Year Level: 3 Time: 1:50-2:50pm Date: 18th June 2019 Students’ Prior Knowledge:

Learning Area: Visual Art & Mathematics  Students are currently working on fractions in
maths lessons
Strand/Topic from the Australian Curriculum
Model and represent unit fractions including ½ , ¼ , 1/3 , 1/5
and their multiples to a complete whole (ACMNA058)
AND
Development of artistic processes and techniques to
explore visual conventions

General Capabilities (that may potentially be covered in the lesson)

Literacy Numeracy ICT Critical and Ethical Personal and Intercultural
competence creative thinking behaviour Social understanding

Cross-curriculum priorities (may be addressed in the lesson)
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Asia and Australia’s engagement with Asia Sustainability
histories and cultures
Proficiencies:(Mathematics only)
Lesson Objectives (i.e. anticipated outcomes of this lesson, in point form beginning with an action verb)

As a result of this lesson, students will be able to:

 Create a picture using whole, half of, and quarter of shape pieces

Teacher’s Prior Preparation/Organisation: Provision for students at educational risk:

 Make sure we have all of the materials:  All students can participate in this task, however I
 You will need blank white paper, coloured paper, will make sure that during, I will walk around to
pencils, scissors and markers keep students on task.

 Alena will need assistance labelling the shapes

with correct fractions. I will ask her the following
questions:
- How much of the shape (e.g. circle) are you using
for this part of the artwork? Answer may be: half of
it. Then show her that half of it looks like ½

Time Motivation and Introduction:
1.50pm  Today the students will create a picture by using wholes, halves and White paper
quarters of different shapes. They will also be asked to label the shapes
as 1, 1/2 or ¼. For extension, students can do smaller fractions to create
Introducing Fraction Art
more detailed artworks.
 Model the activity to the class while they are on the mat. Show them how
Coloured paper
you use a stencil to trace circles and squares, then cut them into relevant
fractions.

Lesson Steps (Lesson content, structure, strategies & Key Questions):

Stencils
Instructions for craft activity:
2pm  Students use stencils to trace shapes onto coloured paper.
Pencils
 They then cut the shapes into quarters, halves or leave them whole

 Then they label the part accordingly (1/2, ¼ or 1)

Scissors
 They then glue the shape onto a bigger piece of paper and create a
picture with their shapes.

 This is open ended so students can make any kind of picture they
would like. I will model it to create a beach scene, however students
can choose another kind of landscape, animal etc. as long as they
label the parts correctly.

Lesson Closure:(Review lesson objectives with students)

2:40pm  At the end of the lesson do a “gallery walk” whereby we lay each
artwork on the desk and in a line (like a conga line) we trail around
the classroom and look at one another’s artworks.

 When they are all completed, I will display these on the wall where
the Minecraft selfies currently are hung.

Transition: (What needs to happen prior to the next lesson?)

2:50pm  Students will pack up their materials, pack and stack and sit on the
mat ready for the end of the day.

Assessment: (Were the lesson objectives met? How will these be judged?)

The objectives will be judged upon whether all students have contributed in
this art activity and I will question students throughout the lesson to see that
they understand that fractions make a whole.
