These are the lesson plans for Unit 8 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.
Eight lesson plans, one for each lesson of a 5th grade unit on multiplying 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, maker 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. Paper shared out and folded carries the first lessons: circles cut to share, tape diagrams, and squares folded one way and then the other, so students see the overlap that is the product before they use the rule. The exit tickets, pre-check, review and unit test are separate packs, made for these lessons, and the plans use other numbers than they do.
Teaching at home? Use the warm up and the "Try it together" step as a short lesson with paper to fold, a recipe and measuring cups, and the "Words to use" as the way to talk about it. The mistakes to watch for are the ones most children make.
