Lesson # 4
Grade Level 4th grade
Instructional Model
Sheltered ESOL Model (Math)
1st Semester/2nd Quarter
Lesson Title: Manipulating Recipes using Fractions

STANDARDS & REQUIREMENTS
MCC4.NF.3 Understand a fraction a/b with a > 1 as a sum of fractions 1/b.
CCGPS or GPS
a. Understand addition and subtraction of fractions as joining and separating parts
Standard(s)
referring to the same whole.
c. Add and subtract mixed numbers with like denominators, e.g., by replacing each
mixed number with an equivalent fraction, and/or by using properties of operations and
the relationship between addition and subtraction.
d. Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring to
the same whole and having like denominators, e.g., by using visual fraction models and
equations to represent the problem
MCC4.NF.4 Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a

fraction by a whole number.
a. Understand a fraction a/b as a multiple of 1/b. For example, use a visual fraction
model to represent 5/4 as the product 5 . (1/4), recording the conclusion by the equation
5/4 = 5 . (1/4).
b. Understand a multiple of a/b as a multiple of 1/b, and use this understanding to
multiply a fraction by a whole number.

Materials
The activities and assignments in this lesson will be modified according to the English
Language Proficiency level of the students based on the WIDA standards. Level 1
students will be paired with at least one level 3 student during collaborative learning.
Students will have access to bilingual word-to-word dictionaries, be given a
substantial amount of wait time when required to provide a verbal response, and
instructions will be repeated and explicitly explained in different ways. Also, the
instructor will enunciate words clearly and slowly.
This lesson will focus on familiarizing students with basic mathematical equations with
fractions using the following academic vocabulary words and symbols throughout the
lesson: fraction, whole, part, multiply, divide, double, sum, solve, denominator,
numerator, +, -, x, /, =
Students will be able to demonstrate their understanding of addition, subtraction,

multiplication and division of fractions using equations and visuals.
The following vocabulary will be used during this lesson: total, multiply, double,
divide, whole, part, denominator, numerator, lowest common denominator, improper
fractions, mixed fractions, and equation
Promethean Board, pencils, computer for each student with Internet access and printer,
handouts (resource page), poster board for each student, magazines, stickers, glue,
markers, other arts and craft materials
Technology
Students will need access to a computer with the Internet for this lesson. Students will
navigate specified websites to locate pictures and other resources for their poster boards.
LESSON PROCEDURE
Enduring
Fractions can be represented visually and in written form.
Understanding
Essential Question(s)
How do we add, subtract, multiply and divide fractions?
How do we double the servings for a recipe?
How do we make half of the serving size for a recipe?
How do we apply our understanding of fractions in everyday life?
Lesson Objectives:
Content objective &
Language objective
Students will be able to demonstrate their understanding of addition, subtraction,

multiplication and division of fractions by doubling the serving size and decreasing the
serving size of a recipe. Students will demonstrate their understanding by producing and
solving mathematical equations in written form and create poster boards to present recipes
and equations.
Assessment Link
The planned assessments provide students with an opportunity to demonstrate their

understanding of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of fractions in
engaging ways that teaches skills that can be applied beyond the classroom. Also, the
activities afford students the opportunity to answer the essential questions by doing,
learn how to locate recipes online and manipulate recipes by applying their knowledge
of fractions.
Introduction to Lesson
Specify:
Body of Lesson
Specify:
To introduce the lesson the instructor will hand back the Math Presentation handouts
students turned in the previous class and address and discuss any common mistakes.
The instructor will advise students that they will use that same information for todays
lesson.
The introduction should only take 5 minutes.
Teacher Activities
The instructor will address any common mistakes that students made on the handout that
was handed back and provide individual feedback if needed.
Student Activities
Each student will have an opportunity to express any concerns one-on-one with the
instructor and he or she checks their progress throughout the class period.
*Assessment
Students will be formatively assessed on their ability to correct any mistakes they may
have had on the returned handout.
During the work period, students will use recipe and mathematical equations from the
previous day to create a poster board to present their recipe in an interesting way.
Students will be able to use the Internet to search for pictures and use any other
resources in the classroom.
The Work Period/Body of Lesson should take about 40 minutes.
Closure
Teacher Activities
The instructor will provide students with the rubric and thoroughly explain the
requirements of the assignment, review any vocabulary students are not familiar with,
provide language support and provide a few examples of the project for students to model.
Student Activities
Students will work individually to create poster boards.
*Assessment
Students will be formatively assessed on their ability to follow directions and the rubric to
create a poster board that is neat, creative, displays all of the information required
including the name of the recipe, ingredients, mathematical equations used to manipulate
the recipe and correct grammar usage/vocabulary.
During the closing each individual student will hand in his or her completed work as an
exit ticket.
The closure should take 5 minutes to complete.
Teacher Activities
The instructor will collect completed work as students exit the class.
Specify:
Student Activities
Students will have to turn in assignment as their exit ticket.
*Assessment
Students will be formatively assessed on their ability to follow rubric/directions to create
poster board that neat, creative, displays all of the information required including the name
of the recipe, ingredients, mathematical equation to double and half recipe and correct
grammar usage.
*ASSESSMENT
Evaluation
At the end of the lesson, students should be able to answer the essential questions,
identify parts of a fraction and apply their knowledge of fractions in order to manipulate
a recipe and locate a recipe using the Internet. Throughout the lesson students will be
assessed formatively through discussions, spoken and written responses and teacher
observations.
