|Framework: 3N3 Identify and represent fractions (between 0 and 1 with denominators through 10) as parts of unit wholes and parts of groups. |

|Objective (what should |Students will write and identify fractional representations using letter of their first names. |

|students know and be able to | |

|do) | |

|Materials |Cubes, construction paper, crayons, markers |

|Vocabulary |Fraction, denominator, numerator, parts, wholes, consonant, vowel |

|Launch |Students create name card. Review vowels and consonants. Tell students to write names and notice how many of each vowel and|

| |consonant are in their names. Discuss and review fractions. Define numerator as the part and the denominator as a whole. |

| | |

|Explore |Students use two different colors of cubes to represent vowels and consonants in their first names. Students write what |

| |parts of their names are vowels and consonants, and then write the parts as fractions. |

|Summarize |Students share and compare results. Who had more vowels? Consonants? Were students able to identify the correct numerator |
