3. Can you share an instance where you had to compare fractions in real life? What was that experience like?

4. Why is it valuable to know which fraction represents a larger quantity in different scenarios?

5. Did anyone come across an interesting fact about fractions that you'd like to share?

Development

Duration: 60 to 70 minutes

This stage aims to apply students' prior knowledge of fractions in contemporary contexts, utilizing digital tools. It helps solidify their understanding of the topic, promotes teamwork, and makes learning dynamic and relevant to their daily lives.

Activity Suggestions

Activity Recommendations

Activity 1 - 📊 Influencer Ranking

> Duration: 60 to 70 minutes

- Goal: Enhance the ability to compare and order fractions in a real-world context, promoting teamwork and digital literacy.

- Deskripsi Activity: In this activity, students will enact a digital marketing campaign where they analyze data from social media influencers and rank them based on engagement. They will use fractions to compare metrics like likes, shares, and comments across various posts.

- Instructions:

• Split the students into groups of no more than 5.

• Each group should select five different digital influencers (from any social media platform).

• Groups will gather quantitative data from the last three posts of their selected influencers, focusing on likes, comments, and shares.

• Students must formulate fractions based on the collected data and compare them to find which influencers have higher engagement rates.

• Employ tools like Google Sheets to organize and visualize the data in a more comprehensible format.

• Each group should create a digital presentation (using slides or other software) that showcases their analysis results and justifies their influencer rankings based on the fractions calculated.

Activity 2 - 🍕 The Pizza Slice Challenge

> Duration: 60 to 70 minutes

- Goal: Practice comparing and ordering fractions in familiar situations, fostering teamwork and the utilization of tech tools.

- Deskripsi Activity: Participants will engage in a challenge to solve a set of problems involving fractions linked to pizza orders made via an app. The task includes comparing various fractions of pizza and resolving practical situations, like splitting the bill among friends.

- Instructions:

• Organize students into groups of up to 5 members.

• Distribute a list of different pizza orders that demonstrate the fractions representing the slices each person consumed.

• Students will use calculation apps or digital spreadsheets to address practical issues such as: 'If a group of 8 ordered 3 whole pizzas and each ate 1/4 of a pizza, how many slices are left?' or 'How do we split the bill fairly, considering some ate more than others?'

• Each group should document their solutions and articulate the reasoning behind their answers.

• Finally, groups will share their solutions with the class and discuss their varied approaches.

Activity 3 - 🎮 Gamifying Fractions: Intergalactic Mission

> Duration: 60 to 70 minutes

- Goal: Make learning about fractions enjoyable and interactive through gamification, promoting teamwork and critical thinking.

- Deskripsi Activity: Students will take on a series of intergalactic missions in an engaging digital game that requires them to compare and order fractions. Completing each mission will unlock advanced challenges, demanding more sophisticated skills.

- Instructions:

• Divide the students into groups of up to 5.

• Utilize a gamification platform (like Kahoot! or similar) to create an interactive game focusing on fractions.

• Prepare missions that involve fraction comparisons and ordering, such as 'Which is larger? 3/4 or 2/3?' or 'Arrange planets based on resources: 1/2, 3/5, 4/7.'

• Students need to collaborate to answer questions and finish missions while documenting their answers and justifications.

• Encourage healthy competition by rewarding the groups that complete missions swiftly and accurately.

• Conclude by discussing the answers to the missions with the entire class, reviewing key concepts and addressing any doubts.
