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} |

2 | Guided Practice | 10 mins | Work through a few examples together on the whiteboard, showing how to find equivalent fractions by multiplying and dividing by the same number. |
3 | Hands-On Activity | 10 mins | Students will use fraction circles to create equivalent fractions in pairs. Each pair will use scissors and glue to assemble their findings on a poster. |
4 | Independent Practice | 3 mins | Distribute worksheets with problems on equivalent fractions for individual work. |
5 | Homework Assignment | 2 mins | Explain the homework task: complete specified worksheet problems on equivalent fractions. Remind students that the homework will be checked for completion but not presented in class. |
Complete the assigned worksheet on equivalent fractions for review in the next class. Students should show their work clearly, and their homework will be collected without presentation.
