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 (minutes)	Details
1	Introduction to Fractions	5	Briefly explain what a fraction is. Use visual aids like fraction circles to illustrate.
2	Identifying Fractions	10	Distribute fraction circles/pie charts. Students identify and create their own examples.
3	Comparing Fractions	8	Introduce the concept of comparing fractions with like denominators using visual aids.
4	Group Activity	5	In groups, students order a set of fractions using fraction cards provided.
5	Independent Practice	5	Hand out worksheets with exercises on identifying and comparing fractions for independent work.
6	Recap and Homework	2	Review key points. Set homework to create a fraction poster (with examples) for next class.

Homework

• Students will create a fraction poster that includes at least three different fractions, their visual representation, and a brief description of what each represents. Homework will be reviewed upon submission without student presentations.

Assessment

• Informal assessment through observation during group activities and independent practice.
• Mark the homework for understanding of the concept.

Extension Activities

• For students who grasp the concept quickly, provide additional fractions to order or challenge them with equivalent fractions.

Differentiation

• Provide extra support with manipulatives for struggling students.
• Offer advanced tasks with improper fractions for students who excel.

Resources

• Access to educational websites for additional fraction games.
• Suggested reading materials on fractions for further understanding.
