Lesson:
Review terms product and factors. Product is the answer to a multiplication problem.
Factors are the numbers multiplied to find a product.
factor × factor = product
Introduce prime and composite numbers. A prime number is a number that has only 2
factors one and itself. A composite number has more than 2 factors. The number “1” is
neither a prime number nor a composite number because it has only 1 factor.
Provide students with a sheet of graph paper and a duplicate of the chart below:

Using the graph paper, have students draw as many rectangles as they can for each of the
numbers on the chart. Each rectangle should have a different shape and be neatly
colored. Make sure students understand that the rectangles and are the same
shape and are just rotated. Tell students that a square is also a rectangle (4-sided figure
with opposite sides equal). Have students record their findings on their charts.
Tell students to save their charts, or collect and store charts. They used in subsequent
lessons.

Discuss completed rectangles and charts. Have students name the prime numbers
through 12. (2, 3, 5, 7, 11) Ask students whether they identified one as prime or
composite. Their response should be “neither.” Ask why. (The number “1” has only
one factor)
Ten Statements
Review the ten statements and have students write yes if they heard it in today’s lesson
and no if they did not. If the answer is no, say: The statement is true, but it was not
heard in today’s lesson.

( , , ) A proper fraction is less than all the parts the whole is divided into. The
3 6 20
value of a proper fraction is always less than one.
When the numerator is equal to or greater than the denominator, the fraction is improper.
An improper fraction is more than the total parts in the whole. The value of an improper
fraction is either equal to one or greater than one. A mixed number is a whole number

Say: We are going to do an activity that calls for you to identify a fraction as P for
proper fraction, I for improper fraction, and M for mixed number. Lay one of the cards
on the table and give the students one to two minutes to write the answer. Turn the card
over and reveal the answer. (As you reveal the answer, say: The answer is……). Then
do this with the rest of the cards until completed.
Have students who have mastered this skill simplify the problem. If the problem cannot
be simplified, have the students write C for complete.

Charts from previous lesson and homework
Warm-up Activity:
1. Instruct students to define prime and composite numbers in their math journals.
2. List the prime numbers between 1 and 12.
Lesson:
Review the terms factors, product, prime, and composite. Have students take out their
charts from the previous lesson and homework. Tell students that they are going to list in
the blank column all the factors for each of the numbers 1 through 25. Have them write
Factors in the empty title box of the chart. Tell students that the factors are to be
separated by commas.
Tell students to write the factors of 2 (1 and 2) separating them using a comma (1,2).
7
Ask students for the factors of 3 (1 and 3) and write them on the chart. Have students
give the factors of 4 (1, 2 and 4). Ask how they will list the factors. (Only once. For
example 2 × 2 = 4. The 2 is listed with the factors only once.)
For larger composite numbers, students may find it easier to pair factors and then list
them in ascending order. For example, when listing the factors of 12 tell students to pair
them 1 × 12,
2 × 6 and 3 × 4. Then they could list them 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12.
Discuss completed charts.

What are Fractions?
A fraction is a number that names part of a whole or part of a group. A fraction has a
numerator which tells how many parts you have and a denominator that tells you how
many equal parts are in the whole.
2
Example: The fraction tells you that two parts of the figure are shaded. The whole
4
figure is divided into four equal parts.
Example 1. Write a fraction for the shaded part.
Step 1. Count the parts in the whole. 3
Step 2. Write 3 as the denominator.

Tell the students they are going to do an activity that calls for them to identify parts of
fractions and use fractions that describe situations. Lay a card on the table and give
enough time for students to write the answer. When each student has had sufficient time
to decide on an answer, reveal the answer by turning the card over and saying: The
answer is... Do this for every card. Store this activity in the envelope.

Lesson:
Explain that a whole can be divided into equal parts, and that each equal part is called a
fraction. Draw the following figures on the board and ask students which figure is
divided into 3 equal parts. (B) Be sure students understand that equal parts means that
the parts are the same size.
A. B C.
Next draw a square on the board and have a student divide it into 4 equal parts. Possible
answers:
, , ,
This activity can be repeated by drawing rectangles and circles and having students
divide those figures into various equal parts on the chalkboard and in their math journals.
On the board, draw the chart with column headings only and have students copy chart in
their journals.
Number of equal parts Fraction name for each part

1 or one-half
2
1 or one third

Next, draw a rectangle with 2 equal parts under the heading Number of equal parts. Ask
students what each part is called. Write “ 1 or one-half” under the heading Fraction
2
name for each part. Have students copy this in their journals. Do the same for fourths,
fifths, sixths and eighths. Squares or circles can also be used.
Explain to students that with the exception of halves and thirds, all other fraction names
end with the letters th or ths.
Parts of a fraction. The top part of a fraction is called the numerator. The bottom part of
the fraction is called the denominator. The line separating the numerator and
denominator is called the fraction bar.
numerator fraction bar

denominator
25
To help students remember which part is which, tell them that the words denominator and
down begin with the letter d. Therefore, the denominator belongs down on the bottom.
Next, explain that the denominator tells how many equal parts are present.
Write 1 , 2 , and 5 on the chalkboard. For each fraction ask: How many equal parts
4 3 7
does it take to make a whole? (4, 3, 7) How many equal parts that you have? (1, 2, 5)
How many more equal parts would you need to make a whole? (3, 1, 2)
Divide students into pairs. Give each pair 10 cubes each of 2 colors. In the absence of
cubes, any counters can be used as long as there are two different colors. Direct students
to take turns making the following trains. Have students make a train using 4 cubes of
one color and 1 cube of the other color. Ask: How many equal parts make up the whole?
(5) What fraction of the whole are the four cubes of one color? ( 4 ) What fraction of the
5
whole is the other cube? ( 1 ) Pull your demo apart and ask: 4 + 1 = ? (1) Have each
5 5 5
student in the pair make a train with 6 cubes of one color and 3 of the other color. Ask
the same questions as before.
Have students make several other trains and answer questions about them.

fashion. If the problem has the same denominator, there is no need to rearrange the
order; but if the denominators are different, it would make sense to write the problem
vertically to find the LCD.
Tell the students that you want them to risk writing the answers to these problems. Lay
one card on a flat surface and give the students one to two minutes to write the answer.
After the students have written the answer, turn the index card over and say: The answer

Lesson:
Review fraction parts: numerator, denominator, fraction bar.
A fraction can show an equal part of a set. A set can be a group of objects, numbers, etc.
Draw the following on the board: . Ask: What part of
the figures are squares? (5 out of 8 figures are squares. Therefore, 5 of the figures are
8
squares.) Draw another set of figures and ask the same question. Ask the class how many
students are in the classroom. Ask a student what fraction of the class he/she is. Ask:
What fraction of the class girls?
What fraction of the class boys? What fraction of the class are the children in row 4?
Have students write the answers and /or questions in their journals. Check that students
understand that in today’s lesson the denominator represents how many objects are in the
set and the numerator represents how many are circled, shaded, etc.
Draw a set of objects on the chalkboard (hearts, squares, etc.) Have a student go to the
chalkboard and shade in a fraction of them. Have another student identify the amount
shaded. Repeat this several times.
In their math journals, have students draw eight squares and shade in 0 to 8 of them and
put a blank beneath them. Next, have students draw 6 triangles and shade in 0 to 6 of
them and put a blank beneath them. Then, have students exchange math journals with a
classmate. Tell them to write the fraction representing the shaded objects for both sets
and return the math journal to its owner. Instruct the owner of each math journal to then
determine if the fraction are correct.

Six-Group Activity
Fractions: Prime Factorization
Materials:

1 pencil
1 envelope (9 ½” x 6 ½”)
Prepare the following index cards using the black marker to write the problems on the
front of the cards. Use the pencil to write the answers on the back of the cards.
25 88 43 96 64
30 85 57 78 45
Answers:
5x5 2 x 2 x 2 x 11 1 x 43 2x2x2x2x2x3 2x2x2x2x2x2

2x3x5 5 x 17 3 x 19 2 x 3 x 13 3x3x5
Have students write the factor tree for each number. Show one card at a time and give
immediate feedback by turning the card over and revealing the answer. Say: The answer
is…
Use this study board to reteach this activity.
Prime Factorization
A prime number has exactly two factors, 1 and the number itself. Example: 13 is a
prime number. It has only 1 and 13 as factors.
A composite number has more than two factors. A composite number may be written as
the product of prime numbers.
45
Example: Find the prime factorization of 70.
70
Step 1. Factor 70. 7 × 10 = 70
7 × 10
Step 2. Factor 10; 7 cannot be factored. 5 × 2 = 10
5× 2
The prime factorization of 70 is 7 × 5 × 2 .
Write the prime numbers in order from least to greatest. Check to see if the product is 70.
2 ×5×7
The numbers 0 and 1 are neither prime nor composite. 0 has an endless number of
factors. 1 has only one factor, itself.
Use these numbers to practice prime factorization with students before you give them the
activity. 25, 44 and 92 (Answers: 5 × 5; 2 × 2 × 11; 2 × 2 × 23 )
Tell the students that they are going to do an activity on finding the prime factorization of
a number. When you lay a card on the table, have the students write the prime
factorization of that number. After they have finished, turn the index card over and
reveal the answer, saying: The answer is … …. Store this activity in the envelope.
