Cuisenaire Rods • Whole Class Lesson • Purple = 1whole unit • What are the fractions described by • Red rod? • White rod? • Light green rod? • Yellow rod?
Question 1: 1/3 + 2/9

Split Students into Groups • Intervention Group • Students got 0-1 correct on Formative Assessment • Teacher works with this group • Remediation Group • Students got 2 correct on Formative Assessment • Must be a paired activity • Accelerated Group • Students got all 3 correct on Formative Assessment • Should be as a group
Group 1 • Teacher provides direct instruction • Back up to re-teach a more basic skill (common denominators instead of uncommon denominators) • Use concrete manipulatives that students can relate to
Group 2 • Students work in pairs to complete activity that readdresses the same skill and content that they were originally taught when they go the whole group instruction • Students will play Basketball Fractions • Completing the sheet together
Group 3 • Look at 5-7 store ads that use percents and convert them to decimals and fractions. • Determine the amount of savings for these ads. • Rewrite the ads using fractions instead and ask 2 adults which is the better deal, the fraction or the percent and why. • Record their responses and be prepared to explain to your teacher.
Considerations… • Any child can be in any “level” group depending on the objective being taught. “EC” or “LEP” or “AIG” makes no difference when fair formative assessment determines grouping. • Classroom management skills
