Lesson Plan - Grade 4 - Mixed Numbers
Lesson Plan - Grade 4 - Mixed Numbers
I am working on: My modelling and explaining strategy to help the student understand.
Lesson Focus
Lesson Outcomes
Last class student learn how to subtract two mixed numbers. And last week the students learn how to
add two fractions together.
Critical thinking
Key vocabulary
Decompose, Mixed number, Sum (Adding), Associative property, Like fraction, equivalent, improper
fraction
Technology problem I will use the whiteboard to explain and model the
Time management outcome for the student.

Introduction (15)
& Time
Teacher will review for the student what they learn about mixed number and she will
solve some equation with them as an example.
T: last class we learn how to subtract mixed numbers. So if I have this equation how
can tell me how we solve it?
Equation:
Students participate with the teacher.
Teacher will ask the student question while they are showing her the solution.
After that the teacher will start to model for the student how they can add mixed
numbers together.
T: adding mixed number is same as subtracting mixed number but you have to add
instead of subtract. So this is example for adding mixed numbers.
Example:
(Equation)
First we will work with each mixed number alone, we will write it and we will
decompose it to whole numbers and unit fraction.
Second step, we will group the wholes and the fraction together and we call
this step: (Associative Property).
Third step, we will add the wholes together and the like fraction together.
Final step, we will simplify the improper fraction to mixed number again.
T: Let us make one altogether. If we have this equation what we have to do to solve
this equation.
Students participate with the teacher.

Main activities (15 min)
& Time
Teacher will give each group the activity that they have to do and she will show them
how to do it.
For the master group (High ability)
They will have to play (Bingo) game. They will solve equations to find the answer and
cruse full line from the game table.
T: first group you will be compete to gather to win the Bingo game. First you have to
take one of the equations and you will solve it. When you will find the answer you will
cruse it from the table.
The teacher will show them one example.
The winner will get a gift from the teacher and her name will be on the star of the day

If the student learns the outcome very fast and she finish the activity earlier I will give her the worksheet
to solve it and practice more.
I make each activity different to fit the student ability and level.

& Time Plenary/Conclusion (5 min)
The teacher will make short review for the student about the vocabulary word and
the solving steps that they learn today. She will solve one last equation with them on
the board.
