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 (mins)	Details
1	Introduction	5	Briefly introduce the concept of fractions and their importance. Use visual aids to illustrate.
2	Direct Instruction	10	Explain how to add and subtract fractions with like denominators. Use examples on the whiteboard.
3	Guided Practice	5	Distribute worksheets with guided problems. Assist students as necessary.
4	Independent Practice	5	Allow students to work on problems independently, using manipulatives if needed.
5	Review & Check Homework	5	Go over homework assignment. Ask students to check their answers with a partner, without needing to present in front of the class.

Homework

• Complete a worksheet on adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators.
• Encourage students to create their own fraction problems for practice.

Assessment

• Observe student participation during guided and independent practice.
• Check the completed worksheets for understanding and accuracy.

Differentiation

• Provide additional support for students who may struggle with the concepts by using extra visual aids.
• Challenge more advanced students with problems that include mixed numbers.

Reflection

• Post-lesson reflection on student engagement and understanding.
• Adjust future lessons based on student performance and feedback.
