Title:Engage NY Modified 3rd Grade Lesson 9 Module 5 Sherri Schulz/Stacy Fuehrer
Subject(s):  Math
Grade Level(s):3rd GradeTotal Time: 75 Minutes

Overview / Description:

This Engage NY/Eureka Math lesson was modified to include a numberless word problem and a “What Doesn’t Belong” Activity. The Google Slides presentation from Embarc was changed to fit the modifications that were made to the lesson and to help the teacher navigate throughout the math instruction. The main learning objective is that students will build and write fractions greater than one whole using unit fractions.


Learning goals/objectives:

After completing this activity, students should be able to . . .

  • Build fractions greater than one whole using unit fractions

  • Write fractions greater than one whole using  unit fractions


Content Standards:

  • 3.OA.2-Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers, e.g. interpret 56/8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares, or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each.

  • 3.NF.3-Explain equivalence of fractions in special cases, and compare fractions by reasoning about their size.

  • 3.G.2-Partition shapes into parts with equal areas. Express the area of each part as a unit fraction of the whole.

  • 3.NF.1-Understand a fraction 1/b as the quantity formed by 1 part when a whole is partitioned into b equal parts; understand a fraction a/b as the quantity formed by a part of size 1/b.

Approximate time
for task

Fluency Practice: The students will complete the Sprint sheets to practice multiplying by eights

I6 mins

Which Doesn’t Belong: The students will discuss and analyze the four quadrants to give reasoning of which fraction doesn’t belong

WG10 mins

Fluency Practice: Students will use number bond models to find the unknown parts

WG2 mins

Application Problem: Students will practice their pictorial representation for a fraction word problem. The word problem is broken into many little steps where at the end of each step the students list their “wonderings” and what they notice. This is modeled off of a numberless word problem drill in order to teach word problem attack strategies.

WG10 mins

Concept Development: The teacher will represent visually fractions greater than a whole by using and partitioning two oranges for the class to see. The students will model this visual by drawing the pictorial representation on their personal whiteboards. The students will eventually show their pictorial representations as a number bond by working with a partner.

T, WG, SG25 mins




Problem Set: Students will work through the problem set sheets to apply their Concept Development learning.
  I   10 mins
 Debrief: When students are finished with their problem set, the teacher will close the lesson with these questions:

“How did you solve problem 3 on your Problem Set sheet?”

“How else can be identify a fraction greater than a whole?”

  WG  10 mins
 Exit Ticket: The students will complete the Exit Ticket for a formative assessment.I 3 mins


Assessment



Wrap-Up/Closing:

Debrief: When students are finished with their problem set, the teacher will close the lesson with these questions:

“How did you solve problem 3 on your Problem Set sheet?”

“How else can be identify a fraction greater than a whole?”

Extension Activity (for intervention or enrichment):

If time remains, students will practice building and writing fractions greater than a whole using the Education Galaxy App on their iPad. This is a paid app.
