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}

Grade/Age Group

Grade 4

Subject

Mathematics

Class Size

20 students

National Curriculum Alignment

This lesson aligns with the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, specifically focusing on the concepts of fraction equivalence and comparisons (CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.NF.A.1).

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction to Fractions	5 min	Briefly introduce the concept of fractions using visual aids like fraction circles. Explain the terminology: numerator, denominator, and whole.
2	Identifying Fractions	10 min	Distribute fraction circles. Have students work in pairs to identify different fractions represented by the circles. Discuss findings as a class.
3	Comparing Fractions	5 min	Introduce comparative terms (greater than, less than, equal to). Provide examples on the board. Use fraction bars for visual comparison.
4	Interactive Activity	5 min	Use practice cards where students compare pairs of fractions. Circulate to assist and observe as students work collaboratively.
5	Adding and Subtracting Fractions	5 min	Introduce adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators. Show examples on the board and solve a problem together as a class.
6	Practice Problems	5 min	Distribute worksheets with problems on adding and subtracting fractions. Set a timer to encourage focus. Walk around to provide support.
7	Homework Assignment	2 min	Explain the homework assignment. Students are to complete a worksheet practicing fractions at home. Emphasize the importance of practicing independently.
8	Closing	3 min	Quick review of what was learned during the lesson. Ask students to share one new thing they learned without calling anyone to the front.

Homework

• Complete a worksheet focused on various fraction problems: identifying, comparing, adding, and subtracting fractions. No presentations will be required; simply collect homework the next day for review.

Assessment

• Monitor student participation during interactive activities.
• Review completed worksheets for understanding of concepts taught during the lesson.

Additional Notes

• Ensure to accommodate different learning styles by incorporating various methods of instruction (visuals, group work, hands-on activities).
• Consider providing extra support or challenges based on individual student needs.
