Planning notes for this lesson
Prerequisite skills to check: understanding a fraction as equal parts of a whole and as a point on a number line (3.NF.A.1-2); simple equivalent fractions and comparing fractions with the same numerator or denominator (3.NF.A.3); multiplication facts.
Key vocabulary: numerator, denominator, equivalent fraction, benchmark fraction, common denominator.
Warm-up idea: Fold two same-size paper strips into halves and fourths and ask whether 1/2 and 2/4 cover the same length.
Exit ticket idea: Students compare 3/8 and 2/5 with a model or common denominator and justify the comparison with <, > or =.
Always check the AI's plan and answers before you teach.
