These are the lesson plans for Unit 9 of 16 in the 5th Grade Math Curriculum: 127 lessons in teaching order, week by week, each with a lesson plan and an exit ticket.
Also for this unit: exit tickets, pre-check, unit review and test. See the whole year
Everything each lesson plan points to, with links. Sheet numbers count worksheets: a color pack prints each sheet again in black and white.
★ Taught in 5th grade in some states.
Eight lesson plans, one for each lesson of the ninth unit of 5th grade, dividing fractions, in teaching order, after an overview page that lays the unit out day by day: a pre-check, the eight lessons, a review and the unit test. Each plan fits on one page. It gives the goal, what to get ready, the words to use, the lesson in five steps with the words to say, questions to ask, common mistakes and what to do about them, and the Animal Math worksheets, tools and quiz for the lesson.
Print the unit, or just the day's page, and teach from it. Each lesson takes about 45 minutes: a 5 minute warm up, 10 minutes of teaching, 10 minutes together, 15 minutes of practice and an exit ticket at the end. Area models, number lines and paper strips come before any rule, so students see why sharing a fraction makes it smaller and dividing by a unit fraction makes a bigger number. The exit tickets, pre-check, review and unit test are separate packs, made for these lessons, and the plans teach with other numbers than they use. Lessons 9.5 to 9.8 are taught in 5th grade in some states only: dividing a fraction by a fraction (Indiana), fractions as decimals and back (Oklahoma, Virginia), comparing and ordering on one number line (Indiana, Oklahoma, Virginia), and percents (Indiana); skip the ones your class does not learn.
Teaching at home? Use the warm up and the "Try it together" step as a short lesson, and the "Words to use" as the way to talk about it. Measuring cups and a scoop, a sandwich cut into equal pieces, folded paper and a handful of pennies show every idea in the unit. The mistakes to watch for are the ones most children make.
