Introduction to Fractions
Year 3 (ages 7-8)
Mathematics
30 minutes
20 students
This lesson aligns with the UK National Curriculum for Mathematics in Year 3, specifically focusing on understanding and working with fractions.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length (minutes) | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to Fractions | 5 | Begin with a brief discussion about what a fraction is. Use real-life examples (e.g., slicing a pizza) to illustrate. |
| 2 | Visual Representation | 10 | Introduce fraction circles or squares. Demonstrate how to divide shapes into equal parts and label the fractions. |
| 3 | Interactive Activity | 5 | Hand out fraction shapes to students and have them work in pairs to create different fractions. Circulate to offer support. |
| 4 | Comparing Fractions | 5 | Introduce visual aids for comparing fractions. Use number lines to demonstrate how to compare simple fractions. |
| 5 | Practice Problems | 3 | Distribute worksheets with simple fraction problems for students to complete individually. |
| 6 | Review and Homework Discussion | 2 | Review the key points of the lesson. Explain the homework assignment, which involves finding examples of fractions in everyday life (e.g., in food items, patterns). |
Students will find and document three examples of fractions from their everyday life. They will complete a worksheet based on their findings without needing to present them in class.
Students will demonstrate their understanding through completed worksheets and participation during interactive activities. No formal presentation is required for the homework.
