| Step Number | Step Title | Length | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to Fractions | 5 minutes | Introduce the concept of fractions using simple language and examples (e.g. “half a pizza”). Use visuals to engage students. |
| 2 | Hands-on Activity | 10 minutes | Distribute circular objects and ask students to cut them into halves and quarters. Encourage them to colour or decorate the parts. |
| 3 | Demonstration | 5 minutes | Show how to compare fractions by using the cut-out pieces. Explain which is larger or smaller using vocabulary like "greater than" or "less than". |
| 4 | Guided Practice | 5 minutes | Distribute worksheets with fraction exercises. Guide the students as they complete a matching activity with fractions and images. |
| 5 | Review and Summary | 5 minutes | Summarize key points about fractions. Ask students to share what they learned, reinforcing the vocabulary and concepts covered. |
| 6 | Homework Assignment | 5 minutes | Explain the homework assignment related to fractions. Students will be asked to find items at home that represent fractions (e.g., half a fruit, a quarter of a cake). Homework will be checked without presentations in front of the class. |
Encourage parents to support their children in noticing fractions in daily life. A brief note home could include suggestions for activities, like baking or sharing food.
