Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction to Fractions	5 mins	Introduce the concept of fractions, discussing numerators and denominators.
2	Explanation of Multiplying Fractions	10 mins	Explain the steps for multiplying fractions: multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. Provide clear examples on the board.
3	Guided Practice	10 mins	Distribute worksheets; work through a couple of problems together as a class, guiding students through the process. Encourage collaboration.
4	Independent Practice	5 mins	Allow students time to complete additional practice problems on their own. Walk around to assist as needed.
5	Homework Assignment and Closure	5 mins	Assign homework that includes similar problems. Discuss how homework will be checked in class the next lesson without student presentations. Emphasize the importance of practice.

Homework

• Students will receive a worksheet with mixed multiplication problems involving fractions. This will be checked in the next lesson, with feedback provided through general discussion rather than individual presentations.

Assessment

• Informal assessment will occur during guided and independent practice, observing students' understanding and ability to solve problems.
• Homework will be reviewed to gauge the level of understanding and to identify any common misconceptions.

Differentiation

• Provide additional support for students who may struggle, such as one-on-one time or additional resources.
• Challenge more advanced students with more complex problems or word problems involving real-world applications of multiplying fractions.

Reflection

• After the lesson, consider what went well and what could be improved for future lessons regarding student understanding and engagement.
