Grade Level 4Time 40 minutes motif Math Topic Dividing and Multiplying to Find Equivalent FractionsNY State Learning Standards Mathematics, Science, and TechnologyStandard 1 Analysis, Inquiry, and DesignStudents will use mathematical analysis and scientific inquiry to seek answers and develop solutions.Materials Mathematics Textbooks (page 401)NotebooksPencilsDifferent colored chalkObjectives Students will be able to name and write equivalent fractions by manifolding and dividing. action 1.Ask students What does equivalent mean?2.Point out that we have already used fraction strips to show equivalent fractions.3.Explain that we are now spillage to use multiplication and division to write equivalent fractions.4.First, start with multiplication and show an example of how to make an equivalent fraction. Remind students that what we do to the top we must do to the bottom (signal hands up.hands down)5.Use one color of chalk to show what you do to the numerator and another color to sh ow what you do to the denominator.6. regulate another example on the board and ask a volunteer to help write an equivalent fraction.7.Point out that the number we use to multiply can be any number, as long as what you do to the top, you do to the bottom.8.Go over multiple examples together and assign textbook examples. Go over various answers.9.Call students up to the board to show some answers.10. Go on to show equivalent fractions using division.11.Explain that the first spirit in finding equivalent fraction using division is to find the factors of both the numerator and denominator.12.Circle the common factor and divide both the numerator and denominator by the very(prenominal) number.because what you do to the top, you must do to the bottom.
