Direct Instruction
The learning intention for this lesson was to understand fractions by using the concept of music. I originally planned this as a series of lessons (see extended plan), however due to the time of the year and the knowledge I still required to gain about individual learners, the lesson was more aimed at finding out about how these learners were able to share their learning during collaborative problem solving. The key learning for students to take away from this lesson was how to problem solve collaboratively and how to combine fractions to make new fractions (example, 2/4 or 4/8 is the same as 1/2).
