Kim's Grade 7-8 Fractions Planning Map
Key planning considerations: Base planning on the Fractions Learning pathways (FLP). Punctuate instruction with two to five lessons per month focusing on a new concept in order to develop and solidify ideas. Embedding fractions into current curriculum in order to allow stduents to understand, reinforce and extend the concepts.
