| 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} |

Introduction to Basic Fractions
Grade 2-3
Mathematics
30 minutes
20 Students
This lesson aligns with the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, specifically focusing on identifying, representing, and comparing fractions.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length (minutes) | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to Fractions | 5 | Introduce the concept of fractions using everyday examples (e.g., pizza, pie). Discuss the vocabulary associated with fractions (numerator, denominator). |
| 2 | Hands-On Activity | 10 | Distribute fraction circles or shape cutouts. Guide students to create their own fractions by separating shapes into equal parts. Walk around to assist and observe. |
| 3 | Visual Comparison | 7 | Use visual aids to compare fractions. Ask students to identify which fractions are larger or smaller using their created fractions. Facilitate a discussion about why one fraction is greater than another. |
| 4 | Guided Practice | 5 | Hand out worksheets where students will practice identifying and comparing fractions. Provide support as needed. |
| 5 | Homework Explanation & Wrap-Up | 3 | Explain the homework assignment without requiring students to present their work. Review what will be included in the homework (e.g., additional fraction comparison problems). Summarize the lesson's key points. |
Students will complete a worksheet on fraction comparisons and create a simple visual representation of two different fractions (draw an example with shapes).
