Digital Audio Project on Subtracting Fractions
Lesson-My was for fifth graders on subtracting fractions.
Plan- My digital storyboard focused on subtracting fractions. First, a student was given a problem with the same denominator and had to explain using words and/or pictures how to solve the problem. Next, the problem got a bit more difficult. My student was given a problem with unlike denominators and had to explain how to solve that type of problem. Making it even harder, she was given mixed fractions to subtract and had to explain how she had to borrow from the whole number in order to subtract the fractions. Lastly, she created a real life story problem subtracting fractions with unlike denominators. A variety of math games were used throughout these lessons.
Reference to Learning Theory- Social Constructivism was used in this storyboard, giving students less and less support as they solve a variety of subtraction problems that will get more difficult.
Twist- I gave the student much more support initially to help her explain how to subtract fractions. By the end, little support was given and my student learned from their own mistakes and explained them to me.
