Detailed Lesson Plan in Mathematics with Teacher’s Script
Grade Level: Grade 1
Quarter: 4
Week: 1
Topic: Fractions – One-half and One-fourth of a Whole Region
Approach: CPA (Concrete–Pictorial–Abstract)
==================================================
DAY 1: One-Half of a Whole Region
==================================================
Teacher’s Script and Expected Student Responses
Motivation:
Teacher: “Class, I have one paper circle. If I want to share this equally with one friend, what
should I do?”
Students: “Cut it into two.” / “Share it equally.”
Teacher: “How many equal parts did we make?”
Students: “Two parts.”
Presentation:
Teacher: “Each equal part is called one-half. Can you say one-half?”
Students: “One-half.”
Teacher: “If I shade one part, what fraction is shaded?”
Students: “One-half.”
Guided Practice:
Teacher: “Is this shaded part one-half? Why?”
Students: “Yes, because it is one of two equal parts.”
==================================================
DAY 2: Dividing the Whole into Halves
==================================================
Review:
Teacher: “Who can show one-half using your hands?”
Students: (Raise one hand or show half using gestures)
Activity:
Teacher: “How many lines do we need to divide this shape into halves?”
Students: “One line.”
Teacher: “Where should we draw the line?”
Students: “In the middle.”
==================================================
DAY 3: Drawing One Whole
==================================================
Motivation:
Teacher: “I am showing you one-half of a shape. Is this already whole?”
Students: “No.”
Teacher: “What should we add to make it whole?”
Students: “Another half.”
Guided Practice:
Teacher: “If this is one-half, what fraction is missing?”
Students: “One-half.”
==================================================
DAY 4: One-Fourth of a Whole Region
==================================================
Motivation:
Teacher: “Let’s divide this shape into four equal parts. How many parts should we see?”
Students: “Four parts.”
Presentation:
Teacher: “Each equal part is called one-fourth. Can you repeat?”
Students: “One-fourth.”
Guided Practice:
Teacher: “If I shade one part, what fraction is shaded?”
Students: “One-fourth.”
Teacher: “Can we divide the shape in another way but still get four equal parts?”
Students: “Yes.”
==================================================
Assessment Questions (Oral)
==================================================
Teacher: “If a shape is divided into two equal parts, what do we call one part?”
Students: “One-half.”
Teacher: “If a shape is divided into four equal parts, what do we call one part?”
Students: “One-fourth.”
==================================================
Reflection Prompts
==================================================
Teacher: “What did you learn about halves and fourths today?”
Students: “They are equal parts of a whole.”
