Shape, Dimension, and Geometric

Relationships
Lesson Plan

Teacher: Ms. Lastiyano


Date: 03/03/2016

Overview & Purpose


Using our manipulatives we will solve the problems from Jon Scieszkas Math
Curse. Each problem chosen from the book will be something we can solve
using fractions and equal groups to find our answers.

Education Standards
Content Area: Mathematics Standard: 4. Shape, Dimension, and
Geometric Relationships
ii. Partition shapes into parts with equal areas.
Express the area of each part as a unit fraction of the whole.4
(CCSS: 3.G.2)

Materials Needed
Math Curse-Jon Scieszka & Lane Smith
Notebook paper
sharpened pencil

Engage
Describe activity that will reinforce the lesson
1. Pull out manipulative shapes, rhombus, trapezoid, etc.
2. Make an example, If a rhombus is equal to 1 what is each
triangle worth? (This requires student participation.)
3. Introduce book. Now that we understand fractions can add up to
equal a whole, I want to introduce you to a book that deals with the
math weve been learning! Math Curse, by Jon Scieszka. After we read
it, I will assign each table a problem from the book and work to solve
them using our manipulatives!
4. Begin reading book.
5. Once you are done reading the book, hand out a sheet of
notebook paper to each child.
6. Assign each child a problem from the book, because we are using
manipulatives to represent fractions, we are going to be assigning each
table problems from page 6 and page 7. (each page has more than one
problem. Some also need additional support to make them harder,)

Assessment
To assess, I will give the kids an exit ticket. They will be forming their own
problems using the methods we learned about. i.e, if one trapezoid is equal
to 1, what is a rhombus equal to?
Create your own fraction using the manipulatives and write it on a separate
piece of paper. Make sure to check your problem to see if it works!
Once you are finished, raise your hand and I will come collect your exit
ticket and you may go back to your classrooms. Thank you!
