This number sense lesson focuses on reducing fractions. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students find the factors of the numerator and denominator. Then, they identify the greatest common factor (GCF) and write it down. Finally, they reduce the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by the GCF and interpreting the reduced fraction. In addition to the lesson, there are five pages of Independent Practice and Periodic Reviews with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items and 10 flashcards for reduced fractions.
