Math Instruction: The teacher will begin by having students watch a Study Jams video on Fractions Throughout the day students will have the opportunity to complete the formative assessment on Study Jams. The student will show their teacher their score at the end of the assessment. The teacher will record the data to support instruction. The teacher will give students models and pictures as a review of fractions. The teacher will handout white boards for student to use to show their understanding of fractions. Students will use the cards from the food chain to complete the following activity. After the review, students will be given a strip of paper they will fold the strip of paper into thirds. On one side of the paper students will label each section with the following labels producers, consumers, decomposers. On the other side of the paper students will label each section with the following labels herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores. In each of the labeled sections, students will write a fraction based on their classifications on each side of the paper. Differentiation Strategies to meet diverse learner needs: SCIENCE- The reading material that I would choose for this lesson would be leveled for the different reading groups in my classroom. Students that struggle with the format of a food chain may be given a model to follow for their food chain they are creating. Students may struggle with the concepts of food chains, these students could complete their food chains with the teacher as he or she models the activity. For the formative assessments or reading resources, I would read the assessment aloud for students needing the accommodation. MATH- Some students may not have knowledge of fractions and the activity could be model for the students in a teacher-directed activity. Students can refer to their vocabulary notebook if they need help remembering the meaning of producer, consumer, decomposer, herbivore, carnivore, or omnivore. For the formative assessments or other reading resources, I would read the assessment aloud for students needing the accommodation.
