Lesson Frame:
- We will simplify fractions in our rotation groups.
- I will evaluate the importance of prime numbers when simplifying fractions.
Lesson:
Best laid plans ... This was one of those days. It isn't that anything went wrong, it was just that to succeed today, I needed to remove the rotation element. So, instead of moving into our rotation groups, students remained at their seats and worked with their table groups.
This allowed students to work at their own pace without the pressure of a 15 minute timer. Again, students had six problems to solve on their mystery picture (again, on a Google Form) and they were allowed to work as a group. Once they finished these, they could begin their Khan Assignment: Simplifying Fractions.
I also took away some pressure by letting them know that we would finish the Khan Assignment tomorrow.
Closure:
Evaluate the importance of prime numbers when simplifying fractions.
Assignment: Fifth Grade Builder #19
