Material / Resources

Writing board, chalk/marker, duster, paper strips, fraction cards, fraction strips, box

Introduction

  • Show different kinds of diagrams to the class.
  • Ask them to tell the fraction of each diagram.
  • Write the fraction on the board, as;      2,   3,   1,   5,   7,   3

                                                                       4    3    2    4   5     6

Approach

Group work, discussion, demonstration, activities

  • Now take three strips and discuss how to share equally among two students.
  • By making half of three strips each students will get three halves.
  • Ask them to write it mathematically on the board.
  • Make student realize that in first situation each student got less than a whole stripe but in second case each student gets more than a whole stripe.
  • Discuss ½ and 3/2 fractions, highlight values of numerator and denominator in both cases.


Activity 2

  • Write different proper and improper fractions on the paper strips.
  • Put them in a box and give this resource to students in groups.

  • Each student will get three turn.
  • Winner will be appreciated with a gift.

 

Sum up / Conclusion

  • Sum up the lesson by asking following questions, as;

  1. What is the difference between proper and improper fraction?

  • Ask any two examples of proper and improper fraction.

Assessment

  • Give some fractions to students and ask them to separate proper fractions and improper fraction.
  • Ask students to complete the sheet by writing fraction, and also circle improper fractions.

  • Teacher is also required to involve the students in solving the problems given in the exercise at the end of unit / chapter.

Follow up

  • Ask students to write 10 examples of proper and improper fractions in their notebooks.
  • Ask students to show any two proper and improper fraction through diagram.
