| 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} |

This lesson aligns with the Australian National Curriculum for Mathematics, focusing on Number and Algebra, specifically the understanding of fractions.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction | 5 min | Briefly introduce the concept of fractions. Explain how fractions represent parts of a whole using visual aids (e.g., pie charts, fraction circles). |
| 2 | Direct Instruction | 10 min | Teach how to identify and write simple fractions. Use manipulatives to demonstrate the concept, showing halves, thirds, and quarters. |
| 3 | Guided Practice | 5 min | Work through a few examples together as a class. Encourage students to participate by using their manipulatives and engaging in discussion. |
| 4 | Independent Practice | 5 min | Distribute worksheets that require students to identify, compare, and solve problems involving fractions. Circulate and support students as needed. |
| 5 | Review and Check Homework | 5 min | Quickly review the homework from the previous lesson, correcting common errors without calling on individual students to present. |
| 6 | Conclusion and Questions | 5 min | Summarize key points of the lesson. Encourage questions from students and provide clarifications as needed. |
Students will complete a worksheet that reinforces the concepts covered in class. It will include identifying, comparing, and solving simple fraction problems. The homework will be checked for understanding but will not require student presentations.
