Objectives

• Students will understand that fractions represent parts of a whole.
• Students will be able to identify and name fractions using proper terminology.
• Students will be able to identify equivalent fractions.

Materials Needed

• Whiteboard and marker
• Fraction bars or circles
• Worksheets with fraction representations
• Scissors and glue

Procedure

1. Begin the lesson by asking students if they have ever divided a pizza or a cake with friends or family. Ask them how they divided the pizza/cake, and if it was divided equally.
2. Explain to them that they will be learning about a type of math called fractions, which is all about dividing things into equal parts.
3. Introduce the concept of fractions by drawing a rectangle on the whiteboard and shading in half of it. Explain that the shaded part is half of the whole rectangle. Write "1/2" next to the shaded area and explain that this is how we write "half" as a fraction.
4. Give students fraction bars or circles and have them explore dividing them into different parts (ex. 1/2, 1/4, 1/3).
5. Show examples of fraction representations and have students identify the fraction shown.
6. Have students practice writing fractions and identifying the fraction of a whole using worksheets.
7. Introduce equivalent fractions by showing examples of different fractions that represent the same part of a whole (ex. 1/2 = 2/4).
8. Have students practice identifying equivalent fractions using fraction bars/circles and worksheets.
9. Allow students to cut out fraction representations from worksheets and glue them onto a paper plate to create a visual representation of fractions.

Assessment

• Observe and listen to students during the lesson activities to ensure understanding.
• Have students complete a worksheet that assesses their ability to identify fractions and equivalent fractions.
• Use student-created visual representations of fractions to assess their understanding.

Closure

Review the key concepts of the lesson with students and allow time for any questions. Remind them that fractions represent parts of a whole and that there are many different fractions that can represent the same part. Have students share their visual representations of fractions with the class.
