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}

Simple Fractions

Objectives

• Understand the concept of fractions as parts of a whole.
• Identify and create simple fractions using visual aids.
• Perform basic operations with simple fractions (addition and subtraction).

Materials

• Whiteboard and markers
• Fraction circles or tiles
• Worksheets with fraction problems
• Projector (if available)
• Scissors and glue for hands-on activity

Grade/Age Group

Grades 3-5 (Ages 8-11)

Subject

Mathematics

Lesson Duration

30 minutes

Class Size

20 students

Curriculum Alignment

This lesson aligns with the Canadian Mathematics curriculum expectations for understanding and operating with fractions.

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction to Fractions	5 min	Introduce the concept of fractions using visual aids. Use fraction circles to explain the idea of parts of a whole.
2	Identifying Fractions	10 min	Guide students to identify fractions in everyday contexts. Use fraction tiles for hands-on experiences.
3	Operations with Fractions	10 min	Explain addition and subtraction of simple fractions using visual models. Provide examples on the whiteboard.
4	Independent Practice	5 min	Distribute worksheets. Students will work independently, solving simple fraction problems.
5	Homework Assignment	0 min	Explain the homework assignment focusing on practicing simple fractions without the need for student presentations.

Homework

Students will complete a worksheet that reinforces the concepts learned in class, focusing on identifying and performing basic operations with simple fractions. The homework will be collected and checked without requiring any presentations from students.

Assessment

• Formative assessment through observation during hands-on activities.
• Review of the independent practice worksheet to assess understanding.
• Check homework for completion and accuracy.

Conclusion

Wrap up the lesson by summarizing key points about simple fractions and their operations, and reminding students to practice their skills at home.
