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}

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction to Fractions	5 mins	Introduce the concept of fractions using visual aids; explain that a fraction represents a part of a whole.
2	Visual Representation	10 mins	Use fraction circles to show common fractions (1/2, 1/3, 1/4). Allow students to explore these visually.
3	Comparing Fractions	5 mins	Discuss how to compare fractions using visual aids; introduce the concept of "greater than" and "less than."
4	Ordering Fractions	5 mins	Guide students to order a set of simple fractions on a number line.
5	Hands-On Activity	5 mins	Divide the class into groups; provide measuring cups and let them create simple fractions with water (e.g., 1/2 cup, 1/4 cup).
6	Worksheet Activity	5 mins	Distribute worksheets with fraction exercises for students to complete independently; circulate to support as needed.
7	Conclusion and Homework Check	5 mins	Review the lesson's key points and inform students about the homework (practice problems on fractions). Collect worksheets for review.

Homework

• Students will complete a worksheet with additional fraction exercises aimed at reinforcing today's lesson. Homework will be checked at the beginning of the next lesson without requiring presentation in front of the class.
