Teacher: Mrs. Roach

Grade Level: 2nd Advanced

Subject Area: Math

Length of Lesson: 1 day

Desired Results
3.NS.8: Compare two fractions with the same numerator or the same denominator by
reasoning about their size based on the same whole. Record the results of
comparisons with the symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions (e.g., by using a
visual fraction model).
Enduring Understandings

Recognize different numerators and

denominators
Define the greatest common factor
Decide what symbol to use (< > = )
Collaborate with group to agree on
whether or not the fractions are equal

Essential Question(s)
What am I trying to make equal?
How will I decide if the two given
fractions are equal?
Do the two fractions have the same
denominator?
What can I multiply each fraction by to
make them have the same
denominator?
Are the new fractions equal to, less
than, or greater than the other?

Knowledge and Skill Objectives

SWBAT
Recall how to determine equal denominators.
Determine whether or not two fractions are equivalent.
Differentiate between equal greater than and less than fractions.
Understand what (< > = ) mean and be able to use them correctly.
Assessment Evidence
Students will have completed drawings of each fraction given to them on a worksheet for
practice in class. Students will work in groups with different fraction tools like whiteboards
and game pieces. Class will make big poster of examples together.

Give an example of how you know the activity was interesting to the children.
I know that the activity was interesting for the kids because they were having fun and got to
work in groups.
Describe how the activity included opportunities for the children to test their knowledge.
The activity gave the kids an opportunity to test their knowledge by giving examples to the
class
Describe a follow up activity that would build on concepts you have presented.
Subtracting fractions
What behavior(s) did you observe while presenting the activity? What do you think caused the
behavior(s)?
The kids were often to loud because they were all talking in their groups.
How did you involve the children in the closure of the activity?
Each kid got to put one example of equivalent fractions on the board
