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 min	Begin with a brief introduction to fractions. Ask students if they can explain what a fraction is and give examples. Use fraction circles for visualisation.
2	Exploring Equivalent Fractions	10 min	Introduce equivalent fractions through visual aids. Use fraction strips to demonstrate how fractions can be equivalent. Ask students to find equivalent fractions in pairs using worksheets.
3	Comparing Fractions	5 min	Teach students how to compare fractions with the same denominator. Present examples on the whiteboard and guide students to compare fractions on their worksheets.
4	Ordering Fractions	5 min	Demonstrate how to order fractions from smallest to largest using a number line. Have students practice ordering a set of fractions individually.
5	Word Problems	3 min	Present a simple word problem involving fractions. Guide students through the steps to solve it collaboratively.
6	Review and Homework Assignment	2 min	Summarise key points of the lesson. Hand out homework assignments that involve similar fraction concepts. Remind students of the importance of practicing fractions at home.

Homework

• Complete a worksheet that includes multiple choice questions on equivalent fractions, comparing fractions, and word problems involving fractions. Homework will be checked in the following lesson without students presenting their answers in front of the class.

Assessment

• Monitor student participation during the lesson.
• Collect and review worksheets for understanding of the concepts taught.
• Use homework completion to assess students' grasp of fractions.

Additional Notes

• Be mindful of students who may need extra support with fractions; provide additional resources or one-on-one help as needed.
• Encourage students to ask questions if they are unclear about any aspects of the lesson.
