| 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} |

Fractions on a Number Line
Year 2 / Grade 2
30 minutes
20
This lesson aligns with the Ontario Mathematics Curriculum, specifically focusing on the understanding of fractions and their representations.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction | 5 mins | Begin with a brief discussion about fractions. Ask students what they know about fractions and provide examples of how they are used in real life (e.g., sharing a pizza). |
| 2 | Introduction to Number Line | 5 mins | Introduce the concept of a number line. Explain how fractions fit onto the number line, showing examples like 0, 1/2, and 1. |
| 3 | Guided Practice | 10 mins | Use number line visuals to show how to mark fractions (e.g., 1/4, 1/3). Have students practice marking these fractions on their individual whiteboards with guidance. |
| 4 | Independent Practice | 5 mins | Distribute worksheets with a blank number line. Ask students to plot given fractions on the line. Circulate the class to provide assistance as needed. |
| 5 | Review and Assess | 5 mins | Check homework without student presentations. Collect worksheets and review answers as a class, offering corrections and clarifying any misconceptions about fractions on a number line. |
Assign students to create their own number line at home with at least five different fractions clearly marked, encouraging creativity (such as using everyday items or drawings to represent fractions). Collect and review without oral presentations in the next class.
