Teacher Candidate
Name:
Grade Level: 5 th Grade
Date: October 1, 2023
Unit/Subject: Number and Operations- Fractions
5. NF. 1
Instructional Plan Title: Number and Operations
Lesson Summary and
Focus:
Students will fluently add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators and
mixed numbers by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions (KSDE,
2017).
Classroom and Student
Factors/Grouping:
ELL Students: Arturo, Diana, Eduardo, and Fatma.
IEPs/504s: Fredick, Ines, Kent, Wayne, and Wendell..
Extra: Maria and Fatma are both gifted.
I want to make sure that all of these students get extra support, additional time if
needed. Before any of these students get pulled I’d like to make sure that during
tier 1 they are getting everything needed to be successful. For those students that
only get tier 2 support, I’d like to make sure that they get put in a small group
where they get classroom support.
National/State Learning
Standards:
5.
“Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed
numbers) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as
to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators
(KSDE, 2017).”
LESSON PLAN TEMPLATE
5.NF.
“Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring
to the same whole, including cases of unlike denominators, (e., by using visual
fraction models or equations to represent the problem.) (KSDE, 2017).”
Specific Learning
Target(s)/Objectives:
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to successfully add and subtract
fractions with unlike denominators and mixed numbers with 80% accuracy.
Academic Language Unlike Fractions: fractions with different denominators
Like Fractions: fractions with same denominators
Denominators: the bottom number of a fraction
Numerators: the top number of a fraction
Renaming: when borrowing from a whole number you change one whole to be
represented by a fraction
Compare: decide which fraction is <, >, or =
Benchmark Fractions: when rounding a fraction, you can use 0, ½, or 1
Unlike other lessons, I would still like to have a word wall. But I will print out
the vocabulary worksheet and then have it in students’ math journals. I will also
provide foldable, interactive material so that students can glue in their journals
to have and able to see how it works. Students that need a little extra help will
get a smaller taped on their desk.
Resources, Materials,
Equipment, and
Technology:
Whole group/Small Group: Number World/MyMath Workbook Pages 124-
(random numbers), students Math notebook, whiteboards, additional worksheet,
iPads
Small Group Rotations: Whiteboard and whiteboard markers (for meet the
teacher), pencil, iPads for IXL learning, Freckle Math, OR SplashLearn,
Additional math worksheets.
For my lower students/students who want extra help: Multiplication fractions
because students need to know basic multiplication facts.
For Gifted Students: Gifted students will get their own project that is a grade
level above them with a mix of what we’re working on.
Section 2: Instructional Planning
Anticipatory Set
I will use MyMath book to show students and help them understand the whole
assignment.
I will have a blank anchor chart that will be up so that everyone can see it and how we
add and subtract fractions.
During this time too I will be showing students that on IXL they will have an
Time
Needed
20 Min
LESSON PLAN TEMPLATE
Multiple Means of Expression
English language learners (ELL): In order to see if students understand, they will be able
to use manipulatives in order to show me if they understand.
Students with special needs: Similar to ELL students they will also be allowed to use
manipulatives.
Students with gifted abilities: Still work on their solo projects, they will be able to be to
do this assignment on their iPad.
Time
Needed
45 Min -
50 Min
Extension Activity and/or Homework
Students who haven’t finished their worksheet/MyMath pages are homework. For my ELL and
SPEDs student don’t have homework but on the weekly newsletter there will be additional help
on there so that parents can print our extra worksheet. With these, if they turn them in can get
extra credit.

Reflection:
I think instructional strategies are important because the students are able to use them in order to
learn and engage. And I believe that I have a few throughout my lesson plans. The first strategy that I
used was show and tell new concepts. I want to make sure that I show students how it works, for example
using the anchor chart is all to show students exactly what we’re learning about. Then in small groups go
more in depth exactly what we’re learning and we’re able to do some example problems togethers. The
second strategy I have is for my gifted students. For my gifted students they are able to do a math based
solo project, this was something my mentor teacher did last year. It’s just a way to challenge students who
are above grade level while mixing grade level math. It’s just to see what students understand and what

they don’t understand with their own project. This would replace their homework, but I like this idea
because students are able to show their creativity through a series of grade-level projects. And the third
and final strategy is having students and allowing students to engage with one-another by allowing
students to do a tutor/study buddy. This strategy is where students can talk to each other and help each
other out and this shows me what students are understanding and what they are struggling with.
