Remember...this is your chance to be a creative teacher. Include any worksheets, materials that you create so they are available to your classmates. Briana and Ariel Lesson Plan: Sixth Grade Math (Adding) Targeted Intelligence: Logical/Mathematical Supporting Intelligences: Verbal Intelligence, Visual- Spatial Intelligence Thinking Skills: Order of Operations Social Skills: Interacting in small groups Content Focus: Adding Fractions Materials: Worksheet, Pencil, Calculator Task/Focus: To be able to solve with adding unlike fractions Product: The ability to add unlike fractions with assistance if needed Problem: The need to learn to add unlike fractions Activity: Students will be given a worksheet that includes unlike denominators in problems. There will be ten problems with equations containing different fractions. Teacher will collect the sheet and then check for accuracy. Reflections: Were the students struggeling with the lesson? Is it too easy for some students? What can I improve for next year?

 Suzanne Leslie and Michelle Kay  January 6, 2009    Lesson Name: Factors with unlike denominators   Targeted Intelligence: Mathematical and Logical   Supportive Intelligences: Verbal and spatial   Content Focus: Meanings of operations and procedures, and how they relate to one another   Materials: Pencil and Paper, Calculator within groups   Activity: Give students a Do Now that contains unlike denominators using addition and subtraction. Teacher will go over Do Now. Do two to three examples on the board so students can see visually what is expected. They will be then separated into groups to use their mathematical skills and logic skills to reason and produce the right answers. Using objects such as an apple a simple problem can be made such as ¾ of an apple + ½ of an apple = ? Using the objects they have the students can determine that it equals 1 ¼.
