Whiteboard and markers
Fraction worksheet
Introduction (5 minutes): Begin the lesson by reviewing what a fraction is and the parts of a fraction (numerator and denominator). Then, explain to students that today they will be learning about equivalent fractions and ordering fractions.
Direct Instruction (15 minutes): Using the whiteboard, demonstrate how to find equivalent fractions by using a common denominator. For example, show students how to change 2/4 to 1/2 by dividing the numerator and denominator by 2.
Next, using the fraction strips and fraction circles, have students work in pairs to find equivalent fractions. As they work, circulate the room to provide support and guidance as needed.
Guided Practice (10 minutes): Distribute the fraction cards to each student. Have them work with a partner to match the equivalent fractions. Review the answers as a class to check for understanding.
Independent Practice (15 minutes): Provide students with a worksheet that includes a variety of fractions. Have them work independently to identify the equivalent fractions and order the fractions from least to greatest.

Assessment: The worksheet completed during independent practice will be collected and used to assess student understanding of adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators.
Note: It’s important to point out that the concept of adding and subtracting with unlike denominators should be taught after students have a good understanding of the concept of fractions and equivalent fractions. It’s also important to use different visual aids and manipulatives to help students understand and visualize the concept. It’s also important to give ample practice problems with different denominators to help them master the concept. Also, it’s important to stress the importance of finding the least common denominator when adding and subtracting unlike denominators. It’s also important to give ample practice problems with different denominators to help them master the concept.
