Introduction

This Grade 6 Mathematics lesson plan on “Reducing Fractions” helps teachers teach students to simplify fractions by dividing numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, making calculations easier and fractions easier to work with.

Main material

Lesson objective: to teach students to reduce fractions, find equivalent fractions, and apply this in calculations.

Expected outcomes:

students understand how to simplify fractions by dividing numerator and denominator by a common divisor;
can find the greatest common divisor of numerator and denominator;
simplify fractions to their lowest terms;
use reduced fractions in problem-solving and operations.

Lesson structure:

Organization
Greeting.
Prior knowledge
Review numerator, denominator, fundamental property of fractions, GCD.
New topic
Reducing a fraction: divide numerator and denominator by their common divisor
Examples:
8/12 = 2/3
15/20 = 3/4
Practice
Reduce 18/24, 21/35, 12/16
Find several equivalent fractions for 6/9
