Content: This is for third grade: Standard 1; objective 2; a Identify the denominator of a fraction as the number of equal parts of the unit whole and the numerator of a fraction as the number of equal parts being considered.
Pedagogy: For this lesson, as the teacher I would explicitly teach the mathematics concepts in a large group activity so the students will be exposed. I will be having a few activities that can be done to help assess the students as we are working through the large activity to assess the different levels of students.
Technology: There is an online activity that helps students learn about their fractions, numerators and denominators. This activity is called "Fishy Fractions" I found it on the website Internet4Classrooms. Depending on the level of the students there are more challenging activities that can be done with fractions; so that each student can work on their own level. With this website you have to make a screenname (which might not be ideal). But it keeps track of the high scores- so that could be fun if a member of your classroom was a high scorer. After the students finish with using the technologies there are several different ways in which we can use objects in the classroom to make sure the students understand the concepts about fractions that were taught.
Literacy Technology
Content: Language Arts: Standard 3; objective 3; b. Segment words into onset and rime (e.g., sat, /s/.../a/.../t/).
Pedagogy: I will explicitly teach this essential reading knowledge by having a few small group activities where the students will be able to experiment with the different words; by saying them out loud- this will allow them to better understand the concepts that are being taught in the lesson.
Technology: For this activity there is a great website that is specifically for learning hot to blend words together. The main character is a blender and the students will help him pick the different onsets and rimes that go together. The blender will then tell the student if they are correct or not. This game seems like a very fun way for students to experiment with work blending along with different technologies.
I enjoyed your onset and rime activity. That would really help to teach the concept because just teaching it orally can be difficult. Thanks for your ideas!
ReplyDeleteI like your game choices!! The characters are awesome.
