Lesson 11: Adding and subtracting unlike fractions
Students will add and subtract fractions with like and unlike denominators.
Lesson 2: Estimating and measuring distance
Students will practice measuring length with accuracy and working between different units of measurement by completing a measurement ‘hunt’.
Lesson 1: Identifying units of measurement
This provocation can be used as a pre-assessment. Students will explore different units of measurement and identify types of measurements in real-life situations.
Lesson 8: Problem-solving with fractions of amounts
Students will apply their knowledge of fractions of amounts in order to investigate different problem-solving spending scenarios.
Lesson 7: Calculating fractions of amounts
Students will explore how to find fractions of amounts through visuals, diagrams and number sentences. Students will apply this knowledge to a problem-solving activity that involves sorting sunken treasure.
Lesson 6: Comparing unlike fractions in a game
Students will continue to apply their knowledge of comparing fractions with a fraction battle game.
Lesson 5: Comparing unlike fractions
This lesson explores the concept of comparing fractions with unlike denominators using the lowest common multiple. Students will use their knowledge to find out who won the Ravenous Robot Championship.
Lesson 4: Simplifying fractions in a game
Students will apply their knowledge of simplifying fractions to play a space-themed fraction game called Planet Protection.
Lesson 3: Simplifying fractions
Students will learn how to simplify fractions using the greatest common factor. They will complete an activity that involves solving clues to identify Fraction Phil’s true identity.
Lesson 2: Creating equivalent fractions
Students will explore equivalent fractions using fraction walls and multiplication. They will use their new skills to play a game called Crazy Cupcakes.
