Follow-up
worksheet to be handed in during class.
Theoretical
Perspective:
Important
because it introduces the sometimes difficult concept of
fractions in a
technological way to see if the students understand
fully what a fraction is.
Can be applied to many real- life situations and it is
displayed in this
activity using pizza. Procedure: a.
Teachers and
students will have a conversation
about what they know and understand about fractions.
Afterwards, teacher will
hand out the instructions to students and go over what
the students will have
to do in pairs as well as show them on the teacher
computer how to access the
website. b.
Students will
pair up, go to a computer and
launch the website. Teachers will help students who have
difficulty accessing
the website. Students will participate in the activity
following the
instruction sheet. When the students have finished the
activity, the class as a
group will split up into individuals and complete the
follow-up work sheet and
hand it in. When the whole class has completed their
work, they will find other
fraction websites to explore. c.
After the
students are done exploring, the
teacher will hand back the work sheets and have them
swap sheets with their
partners. As a class we will grade the work sheet so the
students can get
immediate feedback on how they are doing with fractions.
d.
The teacher pairs
up students based on their
abilities so they will be able to help each other as
well as know which pairs
will need the most help. Teacher will also walk around
the room and help out. Evaluation:
a. The
student will be able to: 1.
Define numerator,
denominator, and fraction
because on the follow-up worksheet they will show their
understanding of these
words by correctly answering vocabulary questions on
these words. 2.
Match the correct
fraction with the correct
pizza/tables because they will have completed the
website game as well as
correctly answered questions on the follow-up sheet. b. Because
fractions are
complicated, it will be hard to know and understand
where each kid is at
concerning fractions. |
