E P R O D U C I B L E  \nGrade 5 Vocabulary Lesson on Fractions  \nIt is vital that teachers observe and investigate how students make sense of mathematical concepts, beginning from the preservice level (McCormick, 2015) . This includes observing students in given tasks and asking guided questions. Too often, students who are unable to fluently read and interpret the mathematics vocabulary are turned off and tuned out. The topic of fractions has associated words, but more importantly, these words represent concepts. In the following lesson, a fifth-grade teacher engages students in meaningful applications of fraction vocabulary and associated concepts.  \nIdentify Knowledge  \nThe teacher asks students to circle the numerators and denominators in fractions to assess their prior knowledge. Then, students complete the tasks and answer the guided questions shown in figure 1.  \n\n| Word Identification, Concepts, and Vocabulary Skills | Tasks and Guided Questions |\n| --- | --- |\n| Word Matching | Match the words to representations by dividing, shading, and labeling fraction circles. Indicate halves, thirds, fourths, fifths, sixths, and eighths.\u003Cbr>Use self-created fraction circles made from subdividing paper plates, along with resources from websites such as Math-Aids’“Fractions Worksheets”([www.math-aids.com/Fractions](www.math-aids.com/Fractions)) . |\n| Definitions | Provide two examples of fractions with like denominators and unlike denominators. |\n| Word Categorization | Classify these numbers and fractions under the headings of mixed numbers or improper fractions:\u003Cbr>¹¼, 2 ¹⁄³ , ³²⁄􀴽 , 5 ³⁄􀵁, ³􀴾⁄􀴿 |\n| Syllables | Identify the number and types of syllables in these words: numerator, denominator, improper, equivalent. Tell what fraction of each word is a vowel and what fraction of each word is a consonant. |\n| Sequence | Access the Math Goodies website ([www.mathgoodies.com/lessons/](www.mathgoodies.com/lessons/)[ ](www.mathgoodies.com/lessons/)[fractions/order.html](fractions/order.html)) for visuals, models, charts, examples, and rules for ordering fractions that students can examine online or from a printed worksheet as a whole class, in small groups, or individually. Order the fractions in the online word problems from least to greatest. |\n\npage 1 of 2  \nNavigating the Core Curriculum © 2017 Solution Tree Press • [SolutionTree.com](SolutionTree.com)[ ](SolutionTree.com)[Visit](Visit go.SolutionTree.com/RTI)[ go.SolutionTree.com/RTI](Visit go.SolutionTree.com/RTI) to download this free reproducible.  \nR E P R O D U C I B L E  \n\n| Equivalence | Have students work with a partner to multiply a unit fraction by the same numbers, for example:\u003Cbr>¹⁄³ × ²⁄² , ¹⁄³ × ³⁄³ , ¹⁄³ ×􀴼⁄􀴼 |\n| --- | --- |\n\nFigure 1: Fraction words and questions.  \nIntervene  \nStudents explore fractions with concrete, real-life, and pictorial representations before the teacher offers abstract representations with the symbols alone. Students listen to fraction songs on the MooMooMath (2015) website ([http://bit.ly/2ehz23k](http://bit.ly/2ehz23k)).  \nEnsure Internalization  \nThe teacher suggests ways to help students internalize and deepen their knowledge about fractions. He or she encourages students to:  \nØ Practice fraction terms with online flash cards ([http://bit.ly/2ej82oH](http://bit.ly/2ej82oH))  \nØ Explore handheld and virtual fraction manipulatives and tools using the National Library of Virtual Manipulatives website ([http://nlvm.usu.edu/en/nav/vlibrary.html](http://nlvm.usu.edu/en/nav/vlibrary.html))  \nØ Use the calculator fraction tools  \nReferences  \nMcCormick, K.
