Observation Report MATH 3226

Lesson 1 Observation
Objective: I will find equivalent fractions & percent.

The students start the Block out by writing the objective (Math & Science). The students
are asked to take out their homework the teacher goes over the homework together with
the class (one by one). Ask questions like Who can tell me what the equivalent fraction
is?, What else?, What is the answer?, and What is the fraction?. After each
question, the teacher ask Raise your hand if you got it right then jots down the number
then Raise your hand if you got it wrong?.

Equivalent fractions written on a poster on the wall. Ask the students who sees itwait
for them to raise their hands and point out a student and have them answer the question.

Have the students draw equivalent fraction bar (60) for finding of 60.

Give the kids shine (a hand signal used instead of clapping to encourage the kids) if
they volunteer to answer and get it correct.

Write value for each fraction (15, 15, 15, 15) circle 3/4th in the fraction table. Ask for the
value of the 3.

Put away Homework.

Closed Assessment (show example questions) write down the question 18x54. Give them
30 seconds to estimate the answer by making a mind movie. Write down after 30 secs
of mentally thinking about it. Ask the students about what they thought & asked the
student (20x50). Ask for different strategies the students couldnt use.

Present another example using a wild card (one of the digits will be a surprise digit,
which can be changed) 96x99 last 9 was the wild card.

50/100ask the kids another example of

Work with group for 1 min to unite as many fractions as possible.

Hear from the kids group by group then go over examples.

Move on to a close to a half fractionprovide examples & ask the kdis whether they are
close to half.

Move on to equivalent fractions.

Multiply & divide What you do to the top you do to the bottom What you do to the
bottom you do to the top. Have the students stand up and motion the phrase (little
dance).

Go over another example and draw it in a circle.

Guest speaker goes over everyday uses of fractions and decimals (gas prices, cash
register, slices of food etc.)

Move to the activity from yesterday (those who are done can use dreambox on the ipads).

Copy down fractions equivalent & fill in all the other fractions. Go over the problems.

Take out agenda & write down their homework in the agenda.

Take out Math notebooks go back to fractions of the whole numbers.

Give them an assessment & do the first one together and let the students finish the
assessment.
