Full lesson	Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle}

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction	5 min	Briefly introduce the concept of fractions and number bonds. Use examples to illustrate.
2	Explanation of Number Bonds	10 min	Explain how number bonds work with fractions. Show how to decompose fractions using visual aids. Provide several examples.
3	Guided Practice	10 min	Distribute worksheets. Work through a few problems as a class, allowing students to share their strategies on decomposing fractions.
4	Independent Practice	3 min	Allow students to work on additional problems independently, using the number bond method to decompose fractions.
5	Review and Check Understanding	2 min	Ask students to turn in exit tickets with one example of a decomposed fraction and one question they still have.
6	Homework Assignment	0 min	Hand out homework worksheets for additional practice on the topic. Collect homework the next class without presentations.

Homework

Assign a worksheet with problems on decomposing fractions using number bonds, aimed at reinforcing the concepts learned in class. Check the homework in the next class without requiring anyone to present their work.
