WGU D658- Planning Instructional Strategies for
Meaningful Learning – Lesson Plan 2026 Western
Governors University
This lesson plan focuses on teaching 5th-grade students how to
multiply mixed fractions. It outlines objectives, assessments, and
instructional strategies, emphasizing the use of visual models and
equations to solve real-world problems involving fractions. The
plan includes guided practice and formative assessments to support
student learning.

General Information
Lesson Title: Multiplying Mixed Fractions
Subject(s): Mathematics
Grade/Level/Setting: 5th grade classroom
Standards and Objectives
State/National Academic Standard(s):
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.5.NF.B.6: Solve real world problems involving multiplication of fractions and
mixed numbers, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem.
Learning Objective(s):
Students will be able to solve real-world word problems that require multiplying a fraction by a
mixed number by using visual fraction models or equations, and will correctly compute and justify
their answers in 3 out of 4 problems (75% accuracy) without a calculator during in-class
assessment.
Assessment
Summative
A 4- problem exit ticket (mixed word problems). Students must set up a visual model or write an
equation for each problem and compute the product. Mastery = at least 3 of 4 problems correct,
with work shown (visual model or equation) for each.
