A: Standards
B. Objectives
C. Assessments:
i. Informal assessment strategies you will use during class (What informal assessment
strategies will you use, what specific evidence will you see and/or hear and how will you
note it?)
Assessment Strategy Evidence of Student Learning
ii. Written assessment you will use to determine, for each individual student, to what extent
they have met your learning objectives. (What specific evidence will you collect?)

that a fraction is the same thing as division. Their solutions will include an
equation for each part, with valid drawings/models and explanations of what
they did/how they know it is correct.

Book (each student has one in their desk) (see attached)
○ Unit 3 Lesson 10 (Activity 1)
● “Sharing Lunches” rich task handout (see attached)
Introduction (15 min.): Describe how you will 1) make connections to prior knowledge, tap into
their experiences and interests or use a “hook”, AND 2) let students know what the objective of the
lesson is.
*Before lunch ends, pass out enough whiteboards, markers, and erasers for each student to the table
groups
● (modified from California Expressions TE, Unit 3, Lesson 10)
● Ask students to show a thumbs up or thumbs down if they ate pie on Thanksgiving
● Tell students to pretend that they are trying to split a pre-cut, leftover pie amongst their friends
● Ask if the pie has 5 pieces left, and you want to split it equally between 6 people, how would
they do that?
● Give students 1 minute to think about this problem
● Have students volunteer to share their answer and explain how they knew it was true
○ Possible answers:
■ ⅚ of a piece because 5 divided by 6 is ⅚
● Share the lesson objective:
○ I will be able to:
■ divide a whole number by whole number to get a fraction
■ represent my thinking by using models (drawings, number lines, etc.)
■ rewrite a division problem as a fraction
Body of the Lesson (35 minutes): Describe step-by-step what the teacher and the students will be
doing during the lesson.
ii. Student 2:
● For part A:
● Breaks both sandwiches into equal parts of ⅔ , ⅔, and ⅔ and knows that
each person will be getting ⅔ of the sandwiches
● For part B:
● Adds ⅔ + ⅔ + ⅔ = 6/3 = 2
● For part C:
● ⅔ X 3 = ⅔ X 3/1 = 6/3 = 2
● For part D:
● ⅓X2=⅔
● For part E:
● 2÷3=⅔
iii. Student 3: (if applicable)
● For part A-E:
● Choose a students who thinks of a unique/new way to solve this problem
(have them share at the end if there is time)
4. Allow students to work independently for 10-15 minutes
5. After 10 minutes, ask students to show how many more minutes they need (up to 5) with their
fingers in the air
6. Decide how much extra time to give students to work based on the majority need
7. Set a timer under the document camera for that amount of time so students can see how much
time they have left as they finish up
10. Part C:
○ Student should have ⅔ X 3 = ⅔ X 3/1 = 6/3 = 2
○ Ask students to think about how this student did the problem
○ Call on one student to explain how they thought about this problem
i. Answers may include (but are not limited to)
● “He/she multiplied ⅔ by 3 and got 2”
● “He/she multiplied ⅔ by 3/1 and got 2”
○ Ask questions to elicit thinking like “How did you know to use those numbers?” or
“What do those numbers represent?”
ii. Answers may include (but are not limited to)
● “There are 3 groups of ⅔ sandwiches which is equal to 2 whole
sandwiches”
11. Part D:
○ Student should have ⅓ X 2 = ⅔
○ Ask students to think about how this student did the problem
○ Call on one student to explain how they thought about this problem
i. Answers may include (but are not limited to)
● “He/she multiplied ⅓ by 2 and got ⅔ ”
○ Ask questions to elicit thinking like “How did you know to use those numbers?” or
“What do those numbers represent?”
ii. Answers may include (but are not limited to)
● “⅓ sandwich from each of the 2 sandwiches to get ⅔ of both
sandwiches”
12. Part E
○ Student should have 2 ÷ 3 = ⅔
○ Ask students to think about how this student did the problem
○ Call on one student to explain how they thought about this problem
i. Answers may include (but are not limited to)
● “He/she divided 3 by 2 to get ⅔ ”
○ Ask questions to elicit thinking like “How did you know to use those numbers?” or
“What do those numbers represent?”
ii. Answers may include (but are not limited to)
● “We are dividing 2 sandwiches by the 3 people who are sharing them”
13. Invite the third student (if applicable) to explain how they did the problem (*in a unique way
that will make sense to everybody)
14. Ask students to think about how this student did the problem
15. Call on one students to explain how they thought about this problem
16. **Explain that Part E shows the easiest way to get the answer to the initial question. 2
sandwiches split between 3 people is simply ⅔, which is simply the numerator divided by the
denominator
17. Explain that “÷” and “/” are both division symbols. “/” is a fraction bar which means to divide
18. Collect rich task worksheets (make sure name and number are on each)
19. Work through Math Activity Workbook pages 91 together (see attached for specific instruction)
○ Focus on problems #1-7 (activity 1 only)
20. Discuss the different models used on page 91 to help figure out the problem
21. Emphasize that using models can be a useful tool to help work through a word problem
Homework (if you are assigning homework, what will it be?):
Closure (5 minutes): Describe how you will prompt the students to summarize the lesson and restate
the learning objective.
● Students will take out a piece of paper and put their names/numbers on it
● Students will explain in writing what they learned during this lesson
○ Some answers may be (but are not limited to):
i. I learned how to draw models to represent math
ii. I learned how to divide a whole number by whole number to get a fraction
iii. I learned how to rewrite a division problem as a fraction
● Have students share what they wrote with a partner
● Call on 2-3 students (using student cards) and have them share out loud with the class
● Collect papers
1. Describe the rich learning task(s) related to the content learning objective.
● Students will work independently to complete a word problem to equally split two sandwiches
between three students and then answer questions to interpret that a fraction is a numerator
divided by a denominator.
2. Language Function: How will students be communicating in relation to the content in the learning
task(s)? Identify the specific function (purpose or genre) you want to systematically address in
your lesson plan that will scaffold students to stronger disciplinary discourse. The language
function will always be a verb. Some examples are: describe, identify, explain, justify, analyze,
construct, compare, or argue.
● Explain
3. Language Demands: Looking at the specific function (purpose or genre) your students will be
using, what are the language demands that you will systematically address in this lesson?
Vocabulary:
Key to this lesson: fraction, whole number, numerator, denominator, equation, fraction bar
Syntax1: Equation, “I know this equation is correct because…”, “I think __ represents ___
because in this equation because…”, “I split the sandwich into ___ so each person can have
___.”
1 Use of a variety of sentence types to clarify a message, condense information, and combine ideas, phrases, and clauses.
Discourse2: Connect an equation to the explanation and show their reasoning with a sentence
or two/ drawing a picture.
4. Language Objective: What is/are the language objective(s) for your lesson? (The students will
(FUNCTION) (LANGUAGE RELATED TO CONTENT) (SYNTAX AND/OR DISCOURSE)
For example: The students will compare different types of parallelograms using transition words
such as similarly, different from or by contrast. Note: be sure to copy and paste this into the top of
the lesson planner.
● The students will explain that a fraction is the same thing as division using models/pictures and
sentences to explain their thinking.
5. What does your language objective sound like/look like for different levels of language learners?
Ask yourself, “What would the students say/write when using the language function.” Remember
to consider the language demands while creating sample language that the students might use.
6. Language Support: What instructional strategies will you use during your lesson to teach the
specific language skill and provide support and opportunities for guided and independent practice?
2Discourse includes the structures of written and oral language, as well as how member of the discipline talk, write, and
participate in knowledge construction.
