Introduction to Fractions

This lesson corresponds with the Canadian mathematics curriculum focusing on understanding fractions as parts of a whole.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length (minutes) | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction | 5 | Briefly introduce the topic of fractions and explain their relevance in everyday life. Ask students if they have any prior knowledge. |
| 2 | Visual Representation | 10 | Use fraction circles to illustrate how fractions represent parts of a whole. Demonstrate simple fractions like 1/2, 1/4, and 3/4 on the board. |
| 3 | Guided Practice | 10 | Distribute worksheets with fraction problems. Guide students through the first few problems, providing support as needed. |
| 4 | Independent Practice | 5 | Allow students to work independently on the remaining problems in the worksheet. Monitor and assist as required. |
| 5 | Review and Check | 5 | Review worksheet answers together as a class, checking for comprehension. Collect worksheets without students presenting their homework. |
Assign students to find examples of fractions in their daily life (like cutting a pizza or sharing snacks) and write a short paragraph about each example. This will encourage them to connect their learning with real-world scenarios.
Students will be assessed informally through observation during guided and independent practice and based on their worksheet completion.
After the lesson, the teacher should reflect on what worked well and what could be improved for future classes, considering student engagement and understanding of the topic.
