|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction | 5 min | Introduce the concept of fractions using visuals (fraction circles) and engage the class with a brief discussion about fractions in real-life contexts. |
| 2 | Equivalent Fractions | 10 min | Explain equivalent fractions. Demonstrate using manipulatives. Have students work in pairs to create equivalent fractions on their worksheets. |
| 3 | Simplifying Fractions | 5 min | Introduce the concept of simplifying fractions. Provide examples and guide students through simplifying a few fractions together on the whiteboard. |
| 4 | Adding/Subtracting Fractions | 5 min | Teach students how to add and subtract fractions with like denominators. Use examples on the board and let students practice on worksheets. |
| 5 | Review and Questions | 5 min | Summarise the lesson’s key points. Allow students to ask questions for clarification. Distribute homework handouts for practicing fractions. |
Students will complete a worksheet with a mix of problems involving equivalent fractions, simplifying fractions, and adding/subtracting fractions. The homework will be collected for review without presentations in front of the class.
Formative assessment through observation during activities and reviewing completed worksheets for understanding and accuracy.
Post-lesson reflection will include evaluating student engagement during group work and effectiveness in understanding the material based on homework completion and accuracy. Adjustments will be made for future lessons based on student needs.
