Fractions Grade 4 Lesson Plan - Tiny Miny Math

Didactic Game

There is nothing better than learning while playing. Here comes our didactic game.

This didactic game is targeting grade 4 students in order to assess their knowledge in an amusing way regarding decimals. This lesson is included in the Lebanese curriculum and I teach it to my students as a unit. In other words, “decimals” is a unit divided into 6 lessons covered in two weeks, followed by a test wrapping all the unit. The game should be played after covering the whole unit (6 lessons) and before doing the test.

This game cannot be played individually; it should be done through groups while the teacher is simply a facilitator. His/her job is to divide the students among five groups. It’s advised to have 5 students in each group since the game contains 5 levels and all groups will go through them.

Some questions include direct feedback while others not. That’s why the teacher should be assessing students work and marking grades for each group. In order to have a winner at the end of the game.
Here is a demo about the game.

Polygons

Polygons is a lesson divided into different branches. To master this lesson, students should acknowledge the order of the polygons. A map is done to serve this objective.

The Number One

For me, relating math into real life is essential, and it gives us as educators the opportunity to enhance the process of delivering our message.

One of the biggest dilemma’s that students fight for on a daily basis is sharing. Sharing is demonstrated in different life situations such as: “he took the bigger half, you gave her more pieces than me, the table is not being shared equally among us” and more and more.

For this reason, the following activity is about fractions. The activity is done using Zaption: students will watch a movie and answer questions throughout the video.

Note that this lesson is included in the Lebanese curriculum and covered in grade 3.
