Subject/Grade Topic
Mathematics/ 4th Decomposing Fractions
The big idea(s) or essential question(s)
What does decompose a fraction mean?
Are there different ways to decompose a fraction and are the portions
equivalent? If they are equivalent what makes them equivalent?
State of Idaho and/or common core standards addressed.
4.NF.B. Build fractions from unit fractions by applying and extending previous
understandings of operations on whole numbers.
Objectives
(what the students will be able to do as a result of the lesson)
Be able to identify equivalent fraction.
Be able to demonstrate what decompose means and to decompose fractions.
TSWBAT
The student will be able to identify equivalent fractions.
TSWBAT
The student will be able to demonstrate the meaning of decompose and

illustrate how to decompose a fraction.
Materials and/or technology Needed.
Computer
Slideshow of what decompose means, and how to decompose fractions.
Math Journal
Pencil/ Color Pencils
Worksheet
Activities/procedures (include anticipated time for each)

Introduction/activator: 5minutes
Okay class, please grab your math journals a pencil and color pencils. We are
going to learn how to decompose fractions today. Does anyone know what
decompose means?
Class activities: 45 Minutes Class activities

(what you/students will do) (why you will do them)
Slideshow lesson, students taking Introduce the new concept of

notes in their Math Journal. Lesson will decomposing fractions. To help produce

Class works together as a whole to
demonstrate decomposing fractions Hands on approach to demonstrate
many different equations. Illustrating decomposing fractions to help better
the problems in their Math Journal. understanding.
The lesson will take about 15 minutes.
To evaluate the students understanding

will take them 15 minutes.
Closure/reminders: 5 Minutes
Class what does decompose mean? (to break apart) So, when we decompose a
fraction, it means we break apart the fraction. Often there is more than one way
to decompose a fraction. What is one way to decompose a fraction? (break it
down into equivalent fractions).
Assessment
(how you will know students met the objectives - include rubrics)
Assess the students understanding by asking questions throughout the slide

show lessons.
Asses the students through the group work of decomposing fractions.
Asses the students on their worksheet, to measure how each individual student

Accommodations/differentiation
Teaching the lesson with visual aids to demonstrate for hands on learners.
Accommodation of having visual aids for students who need it during

independent work.
Decrease the number of questions need to answer on worksheet or give extra

time to complete it.
Can add optional bonus questions to extend students understanding of the

concept.
Reflection/evaluation
(after lesson is taught put your reflections here)
I found that I needed to make sure I am taking long enough pauses between
each new part of the concept, to let more children have extra time to think and
absorb the information. Students really connected to the visual aids of the bar
models, and pie fractions in multiple colors to demonstrate the different ways to
decompose fractions. Having the students come and sit on the floor in front of
the board during the time they take notes would be a better choice than sitting
at their desks. That way the students are all working together closely, so I can
better observe the students notes and understanding of the concept.
