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}

• Students will be able to identify and create equivalent fractions.
• Students will be able to add and subtract simple fractions with like denominators.

Materials

• Whiteboard and markers
• Fraction circles or fraction bars
• Worksheets with fraction problems
• Individual whiteboards and markers for each student
• Access to online fraction games (if technology allows)

Grade/Age Group

Suitable for students in Grade 3-5 (Ages 8-11)

Subject

Mathematics

Class Size

20 students

Lesson Duration

30 minutes

National Curriculum Alignment

This lesson aligns with the Australian Curriculum: Mathematics, focusing on the understanding and calculation of fractions within Number and Algebra strands.

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction to Fractions	5 minutes	Introduce the concept of fractions using visual aids (fraction circles/bars) to illustrate how fractions represent parts of a whole. Ask students to share examples of fractions in real life.
2	Understanding Equivalent Fractions	10 minutes	Provide an explanation of equivalent fractions. Use visual aids to demonstrate how to identify them. Engage students in a quick activity using fraction circles to find and create equivalent fractions in pairs.
3	Adding and Subtracting Fractions	10 minutes	Explain the process of adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators. Demonstrate several examples on the whiteboard. Distribute worksheets with problems for students to practice individually or in pairs.
4	Class Discussion and Review	5 minutes	Open the floor for questions regarding the worksheet. Summarise key points of the lesson. Use quick formative assessment (e.g., thumbs up/down) to gauge understanding.
5	Homework Assignment	0 minutes	Distribute homework sheets that reinforce lesson topics, and remind students that they will check the completed homework at the beginning of the next class without presentations.

Assessment

• Formative assessment through observation during activities.
• Review of completed worksheets and homework for understanding of fractions.

Homework

• Assign a worksheet with similar fraction problems as practiced in class.
• Ensure students understand that they will check homework together at the start of the next lesson without presentations.

Additional Notes

• Ensure to adapt instructions based on the varying levels of understanding within the class.
• Provide support and enrichment activities for students who finish early.
