Whole Group Math Lesson Activity

Number Talk- a short daily routine that helps students develop mental math skills and computational fluency. Students are encouraged to use operations in ways that are meaningful to them, clarify their own thinking and apply number relationship.

Number Talk Steps

1. The teacher presents a computational problem.

2. Using mental math skills students silently figure out the answer and put their thumb up when they have the answer.

3. Three or four students share their strategies they used to arrive at the answers, and the teacher records them on the board.

4. The class asks questions, discusses the strategies and agree on the answer.

Teacher’s Role

1. Value the thinking of all students.

2. Select appropriate problems that focus on concepts the students have learned.

3. Record, clarify and focus on that the students say. Ask questions like: How did you figure that out? Who did it another way? Who solved it the same way? Does anyone have any questions for Sally? Sally tell us the first thing you did?

4. Informally assess students and plan small group instruction where necessary.

Lessons for Week of 4/8/19-4/12/19

3rd Grade- Students will work on:

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

Standard 3.NF. 3A- Understand two fractions as equivalent (equal) if they are the same size, or the same point on a number line.

Standard 3.NF.3B- Recognize and generate simple equivalent fractions, e.g., 1/2 = 2/4, 4/6 = 2/3. Explain why the fractions are equivalent, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.

Activities/Skills

• Review questions

• Fraction vocabulary

• Building Equivalent Fractions game

4th Grade- Students will work on:

Standard 4.NF.1- Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction (n × a)/(n × b) by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size. Use this principle to recognize and generate equivalent fractions.

Activities/Skills

• Review questions

• Fraction vocabulary game

• Find the missing number in equivalent fractions

5th Grade- Students will work on:

Standard 5.NF.2- Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring to the same whole, including cases of unlike denominators, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem. Use benchmark fractions and number sense of fractions to estimate mentally and assess the reasonableness of answers.

Activities/Skills

• Review questions

• Fraction vocabulary

• Estimate Fraction Sums and Differences

•
