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}

30 Minutes

National Curriculum Alignment

This lesson aligns with the UK National Curriculum for Mathematics, particularly in understanding fractions, their representation, and comparison.

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction to Fractions	5 min	Begin with a brief overview of fractions. Use visuals such as fraction circles to illustrate how a whole can be divided into parts. Ask students if they can think of examples of fractions in real life.
2	Identifying Proper Fractions	10 min	Explain what constitutes a proper fraction (numerator < denominator). Provide visual aids and guide students to create their own examples on whiteboards.
3	Comparing Fractions	10 min	Introduce the concept of comparing fractions using like denominators. Use examples on the whiteboard to demonstrate. Engage students in a group activity where they compare sets of fractions.
4	Guided Practice	5 min	Distribute worksheets with fraction problems for students to practice. Circulate around the room to provide support and ensure understanding.
5	Review and Homework Assignment	5 min	Review key points from the lesson. Assign homework (similar fraction problems) to be turned in for feedback. Check homework without students presenting in front of the class to create a comfortable environment.

Assessment

• Informal assessment through observation during activities.
• Review completed worksheets for understanding.

Homework

• Complete a worksheet with various fraction problems focusing on identifying, comparing, and ordering fractions.

Conclusion

• Summarize the main ideas of the lesson. Encourage students to think of ways fractions relate to everyday life and foster a sense of curiosity for the next lesson's topic.
