This lesson plan requires the use of Geoboards. After completing this lesson, students will be able to find the fractional parts of a whole, represent fractions spatially, add fractions, and find the areas of irregular shapes. There is no doubt that some groups will make this lesson harder than others. When I had my girlfriend complete the lesson she broke the "peanut brittle" into some very complicated shapes. As a result, it was very challenging for her to complete the lesson. However, after an extensive amount of time, she was able to do it. Thus, my advice for those of you who want to use this lesson in the classroom is to allow for some groups to take longer than others.
