| 1 | Introduction to Fractions | 5 | Briefly explain the concept of fractions. Use real-life examples (e.g., cutting a pizza) to illustrate. |
| 2 | Visual Representation of Fractions | 10 | Introduce fraction circles/bars. Show how they represent parts of a whole visually. Allow students to manipulate them. |
| 3 | Guided Practice | 5 | Work through a couple of examples on the board. Ask students to create their own fractions using the visual models. |
| 4 | Independent Practice | 5 | Distribute worksheets to the students for individual practice on creating and identifying fractions. |
| 5 | Review and Wrap-Up | 5 | Summarize the day's lesson and clarify any misconceptions. Go over the answers to the worksheets without student presentations. |
Assign students to find examples of fractions in their everyday life (e.g., in cooking, shopping, etc.) and write a short paragraph describing them. Students will submit their homework in the following class without presenting it.
This lesson aligns with the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, specifically focusing on understanding fractions as numbers and comparing them.
