This Simplifying Fractions Activity lesson plan also includes:

Warm-up pupils' fraction muscles with a four-question quiz, then delve into a learning game designed to reinforce the concept of simplifying fractions. Based on the "I do, We do, You do" method of teaching, the instructional activity directly exhibits how to decompose numbers; then, it guides scholars through the same process using a different fraction; and finally, observe what they learned while they play a game. The instructional activity's learning game requires learners to match fractions to their decomposed and simplified form.
