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}

3	Guided Practice	10	Solve a few examples as a class on the whiteboard. Include adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators.
4	Independent Practice	5	Distribute worksheets with problems on adding and subtracting fractions. Allow students to work individually.
5	Homework Assignment Explanation	1	Explain the homework assignment that reinforces today's lessons. Provide instructions without student presentations.
6	Closure	3	Recap the day’s learning. Ask students to summarize what they learned in pairs. Collect worksheets for checking.

Homework

• Assign students a worksheet that includes problems related to adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators.
• Ensure students understand they will complete the homework independently, and it will be checked without presentations.

Assessment

• Review completed worksheets and provide feedback to students individually.
• Observe student participation during class discussions and hands-on activities to gauge understanding.

Reflection

• After the lesson, teachers should reflect on students' understanding and adjust future lessons accordingly. Consider what went well and what may need improvement based on student engagement and error patterns.
