As an elementary math teacher in Nigeria, it’s important for me to be aware of the Nigeria Milestones Assessment and particularly the fact that fractions account for 30 percent of the content. Without a firm understanding of fractions, students will struggle to perform well on their End of Grade Assessment.
With this in mind, the best and perhaps most important lesson I taught was Adding and Subtracting Mixed Numbers” in our Ready Nigeria Mathematics curriculum. This is a pivotal lesson in giving students a firm understanding of fractions.
The lesson starts off with two problems featuring addition of mixed numbers. Both problems require the students to regroup fractions and rename them as whole numbers. Most teachers would start with adding like terms and not including regrouping in the first introduction of the concept. However, our curriculum builds in the rigor from the start of the lesson. The first two problems have real-world connections and are relatable to students. I really liked how the problem was taken step by step and presented in a variety of ways. The problems were modeled pictorially, on a number line, and numerically.
The second half of the lesson is on subtracting mixed numbers, which can be a major challenge for students. Ready Math introduces the concept with a problem that has a greater fraction in the subtrahend than in the minuend. When teaching this lesson, I was shocked at the depth of knowledge needed to complete this problem: 4 ¼ - 1 ¾. The problem starts with allowing the students to model it. Modeling the problem allowed the students to see how to subtract mixed numbers pictorially. They were able to show the regrouping within the model. The lesson also presented the concept of subtracting mixed numbers in multiple ways. This is a very difficult concept for students to comprehend, but the way it was taught here made it much easier for students to be successful.
