| 1 | Introduction to Fractions | 5 | Briefly explain what fractions are, using visual aids (fraction strips). Introduce the concept of reducing fractions. |
| 2 | Explanation of Reducing Fractions | 5 | Define reducing fractions and explain the importance of simplifying. Show step-by-step how to reduce a fraction using examples. |
| 3 | Guided Practice | 10 | Work through several examples as a class. Ask students to suggest how to simplify given fractions. Use the whiteboard for demonstration. |
| 4 | Independent Practice | 7 | Distribute worksheets with fraction problems for students to simplify independently. Circulate around the room for assistance. |
| 5 | Review and Homework Assignment | 3 | Briefly review the answers of the independent practice. Explain homework: simplifying a set of fractions. Discuss how homework will be checked without presentations. |
Students will complete a worksheet with 10 fraction problems where they need to reduce each fraction to its simplest form. The homework will be collected and checked for understanding, but no student will present their work in front of the class.
