DIRECT LESSON PLAN 2

Fractions of Shapes: Parts of a Whole
I.

Grade: Second

26 children, one English Language Learner, ELL, student, and one student
with a Learning Disability, LD.

II.

Subject: Mathematics
Focus: Geometry, Fractions, Shapes

III.

Objective(s)

-Standard to be met:
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.G.A.3
Partition circles and rectangles into two, three, or four equal shares, describe the
shares using the words halves, thirds, half of, a third of, etc., and describe the whole
as two halves, three thirds, four fourths. Recognize that equal shares of identical
wholes need not have the same shape.

IV.

Procedures
-Teacher will begin instruction by reviewing previously learned material from
chapter three of mathematics textbook.
-Begin by talking about the basic shapes, including number of sides, size of
sides, and differences between shapes.
-Teacher will use whiteboard to draw shapes and begin talking about how
splitting a shape in half creates two pieces (or halves), three pieces (thirds), etc.
-Teacher will teach students the words that relate to fractions (halves, thirds,
fourths, etc.)
-Teacher will ask students to reiterate the information and will begin to show an
understanding of the above teachings.
-Students will begin to explore this concept in pairs using the provided fraction
sets.
-Teacher will ask students to create a fraction and allow each pair of students to
work together to put the fraction set pieces into the fraction that was asked.
-Teacher will provide support and instruction to each child as they work on
creating fractions and completing the provided worksheet.
-Students will show understanding of the learned content.

- Student will be provided with a different worksheet, but will still cover the
same information as the original worksheet.
VIII. Assessment
-Using a take home worksheet and in class quiz, students will show understanding of
fractions and the vocabulary of fractions, such as halves, thirds, etc.
-Students will be able to draw shapes and divide into fractions
-Students will be able to identify fractions by the vocabulary given
