Lesson Plan & Resources
Lesson Plan Summary:
The lesson plan focuses on teaching 2nd and 3rd-grade students about fractions through the use of pattern blocks to create personal pizzas. Students will learn to divide a whole into equal parts (halves, thirds, fourths, and sixths), identify these fractions, and describe their pizzas using fraction terminology. The lesson includes guided practice, independent work, and adaptations for students with disabilities, English Language Learners (ELLs), and advanced learners. Formative evaluation will assess student understanding through observations and questioning, while summative evaluation is not explicitly defined.
