About Chanel
I take my role as a tutor seriously and always aim to create a space where students feel confident, capable, and supported. My approach isn’t just about helping students get the right answers—it’s about teaching them how to think critically and approach problems with confidence. I come prepared with personalized lessons, track progress carefully, and always adapt my methods to what works best for each student. My goal is to make math not just understandable, but approachable and even enjoyable. You can trust that I’m here to help build real skills and lasting understanding.

Lesson Title: Understanding Fractions (Basics & Operations)
Objective:
By the end of the lesson, the student will be able to:
• Understand what a fraction is
• Identify numerator & denominator
• Simplify fractions
• Add and subtract fractions with like denominators
⸻
Materials Needed:
• Notebook & pencil
• Visual aids (drawn or printed circles/pizza/rectangles divided into parts)
• Optional: real items like a chocolate bar or paper shapes
⸻
Part 1: Introduction to Fractions (10 mins)
Start with a simple question:
“If we split a pizza into 4 equal slices and eat 1, how much did we eat?”
• Draw a pizza divided into 4 parts
• Explain: A fraction represents a part of a whole
• Top number = numerator = how many parts you have
• Bottom number = denominator = how many total parts in the whole
Example:
• 1/4 means 1 part out of 4 equal parts
Practice:
• Show visuals and ask: “What fraction is shaded?”
⸻
Part 2: Simplifying Fractions (10–15 mins)
Explain:
• Fractions can often be simplified by dividing the top and bottom by the same number
Example:
• 4/8 = 1/2 (divide both by 4)
Quick Tip: Use greatest common factor (GCF)
Practice:
• Simplify: 6/12, 10/15, 8/10
⸻
Part 3: Adding & Subtracting Fractions (Same Denominator) (15–20 mins)
Explain:
• When denominators are the same, just add or subtract the numerators
Examples:
• 2/5 + 1/5 = 3/5
• 4/7 - 2/7 = 2/7
Important: Denominator stays the same!
Practice:
• 3/8 + 2/8 = ?
• 5/9 - 3/9 = ?
Challenge: Ask them to simplify if possible.
⸻
Part 4: Real-Life Application (5–10 mins)
Ask:
• “If you ate 2/8 of a chocolate bar and your friend ate 3/8, how much did you eat together?”
• “If you cut a sandwich into 4 pieces and eat 3, what fraction did you eat?”
⸻
Exit Ticket (Last 5 mins)
Quick 3–4 questions to check understanding:
1. What does the numerator tell us?
2. Simplify 9/12
3. 2/6 + 3/6 = ?
4. What is 5/8 - 1/8?
