Lesson
Title: Fractions
Software Applications:
PowerPoint
Directions:
For this fraction lesson,
students will use a template to familiarize themselves with the fractional parts
of a whole. They will then pair up and work on a problem using Kid
Pix 3 to first organize and then to show their thinking and their answers. The
activities will take two or three computer lab visits to complete.
- Save this PowerPoint
template to the student shared directory and have students navigate to that
directory and save the template to their own directories before they begin to
work.
- Slide 1: Title and
name of student.
- Slide 2-8: Students
answer the question at the bottom indicating what part of a figure is or is
NOT shaded.
- Slide 9: Students
answer the question, telling which figure can be divided into four equal
parts. They can draw on top of the figures with the line tool or just
figure it out without drawing.
- Slide 10: Student
Directions slide
- Slide 11: The
question that pairs of students will be working on to find a solution.
- Slide 12: The
Teacher solution slide. Teachers will need to delete this slide
before students save it to their directories.
- Once students have
finished the template on their own, they can be assigned to a partner, and
begin to work together to find the solution to the question posed on Slide 11.
The question is this: Mrs.
Brown has a husband and two kids. She baked a cake that she wanted to
divide equally for the four of them. Show how many shapes she
could bake her cake into, and tell how she would divide each cake into four
equal parts. Then explain why you think this would work.
Students will
open the Kid Pix 3 program and type in the question, solve the problem, draw
solutions and give their reasoning for their answers.
