| 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} |

| Step Number | Step Title | Length (minutes) | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to Fractions | 5 | Begin with a brief overview of what fractions are. Engage students by asking for examples of fractions in real life. Use the whiteboard to draw a simple fraction and discuss its parts (numerator, denominator). |
| 2 | Hands-on Activity | 10 | Divide students into small groups. Provide each group with fraction circles or manipulatives to visualize different fractions. Ask them to create different fractions and share with the class what they have made. |
| 3 | Instruction on Comparison | 5 | Teach students how to compare fractions using the same denominators and cross-multiplication for different denominators. Use visual aids to demonstrate. |
| 4 | Guided Practice | 5 | Provide students with a worksheet containing problems on comparing and ordering fractions. Walk around the classroom to support students as needed. |
| 5 | Independent Practice | 5 | Have students complete a different worksheet with addition and subtraction of fractions on their own. Ensure they understand the procedure before starting. |
| 6 | Review and Homework | 5 | Recap the lesson by highlighting key points discussed. Assign homework that includes problems on identifying, comparing, and solving fraction problems. Inform students that homework will be collected but not presented. |
