Lesson Title: Introduction to Fractions

Objective: Students will be able to identify and understand the concept of fractions, including the numerator and denominator.

Materials Needed:
- Whiteboard and markers
- Fraction manipulatives (e.g. fraction circles, fraction bars)
- Worksheets with fraction problems
- Pencils

Introduction (5 minutes):
- Begin the lesson by asking students if they have heard of fractions before and what they know about them.
- Define a fraction as a part of a whole, with a numerator representing the number of parts and a denominator representing the total number of parts.
- Show examples of fractions on the whiteboard and explain how to read and write them.

Guided Practice (10 minutes):
- Use fraction manipulatives to demonstrate how to represent fractions visually.
- Have students practice identifying fractions and matching them to their corresponding visual representations.
- Work through a few examples together as a class.

Independent Practice (15 minutes):
- Distribute worksheets with fraction problems for students to complete on their own.
- Circulate around the room to provide assistance and feedback as needed.
- Encourage students to use the fraction manipulatives to help them solve the problems.

Closure (5 minutes):
- Review the key concepts of fractions, including the numerator and denominator.
- Ask students to share one thing they learned about fractions during the lesson.
- Preview the next lesson on adding and subtracting fractions.

Assessment:
- Observe students during the guided and independent practice to assess their understanding of fractions.
- Collect and review the completed worksheets to gauge students' mastery of the concept.
