This document contains a lesson plan for a math block on fractions taught by Ms. Brown. The lesson plan includes the following key components: a bell ringer activity to start class, introducing the essential question and learning objectives, reviewing fraction vocabulary and concepts through examples, guided practice in small groups comparing fractions on a number line, independent student practice through various math games and activities working with fractions, and closing with a reflection on what was learned. Modifications are provided for students with IEPs, including using graphic organizers, number lines, and peer tutors.
