Least Common Denominator unit contains 140 pages and 44 google slides designed for students with autism and special learning needs. This unit looks at ways to find a common denominator, including the least common denominator and finding the multiples of denominators.

 

The book walks through the steps for determining the multiples of two fractions and then using that information to find the least common denominator.

 

There are power cards that outline the steps when finding a common denominator. One card shows how to use multiples to find the least common denominator, and one card has students multiple the two denominators together. There is also an example present for students to refer to.

 

There are 3 worksheet sets to help students work through the steps. The worksheets provide less and less support (fewer answers pre-filled in) as students go through them.

  • One set (2 worksheets) has students circle the LCD when the multiples are already figured out for them
  • One set (7 worksheets) has students figuring out the multiples themselves
  • One set (10 worksheets) has students finding the multiples and then using that information to transform the two fractions into a set with common denominators

 

There are practice problems for the teacher to use in various suggested group activities. One of these is playing a game of bingo. There are 20 bingo cards included with suggestions for 10 different ways to use them. These group activities are a great way to add engagement and also pull in some of those social and communication IEP goals while also doing math!!

 

THIS UNIT DOES NOT COVER ADDING OR SUBTRACTING FRACTIONS. JUST FINDING COMMON DENOMINATORS. FOR A UNIT ON ADDING FRACTIONS, CLICK BELOW.

Much of what I have learned about curriculum development is incorporated into these units. For example, do not be afraid of repetition. It is critical that students with significant disabilities get to experience material over several days to be able to fully assimilate what is being taught. Also, adding visual supports to your printables and class activities helps students be able to pay more attention to the content you are presenting rather than the mechanics of what is expected. Finally, ask questions. Good questions!! Regardless of the material, if we can ask students good questions it will push them to think more deeply than before.

 

As always please take a moment to leave feedback or post any questions you may have.
