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. Use visual aids like fraction circles/bars for illustration. Explain numerator and denominator.
2	Interactive Activity	10 mins	Engage students in small groups to create their own fraction circles. They will represent simple fractions (e.g., 1/2, 3/4).
3	Comparison Techniques	5 mins	Teach how to compare fractions using common denominators and visual aids. Use whiteboard examples.
4	Guided Practice	5 mins	Provide worksheets with fraction comparison exercises. Walk around to assist students as needed.
5	Independent Practice	3 mins	Allow students to start on their own problems. Encourage them to use visual aids if necessary.
6	Review and Wrap-Up	2 mins	Summarize key points from the lesson. Answer any remaining questions.

Homework

• Assign students a worksheet with problems on comparing fractions.
• Collect homework at the beginning of the next class without asking students to present it in front of the class.

Assessment

• Monitor student participation during group activities and individual work.
• Review completed homework for understanding of the lesson's objectives.

Additional Resources
