Free 6Th Grade Udl Math Lesson Lesson Plan for 6th Grade Students

Topic: Using UDL Strategies to Understand and Solve a Math Problem with Standard RP 6.A.3

Objectives & Outcomes

• Students will understand the concept of common core state standard RP 6.A.3, using UDL strategies, and will be able to use this understanding to solve a math problem.

Materials

• A math problem that includes standard RP 6.A.3 for students to solve
• Pictures or other visual aids to help students understand the concept of common core state standard RP 6.A.3

Warm-up

• Review the concept of fractions with the class by showing a number line and asking students to identify fractions on the number line.
• Ask students to give examples of fractions they know, such as halves, fourths, and thirds.

Direct Instruction

• Introduce the concept of reducing fractions by finding common denominators.
• Show examples of how to find common denominators, such as by adding or subtracting to find a number that is divisible by both fractions.
• Explain the importance of finding a common denominator in reducing fractions, as it allows us to find a common fraction that is equivalent to the original fractions.

Guided Practice

• Demonstrate how to reduce a fraction to its lowest terms by finding a common denominator and applying the rule for reducing fractions.
• Have students work in pairs to practice reducing fractions to their lowest terms.
• Check for understanding by asking students to explain how they reduced the fraction.
• Monitor and assist as needed.

Independent Practice

• For the independent practice portion of the lesson, have students work on a task that requires them to use their understanding of reducing fractions to their lowest terms.
• One option is to have students work in pairs to create a poster illustrating the steps for reducing fractions to their lowest terms.
• Another option is to have students work in groups to create a short oral presentation on reducing fractions to their lowest terms, including an example and the steps for doing so.
• Provide support and guidance as needed.

Closure

• Review the key concepts and understandings from the lesson, including the importance of reducing fractions to their lowest terms, and the process for doing so.
• Ask students to share something they found interesting or surprising about the topic.

Assessment

• Observe students during the independent practice activity and provide feedback on their ability to reduce fractions to their lowest terms.
• Collect and review the class results from the independent practice activity to assess understanding of the concept.
• Administer a short quiz to assess understanding of the concept.
