The teacher will:
•
Present PowerPoint on fractions, reintroducing the rules (15
minutes)
•
Review mixed fractions, and give examples (15 minutes)
•
Review improper fractions, and provide examples
•
Review adding fractions, and provide examples(15minutes)
•
Review subtracting fractions, and provide examples
•
Introduce jeopardy game (10minutes)
•
Explain rules of the game
•
Observe team captains (less than 5 minutes)
•
Split the class into two teams
•
Control the game (30minutes)
1. There will be a rubric to grade the students on the steps they take
to solve a problem. There will be a checklist.
a. Did the student set the problem up correctly? Is the next step of
the problem correct? Did the student get the correct answer?
(three questions to check off to ensure the students are using the correct
skills)
2. Praise the student for the correct answer and assist the students
with any wrong answer.
3. Points will be given to the team the student is on that get the
correct answer being: 200 points, 300 points, etc.
The teacher will reiterate and speak the rules of the game clearly. The
teacher will post rules on the wall. The words will be posted big enough
for the entire class to see. There will be given a set amount of time to
complete a problem
Each student will get a chance to come to the promethean board to
answer a problem. The teacher will assist the student will moving on the
next question. The teacher will assist the students will any technical
problem that may occur while playing the game.
1. I would consider presenting the lesson in my classroom. The jeopardy game is a great way to have the
students interact during the lesson and not just sit around and listen to a lecture. I could improve my
lesson by providing more time for review and for any questions my students may have. I can improve
my lesson by using a variety of problems to make the game versatile and interesting.
