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 plan

Lesson Plan

Topic

Understanding Basic Fractions

Objectives

• Introduce the concept of fractions as parts of a whole.
• Identify and create equivalent fractions.
• Solve simple fraction problems.

Materials

• Whiteboard and markers
• Fraction circles or visual fraction models
• Worksheets with fraction problems
• Projector (if available) for visual presentations
• Math manipulatives (like counters or blocks)

Grade/Age Group

Suitable for Year 3-4 (ages 8-10)

Subject

Mathematics

Length of Lesson

30 minutes

Class Size

20 students

Curriculum Alignment

This lesson aligns with the Australian Curriculum for Mathematics, focusing on Number and Algebra, particularly on fractions and decimals.

Homework

Students will be assigned a worksheet to practice equivalent fractions, which will be collected and checked without students presenting in front of the class.

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction to Fractions	5 mins	Explain what fractions are using visual aids like fraction circles; discuss examples from everyday life.
2	Exploring Equivalent Fractions	10 mins	Demonstrate how to find equivalent fractions using visual models; engage students with manipulatives to find pairs of equivalent fractions.
3	Guided Practice	7 mins	Distribute worksheets for students to work in pairs on identifying and creating equivalent fractions. Monitor progress and provide assistance where needed.
4	Independent Work	5 mins	Allow students to start on the individual worksheet that includes simple fraction problems.
5	Review and Wrap-Up	3 mins	Recap key points from the lesson on fractions and equivalent fractions; answer any final queries. Inform students about the homework assignment and expectations.

Assessment

Evaluate students' understanding during the guided practice through observation and check their completed homework in the following class for comprehension.

Differentiation

• For Advanced Students: Provide more complex fraction problems or introduce improper fractions and mixed numbers.
• For Struggling Students: Offer additional visual aids and one-on-one support using manipulatives to explain fraction concepts further.

Reflection

After the lesson, the teacher should reflect on what worked well, any challenges faced, and how to improve the lesson for next time.
