Lesson Plan – Fractions (Sample 2)
Subject: Mathematics
Topic: Fractions
Class: Primary / Middle School (adjustable)
Duration: 40 minutes
Teaching Method: Activity-based + ELPS (Experience–Language–Pictorial–Symbolic)
1. General Objectives
To develop understanding of fractions as equal parts of a whole.
To enhance logical thinking and problem-solving skills.
To connect fractions with real-life situations.
2. Specific Learning Objectives
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:
1. Define a fraction.
2. Identify numerator and denominator.
3. Represent fractions using shapes and real-life objects.
4. Differentiate between proper and improper fractions.
5. Solve simple problems using fractions.
3. Teaching–Learning Materials
Chart paper, fraction strips, colored paper cutouts (circle, rectangle, square), chalk/board.
Multimedia/flashcards (optional).
4. Previous Knowledge
Students are familiar with division, sharing, and equal grouping.
5. Introduction (5 minutes)
Teacher shows a chocolate bar/pizza picture and asks:
“If I divide this into 4 equal parts and eat 1 part, what fraction is left?”
Students respond → Teacher introduces the term fraction.
6. Presentation (15 minutes)
Experience (E): Use real objects (apple, chocolate, roti) and divide them.
Language (L): Introduce terms – fraction, numerator, denominator.
Pictorial (P): Draw shapes on board, shade parts (½, ⅓, ¼, etc.).
Symbolic (S): Write fractions in number form (1/2, 1/3, 3/4).
7. Development (10 minutes)
Differentiate proper fractions (numerator < denominator) and improper fractions
(numerator ≥ denominator).
Practice with examples:
o Identify fraction of shaded parts.
o Solve: Out of 12 students, 5 are girls. What fraction are girls?
8. Activity (5 minutes)
Group activity: Students use cutouts/fraction strips to represent 2/3, 3/4, etc.
Quick quiz: Match shapes with correct fraction.
9. Recapitulation (3 minutes)
Ask oral questions:
1. What do we call the number on top in a fraction?
2. What fraction is 2 parts shaded out of 5?
3. Give an example of an improper fraction.
10. Evaluation (2 minutes)
Worksheet / Blackboard sums:
1. Shade ½ of a rectangle.
2. Write fraction for 7 red balls out of 10.
3. Convert 5/4 into mixed fraction.
11. Homework
Draw and shade a shape to represent: 2/5, 3/6, 4/8.
Write 3 real-life examples of fractions.
📌 Would you like me to also prepare a Sample 3 LP (maybe focusing on operations on fractions like
addition/subtraction), so you have variety for practice?
